Spring '18 RGB Ridge Run

[saaron]

Eurotrash organized another Spring Ridge Run...probably started them 7 or 8 years ago.  A lot of the same folks as then, but some new faces as well, which is great.  

 

Chamber of Commerce weather, and the local traffic seemed light.  We started out at Cars and Coffee at Fuel.  Ended with lunch and libations at Hofbrau House.  

 

My car ran great.  So, overall, one of my favorite days, ever.  Thanks to Jason and everyone that came out.

Here are some pics:

 

Jim Denker's new (to him) 02.  Nick's car in foreground (ex Bailey Tailor 02).

 

Mike Self's car, the Beer Snob, my tii:

 

Mike Self's car, Ben Younce's E30 in the background.

 

Ben's beauty of an E30.  Came down from Indy.

 

Beer Snob in all it's glory.

 

My '72 tii that I've had forever.  Love those Recaros on the windy roads.  Don't know how I survived with my stock seats.

 

Jim Denker's Sahara.  This car is SUPER nice.  I think that is Nick's daughter perched on the back diving board.

 

Charlie Grafton came down from Columbus - always great to see Charlie.

 

John Blake's 02 is down, so he drove his 318i.  Was seen at lunch asking Ben if he had any E30 sport springs laying around.

 

The ceremonial Beer Snob start up to begin the event.

 

My phone was briefly vandalized by this guy and his friends.  You can see Mike, Jim, Jacob and Dirk in the background.

Great fun had by all--Jason's route through all those northern KY back roads was a blast--we only got caught behind slow moving drivers (and a couple of even slower motorcyclists) once or twice.  Those back roads really allows one to enjoy the 2002's inherent handling and balance--and give you a chance to exercise that smooth gearbox.  Goes to show you don't need 300+ horsepower to have fun in a car--with good handling.  Just what an '02 is for.

 

There will be a fall drive--in the fall--that's an overnight affair.  Details will emerge later in the summer.  Thanks again Jason!
