Someone should look into laws regarding transporting alcohol across state lines, though. lol.

We should get into moonshine running...

Love Z4 coupes!

Just make sure he parks at the end of the line so he doesn't bugger up our group shots... :roflpuke2:

Speaking of moonshine: Virginia Moonshine Its in Culperpper, VA which is about 60 miles from our meet location. Driving Directions from Fairfax, Virginia to 13490 Cedar Run Rd Culpeper, Virginia

m4a1mustang 03-23-2010 07:42 PM

Oh and they do tours. That would be cool.

Dogfish sounds just fine this weekend for me. Then maybe next weekend if anyone is interested we can run up to the distillery. I've never been out this way so if anyone knows about this place or the area, feel free to chime on in. I just figure it'll be good to get out on the road and drive.

I probably won't be able to make it out next weekend (going to Philly).

If anyone is interested in a nice long cruise out to Shenandoah we can run out to Sperryville to pick up some good 'ole Virginia apple butter and honey and run the northern section of Skyline Drive up to Front Royal. Not this weekend but maybe another time. It's always a nice drive.

That might be a better deal Steve to drive up the Shenandoah. I can always use some good apple butter! So you won't be here this weekend but you will be here the next?

I'll be here this weekend for Dogfish but most likely not next.

The drive out to Shenandoah is nice. You can either roll out on 66 and enter Skyline Drive in Front Royal, then drive south and get off on 211 in Sperryville, stop for the delicious homemade foodstuffs, and then take 211 all the way to 29 north in Warrenton and head back. Reverse the route if you want to run Skyline heading north.

2theextreme 03-23-2010 09:47 PM

y0 Steve.....I'm sure we can work something out with my OEM spoiler. We can discuss it this weekend. :tup:

m4a1mustang 03-23-2010 09:49 PM

Haha -- I will only accept it if it's free!!! Honestly, I have no idea what i'd do with it. Maybe put it on the roof to take some gag photos.

Haha.....I was hoping the spoiler I purchased was gonna be an overlay but hey, I couldn't pass it up. Now I'll have two CF parts in the front and two CF parts in the rear. Oh....and my headlights are done and being shipped tomorrow!! I'll have everything ready to install very very soon. Look out Z Dayz......I'm comin'! :excited:

m4a1mustang 03-23-2010 09:53 PM

That's awesome, the car is going to look pretty sweet!

I am going to do some cosmetic things myself. Going to see if I can accelerate plans and get as much as I can done before Z days. Gonna have to make a trip to the powdercoater!

:tup: I think the only other options I would do (and probably could do at this point outside of a turbo kit) is:

1. powdercoat brakes blue
2. tint windows

m4a1mustang 03-23-2010 10:02 PM

I don't know how the blue calipers would look (maybe too much blue?), but I definitely think you should get your windows tinted. Even if you only do the legal limit (50% in VA) it will look better than stock and totally change the look of the car with the windows up.

You've seen mine... it's 38%.

Me, I'm planning on powder coating the wheels gloss black (possibly with a thin solid red time attack stripe) and having the headlight housings done in a flat/satin black. I'll also need to take care of the silver door handles, which will probably be painted solid red to match the body color.

That'll be good to start!

2theextreme 03-23-2010 10:05 PM

Yeah, Lou Fusz keeps bugging me to get my windows tinted. :icon17: I'll have to check out the cars again Saturday. I've never really considered it but I'll give a good look.

I was looking at some pictures and working with photoshop to work it out and it almost looks like there's a hole in the door when it's black. I'll have to keep thinking about it. I'm still not 100% sure if I want black. It's either that or gunmetal ala the Ferrari F430 Scuderia Spider 16M. Of the two, black definately looks more menacing and sporty.

Two words:

Racing stripes. Adds 25 HP. TO THE WHEELS!

You guys are forcing me to start considering at least a pair of sway bars. I hate the mod bug. That and other bugs but I digress.

I think a black (not typical gray) gunmetal would look nice... it wouldn't look like a hole, but it would not look as half-assed as painting it red (little looks worse than making it look like you don't know how to tape things off when entering the paint booth :tiphat: ).

You've done all this **** to your car and haven't considered window tint? You are one strange cat! :bowrofl:

Tint was the very first thing I did to my car along with the clear bra.

Hahaha....nope, never did. I like look of the Persimmon interior and kinda like being able to show it off thru the windows. We'll see what I do......and if I can even afford it after the latest round of mod's I just invested in. :icon14:

Tony, think of the tint as a outer wrapping around the surprise inside. It looks awesome on the outside then when you open the doors....Voila! All those other things you've done. :tiphat:

Not to mention a 7 MPG boost in all driving conditions ;)

rtcpenguin 03-24-2010 09:37 PM

Dog fish head??? lame.. sweetwater is better. (my sister used to work there so im biased lol).

they're both good.

either way, it would be nice to drive around a little bit.

[edit] Alright I'm pissed because my friend said he didn't want to drink at a "splash center"...the Sweetwater I'm referring to is a restaurant that is in Centreville (thers also one in Fairfax (best one) and Sterling). If anyone has eaten at one of their chain resaurants (which are all good) than you have lived a good life.

NCSUPACK09 03-25-2010 04:00 PM

Went to the Sweetwater in Centreville two weeks ago. Man, that was some good stuff. I will definitely be going back again.

madelf 03-25-2010 04:41 PM

I would agree with window tinting....have my appointment for next week. Let the mods begin!

:happydance:

getawaydriver 03-26-2010 07:39 AM

I think the weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow but judging by what we are getting right now you would think otherwise.

Good lord it was coming down.
