Skyline Drive Cruise! (pic heavy)
chris_flies organized a meet for us DC/MD/VA people this past Saturday!
We first went to a go-kart place, then to Italian food, and after that onward to Skyline Drive in Shenandoah. It was a bit chilly but we all had a great time, except the Audi that tried to keep up lol...... (last pic in the thread) If anyone is interested in joining us on future meets, we have a LOCAL Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/916833608328620/ ...and a 1Addicts page at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/720247235008776/ SkylineCruiseMarch2019-9 by Matt Steele, on Flickr SkylineCruiseMarch2019-10 by Matt Steele, on Flickr SkylineCruiseMarch2019-16 by Matt Steele, on Flickr SkylineCruiseMarch2019-21 by Matt Steele, on Flickr SkylineCruiseMarch2019-27 by Matt Steele, on Flickr SkylineCruiseMarch2019-29 by Matt Steele, on Flickr SkylineCruiseMarch2019-30 by Matt Steele, on Flickr SkylineCruiseMarch2019-39 by Matt Steele, on Flickr SkylineCruiseMarch2019-45 by Matt Steele, on Flickr SkylineCruiseMarch2019-59 by Matt Steele, on Flickr SkylineCruiseMarch2019-48 by Matt Steele, on Flickr SkylineCruiseMarch2019-47 by Matt Steele, on Flickr SkylineCruiseMarch2019-49 by Matt Steele, on Flickr SkylineCruiseMarch2019-63 by Matt Steele, on Flickr audi2 by Matt Steele, on Flickr

This is, by far, the most fun I've had driving my car outside of a track day. The blast up 211 to Shenandoah was SOO much fun. I wish I had my phone mounted up for video when I took off up that hill. That was a ridiculous amount of fun for me, and made me appreciate my car immensely (it's just built for those kinds of roads). I pretty much had more fun going up and down 211 than on Skyline Drive itself. For the next time, I want to get us onto some more roads like that...
And that poor Audi. Ouch. Audi's gonna Audi and terminally understeer into a mountain... Thanks to you and everyone else that came along, it was a great day to not be in an A4. The skies were perfect for photos!

The North end of the park (Front Royal entrance) was closed due to the snow on Thursday, so we went down 340, to the West of the park, and blasted up the backside of 211 (which was amazing) and entered there.

I'm already filing through Google Maps for back roads that we can take instead of Skyline ($30 was steep for an hour of driving in a 35mph zone) in the general area. It might be a good idea to meet for breakfast, grab gas and a picnic lunch or something, and head out for a morning in the hills, then come back in the afternoon, go drive go-karts, grab some dinner, and head our separate ways from there. I really enjoyed the small group and having a little more variety in the cars (not that 1'ers are boring) that were there.

Hahaha the best thing about doing this stuff in the winter is no hikers/bikes to worry about. We play it safe year-round anyway
