POST TO HAVE YOUR NAME ADDED TO THE LIST

To Bring:

• FRS Radio - Channel 6
• Extra Advans

Est.Costs:

• Accomodations - If you have a room to yourself ~$150. If you're sharing figure about a 1/4 to 1/2 that.
  
• Gas - ~$100`. I'm going to estimate high on this as it's just safer.
  
• Food - ~$60. Again, I'm overestimating.
  
  Total: Anywhere from $120 to $310 total, depending on the above factors. Super cheap!

Yeah you'll have to come down to Orlando and depart from there.

i'll go from ATL. can host if people need to sleep...not huge place, but have room.

 

to busy moving to jersey. wish i could make it...nice to see some real organization going into this...i highly suggest as i have seen many of these fail, #1 to continue bumping atleast once a week and #2 get with 93civic on local arrangements and ideas

be back down once steve finishes my 95 awd tsi talon. then the evo and the talon be ready. shoot i already have my sticker from the dragon from last time waiting to be put on her.

 

add me on there. I'm up for another trip.

i'll be bringing my car this time.

 

also, the Nasioc wrx and sti people are going there sometime around that time.

Maybe we could get together.

 

On the 17-20th weekend? Yep, that's my thread over on nasioc.

 

Damn..Sounds like a sweet trip..I'll see if I can make it...I have to finish paying off some bills first...

 

i'm going to try to make this one too. sign me up!
