The Spring RGB Drive/gtg -- April 23rd, 2016

[Jim_75Sahara]

Anyone who wishes to join us at FUEL Coffee at 10:00 AM... well, you need to get your 2002, E3, E21, E28, E30, E36, whatever -- roadworthy.   Join us for tire-kicking and coffee at FUEL, followed by a stimulating drive through the countryside of northern KY led by Ricky Bobbie himself, our incredibly charismatic leader, Jason Gipson. After the drive, we will convene at the Hofbrau Haus in Newport, KY for a Bavarian feast, complete with hops, barley and malt.

 

If you live outside our immediate area and wish to join us, that's great, please do so. Andrew Wilson (and Vern) will be in from the state of Maine to join the action. We'd enjoy hosting other folks as well. 

 

Freud Am Fahren!

By now, many of you know that the Spring RGB Ridge Run in Northern KY was a blast. We had several classic 2002's, several E30's (including an M3), an M5, a Lotus, even a Civic! Andrew Wilson stated that ours was the best drive ever.... fine praise, indeed. Beforehand, there was a massive turnout at FUEL Coffee along River Road just east of downtown Cincinnati. Larry Platt showed off his '86 Vixen motor home (BMW diesel engine), which was a hit with everyone there. Jason's '76 Pastelblau 2002 aptly named "The Beer Snob", was also a huge hit with the crowd. It performed admirably on our drive through the twisties; with less smoke than we'd anticipated out the back, too! We dodged stray dogs, tractors and confused motorists on the back roads. By the time we got to the Hofbrau Haus, we were more than ready for beer, schnitzel, wurst and kraut. The weather was absolutely perfect. No breakdowns, no crumpled metal, no off-roading, no tickets; basically just YAY!!

 

Thanks to all of you that came out for the fun. Thanks especially to the MAN, Jason Gipson for heading up the adventure....

 

Please consider joining us this Fall when we combine our back roads ridge-running with 2 nights of relaxation at Sabbathsong Farm B&B. Date is yet to be determined. Contact myself or Jason Gipson (Eurotrash) with questions if you'd like to join up.

Hands down that Spring Ridge Run was the best tour/drive I have ever been on. So glad I was able to join in the festivities at Fuel Coffee and see all my '02 friends and make several new ones. Got a bit of the VIP treatment too. Kudos to Jason Gipson (Eurotrash) for putting together the who thing, hats off to you sir.

You guys are too nice.. I just want everyone to smile, laugh, and well, feel the flow of miles of perfectly cambered twisties... In the end, its all about my peeps.  And this year we were blessed, 2016 Spring Ridge Run was immaculate.

(Not to mention that Ian and I busted our balls and maybe our love lives to have that car there!)
