Mary and I are still here and having breakfast at the bistro. Should be out of here by 11 +/-.

Had a very nice day yesterday. Made reservations for our 30th anniversary in June at Tapoco Lodge. Went to Waynesville and then did about 60 miles on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Beautiful flowering foliage but chilly up around 6K feet.

 

It was great to see you guys again Mark. Drive safe and I hope to see you again in the fall.

 

Had a good time. It was nice meeting everyone. We made it home around 6 yesterday because we wanted to do a few more runs. See you guys in the fall!

 

Raining here….
Be careful driving !!!!

 

Ryan and I made it back to Memphis around 1630 after find a couple of no gas, gas stations and a McDee's lunch. We both had a great time. We, Ryan especially was in his element talking about cars.

P0600 - Communications error possibly related to power loss. How could that be?!?!?

I have reset it and as soon as I get the tires back from balancing I will put a few miles on it to see what happens.

 

Great seeing everyone. Thanks to Mike for the great drives. Glad to see everyone got home safe. I left at 5:20am missed all that traffic! Back to Milford by 11:00am.

 

Hi guys,

Somewhat new to the S2000 (got mine a year ago now). What is this event in September you guys mentioned? My mother has a house in Asheville so I’ve been meaning to make the drive up and also visit the tail of the dragon. Was planning on doing it over a holiday weekend, but I’m definitely interested in changing plans to do it on a weekend with other S2000 enthusiasts.

 

We have a spring and a fall get together at the dragon each year. We stay at Fontana Village just off 28 near the dragon. Most of us show up on Thursday and head home on Sunday but there are a few who stay longer. If you would like to join just keep an eye out here for a thread with registration info. Registration for the fall even should open pretty soon.

 

Well, then you need to go visit your Mom's house in Asheville a couple of times a year! It really isn't possible to participate in these weekends from any further away than Tapoco Lodge or Robbinsville where there is a MicroTel. Most people stay at the Fontana Dam Resort which has a lodge (hotel) and cabins for groups. Each day various people volunteer to lead 10-25 cars on a drive either to experience a certain road or area or to a destination. Like to Franklin for Lunch on Friday or the incredible and dangerous Devil's Triangle on a Thursday or Cherahola Skyway or a midnight star gazing drive. It is so fun being there with dozens of other S2000's. As our cars age, the vast majority have mods or are personalized and it is cool to see what others do. Then there are OEM cars and some with hundreds of thousands of miles in attendance!

But you can arrive early and stay in Ashville, often there are sub-groups that meet for a dinner in Ashville on the way and then stop on the way back on Monday after.

Highly recommended! Check the Vintage forum as well as the Events forum for more posts.
