    Cool RDU Enthusiasts Meet: Kinston Edition (07/2014)

    I can be reached at (252) 525-0941. In case you are having trouble finding my place or have any questions for tomorrow.

    Alright, so I will be hosting a tech day on July 12th, Saturday. Well, sort of. JLBMX5 (James) will be bringing his car to my place for a clutch job and anyone that would like to make the 90 minute or so journey from the RDU area is welcome. I figure 9am to 11pm (or later, if needed) is plenty of time to do most things. But, like I said, James' clutch is the priority.

    I have 2 lifts, a 4 post drive on (used for the clutch job) and a 2 post. The 2 post will be 1st come 1st serve. There will also be an open flat stall for what ever. I have an air compressor and my fair share of tools and shop equipment (yet not everything), but if you'd like to bring any tools you feel that you need, please do. If you're wondering if you'll need to bring your own this or that, ask.

    We're likely going to get some pizza from one of the national chains if people actually show up.

    So, where exactly is this going to be?

    305 Darden Drive, Kinston, NC 28504.


    The shop is behind my house, way in the back. It has red awnings and is easy to spot. Just drive around the fence on the right (looking from the road) to get back there to it. You'll know you're on the right side from the 7 1/2MPH speed limit sign. It's a gravel entrance with a grass path that is mostly smooth, but it does have some small bumps. I'll have my car parked out front, black NA with matching HT, silver Chaparral wheels, and low pro headlights.

    I suggest taking I40E to HWY70E and following that all the way to Kinston. For more detailed directions, google maps. If you need help finding the place, PM me or get on the groupme app.

    I think that covers everything. If not, let me know or ask.

    P.S.

    This will be the 2nd Saturday of the month, which means the local cruise-in will also being going on at about 4pm (maybe later). It's mostly a bunch of American cars, 40's and 50's classics and 60's and 70's muscle cars. But it's a completely laxed thing, much like Cars and Coffee. Friendly people that don't really mind what shows up as long as no one is being an ass.

    So, if we're all wrapped up by then there's that to go check out. Some nice cars to be seen. People take classics and muscle cars seriously around here.

    Update on the cruise-in.

    It has moved from the gas station I mentioned to the Dairy Bar next to the Neuse Sports Shop. This is even closer to my place, only about a mile. The address of it is as follows,

    225 E New Bern Rd, Kinston, NC 28504

    It runs from 1pm-5pm.

    I will need to check on that. The place that they have been having it closed (a gas station with a small parking lot). I don't know if they'll have it in the same place or not. But if they do, it's only a couple miles from my place (no more than 5).

    Here is info on the cruise-in. http://www.blacktoprebels.com/events...t.eventId=2963

    I have emailed asking about the location. If I don't hear from them in a day or two, I'll make some calls.

    I still have to see if I will be able to make it over for this. I definitely want to but I have to get a few things squared away before MATG.
