DC Area Members?

KH,

I'm game - what time would you want to meet? I assume meeting in your direction would be better, since I'm guessing the toll road is a decent option for heading to Bethesda around rush hour?

 

[Kevin Harney]

I work in Gainesville and get off work @ 6. So I am kinda on the way past your house around that time .... How does that work for you and your schedule?

 

[walk_n_wind]

Works for me

Kevin,

I'm still game - if it's convenient for you to pick me up in your car, let me know where you'd like to do so. My recommendation would be at the Giant @ the intersection of Braddock and Stone.

However, if you'd like me to drive, let me know where you want to meet up. Since driving me back will be out of your way, it might make sense for us to meet at your place. Since you seem to have the tighter schedule (I can bust out @ 5), I'll let you make the call.

That was a good meeting. I wish it started more on time and didn't run so late.

Someone posted this from last night. BB's car:

EVA/DC - Welcome to EVA/DC

Bethesda was a good location! When can we do it again? :biggrin:

According tot eh website, the next meeting is:
Tuesday, July 21 - EVA/DC Meeting, Location TBA

So, we'll have to find out where when it gets closer. Not sure yet if I'm making the next meeting or not, but I think just about everybody is looking forward to the 9th Annual Power of DC Show/Autocross/Drag Races August 29-30.

I'll be there with my Roadster Sport which I'll have by then ... provided we can arrange 240V charging at one of the motels.

Beautiful paint!

Nice looking!

Take your top off!

 

[xcelero.ii]

@tdave: Oh I'll be there for that! :biggrin:

@walk_n_wind: Absolutely fantastic! I still can't believe that I was minutes away and managed to miss the meet. Next time though, right?

Curious. Why the username "inajamaica" "walk_n_wind"?? You wouldn't happen to be a yardie too??

 

[walk_n_wind]

@xcelero.ii - inajamaica was from my childhood days when I wished I was a yardie and walk_n_wind is actually inspired by automatic, mechanical watches, since you wind them when you walk. Although I totally dig the Caribbean interpretation!

Good times, good times...so I guess this means you hail from Jamaica?

Lol. Too cool. I'm a first gen. :biggrin: Entire family is West Indian. I was born and raised in Silicon Valley.

Interestingly, when I was a child, I wished I was British. I have tons of family who are and have always been envious of them. LOL.

Jamaica isn't ready for Tesla Roadster!! :tongue:

 

[walk_n_wind]

@BB and @TDave - one of the EVA DC guys shot me an e-mail about the Roadster charging requirements, as he's attempting to arrange hotel charging for The Power of DC. Might you guys PM me your e-mails since you will probably be the ones making use of such a facility? I can pass your e-mail to him and maybe you guys can make sure you're good to go for the event...

If you want to Autocross

All marques are welcome at our monthly autocross in Winchester Virginia.

wwhopper,

Sounds like fun, and I should probably get some practice before going to Hagerstown. Is there any place to recharge there? Possibly 240VAC access?

I can do a search for RV parks in the area tonight.

The MB Club is at Summit Point Raceway

This weekend 7/25 7/26

Not sure about power outlets - I sure know they have it at VIR when we were there.
