[s-cars] blue coolant numbers . . .

[Ray Tomlinson]

Hello all,

I need to pick up some coolant from my nearby VW dealer for my S6.  Audi
dealer is about 1hour during peak traffic, and I need it tonite.

Boston VW parts quotes p/n ZBW 237 105.  $18.95/gallon.

Can anyone verify?  Any and all help appreciated.

Cheers,

Ray Tomlinson

Subject: [s-cars] your New Year's RESOLUTION - read



Please read, I promise the length is worth it:

Well, I've been recently accused of being too quiet over here, so it's
apparently time for me to drop DA BOMB on ya'all that I've had tucked up my
sleeve for some time now.  I've hinted at it previously.  I've shared it
with a close few of you.  It's time now to make it each of our 2003 New
Year's Resolutions.

The ingredients?

-someone just dumb enough to organize - check
-someone who lives within a few hours of it for homeside recon - check
-enough fellow listers to climb aboard - check
-insanity - checkcheckcheck
-precedent in such silly things (Tom, Keith, Fredric & Joern/Frank) - check

Curious?

What is it, you ask?  Remember, I have *issues*...

-13 miles
-73 turns
-a "public toll road"
-no speed limits
-few rules
-~ $13.00 a lap
-homage to der Mutherland

Yes folks, you got it...  we're going to Der Nurburgring in '03.  Der
Nordschleife.  The Northern Loop.  I *VOW* to return, and hereby make it my
2003 New Year's Resolution to do so.

While it's my hope that most of you as fellow //S idiots, car idiots, racing
idiots, etc. have at least heard of it, below are some links for your New
Year's Eve surfing pleasure.  Basically, you show up in your car, purchase a
lap or 50, insert your ticket into the toll gate, and let 'er rip.  That's
it.  No rules.  No instruction.  Just sheer BLISS.  I was out there with an
F348, a 993, motorcycles, a tour bus, a Honda CRV, and a pizza delivery
station wagon, all at once, no joke.  It's hilarious.

While this right now is a plan in the making, I did want to finally unleash
it upon you all to be able to get it out there.  The idea is for those
interested to agree on possible date(s) that work.  At this point I'm
leaning toward maybe the Aug / Sept. area.  Basically, I envision a family /
work friendly Thurs. a.m. - Sun. p.m. sort of thang, with a full day or 2 @
Der Ring.

And it just so happens that none other than our very own Keith Maddock lives
within a few hours of Der Ring, and has been gracious enough to put us all
up at his place, feed us, and rent us cars.  OK, he didn't offer any of
that, but he DID offer to do, and has already done, some homeland recon for
us for cheap local hotel / rental car info.  A VERY valuable resource to
have for this.

If I'm going back, I can't picture what would be more fun than to do it with
a bunch of you fellow idiots to make it all the more enjoyable.  And be a
perfect opportunity to meet some of you further-away'ers.  I've already got
a solid handful of 100%ers, the more the merrier, tell your friends.

Another basic idea is to keep it on the cheap, no five star accommodations
here.  Hell, I'll sleep in my rental and put the $ saved toward a rental
upgrade (nothing can be worse than the Peugeot 406TD I ran there in 2000!).
So start saving now.  Realistically, it'll cost a plane ticket, 3 nights
lodging, 2 days rental car, food, beer, and beer.  We'll do like 2-4 to a
room, and 2 to a rental car or something.

Stay tuned for more details.  Let's hear who's interested, I need to begin a
tally to start ironing out the details. Suggestions welcome / appreciated /
heckled.

I hereby DARE each and all of you interested to make this your New Year's
Resolution.  I am.
