I'm moving to Ohio as soon as the BiTurbo V8q project is road worthy. And it occured to me that it would be nice to meet a few of you from this general area before I leave. So here is the idea.
I was thinking of firing up the grill outside the shop on a saturday or sunday in early may. get some pics of our cars. maybe a short cruise through the countryside of Gates CO NC...or even a beach trip to the Outer Banks NC if anyone is up for it.
I know there are a few of us if not so many as other areas.
Anyone up for it?
Driving directions...............
From Richmond Area......
I-295 Exit 3A: US 460 East. Follow to Suffolk.
As you approach Suffolk there will be a pair of truckstops (one on each side) and a Holiday Inn on the left side. Make the left turn onto the Bypass immediately after the Holiday Inn. DO NOT GO UNDER THE OVERPASS
Follow bypass to 45mph zone, take right ramp to new bypass Edenton NC/Rt 13 DO NOT GO THROUGH STOPLIGHT/UNDER OVERPASS
At end of new bypass merge right onto Rt13/32 South.
Get in Left lane.
Turn left onto Rt 32 Carolina Road. Stay on Carolina road through the big sweeping left curve (Its the first left curve on the road)
After exiting curve turn left at house with White picket fence. (Babbtown Rd.)
Stay on Babbtown to stop sign (aprox 1.5 miles) turn right onto White Marsh Rd.

When 264 becomes 2 lanes just pick a lane and stay in it, do not change lanes at the interchange and you will end up on US460w/US58w/US13s.
