actually fastest way to LDG from columbia is to shoot up 32 and you have to make a left onto burntwoods rd. and then a right onto hobbs rd, which will end on 97, which you make a right on and then an immediate left into the shopping plaza where LDG resides. That's the way i'll end up goin.. maybe.

Now the question is, do you want to drive to the shop or do you want to take a drive getting to the shop?

Are you going? I can meet you at Starbucks near Giant, in Clarksville. 6050 Daybreak Cir, Clarksville, Maryland 21029. There is a big parking lot at Columbia Gym right behind Giant.

By the way, since they already have dynamometer facility, Does anyone be interested in doing?
I don't know how many cars they need need to consider a group dyno.

Doing a dyno that day probably won't be possible. We can look into working it out with LDG and possibly do that a different day.

i'm down for a little run as long as the roads are ok. Since we are gettin some precip today into tomorrow. As long as the roads are dried out.

I will have a friend of mine with me in his MCS. So we would be able to meet you either in Dobbin Ctr or at the Clarksville Giant. Neither is a problem for me.

PM me so we can figure everything out.

OK Columbia contingent! MaxiCooper and I have beat this poor horse to death and have decided on a departure time, place and route. All who pass this way are invited to join us. I attempted to put a route together that will take advantage of some of the more rural and least straight of the roads between here and LDG.

Attached is a pdf of the route we will be traveling.

Our departure will be from the Safeway/McDonalds parking lot on Harpers Farm Rd in Columbia at 10:30 am.

I will be there at about 10:00 to get a cup of coffee (Starbucks).

Be there or be......

I can see my parent's house from there! LOL, they live right down the street from LDG.

Not to beat a dead horse, but Shepard Lane is much more fun a drive than Homewood... But you will have fun no matter what, I am sure.

Damn, that poor horse is really getting an ***-kicking on selecting a route for a 15 minute cruise!

My first choice was actually Tridelphia Mill Rd.....

This is too funny. Only a bunch of MINI drivers would make an outing to a garage into an excursion ... map it out ... turn it into a .pdf file instead of just using the GPS

No, a bunch of engineers would do that too. You should hear some of the odder conversation that go on here at my work.
