I am new to these forums but to those that live in the area you may have seen me -- I drive the blue Lotus Elise in Lynchburg. Here is an event to start the new year right, it's my goal to make this a very enjoyable year to auto enthusiasts in this area, first beginning with this drive. I would at least like to get a poker run going, a rally to the beach, etc. But it depends on everybody's participation.

Good luck with having a cruise over mountain roads covered with marbles(gravel put down from the snow/ice)

Jaegermeister

Thank you for your concerns. I should have been more specific: Loose gravel is included within the "'road conditions."

I cannot predict the future and therefore I am unable to tell you the kind of winter we will see this year, but routes with loose gravel will be avoided. Last year both Route 56 and Route 60 were treated with gravel but other routes were not (And I cannot remember the year before which was considered a more mild winter.) Nonetheless I will be driving these routes periodically throughout the winter (as I usually do,) and a day before for good measure.

Yeah no disrespect but I know that in this area (SWVA) that early February usually means big snow, in my personal experience there's been at least 5 inches on my birthday (feb. 6) for at least the past 5 years. You should set the date for spring instead: no snow, no marbles, no fucking salt to make my wheels stick to the hubs.

This.

I have changed the date to April 2nd, 2011. No snow. No Marbles. No salt.

Hope to see you guys there. RSVP on Facebook, friend me even. If you have anymore concerns shoot them my way.

The Nisbro

my car MIGHT be on the road by then.

I deal with this everyday. Wurth makes some really good anti-seize type compound that is goldish in color(I think it's called like CU1100 or somn..). It's not cheap, but it works exceptionally well. Good wire wheel or wire brush the crap out of the hub lip, slather that shit on, and slap her on.
