Just bought a 07 Lemans blue coupe and was wondering if anyone in the Fredericksburg, Va area hangs out or goes on cruises. I know im probably a few years younger than most but would love to hang out talk about cars and maybe grab a few drinks

 

Congrats on the purchase. I have mine a little over a month. I am in Alexandria. I haven't had the opportunity to make it yet, but there is a group that meets up here, I am guessinbg monthly(Only been on this foru for a month so I don't know)

I think I also saw a post from someone in Fredericksburg wanting to start a club there, but I'm not sure.

 

If ya wanna drive over to Hampton there is a bunch of us around here

 

I live in the 'Burg and there are a number of others spread out between Stafford, Spotsy, Mineral and other localities...

There's is not much of an organized group down here right now... and we need to change that.

Was that you driving Rt 1 North and then turning onto Rt 17 South this weekend?

 

Although we're about an hour away form ya, check out threads with -=-=-=NoVa "Month" Event=-=-=- for monthly gatherings.

Also, Aquia Creek Corvette Club shouldn't be too far away from you if you're looking at clubs...

 

Fredericksburg here as well. I agree we do need a club for this area. I see a lot of Vettes around town. I am also a member of the Corvette Club of Richmond.

 

I'll have to go up to nova and down to the 757 sometime, i used to back a few years ago. And yes that was me on rt.1 nice clean vette, when i picked up mine my dad wanted me to get the chrome wheels, looks great.

 

Very nice car you have there if I say so myself...

Yours is the fourth LMB C6 I have seen around the 'Burg...We have to start getting all the Vette owners in the area together on Sunday mornings and then go have breakfast somewhere...

 

Yea i would def. be up for that

 

Once again, there is one...

I am not a member, but they 'serve' the F'burg area.

 

I'm in Gloucester...it's only 96 miles...

 

We have a member living in F'burg...........she comes up to the Winchester area for our meetings ........she says she doesn't mind the distance because it gives her more "drivetime" in the car, and we are a fun group!
She's got a Black Z06........

 

That would be cpacifico, right? If so, she can drive the s**t outta that Z for sure...ask me how I know...

 

There were several witnesses.............

 

And some mention of "eating her young" after someone dropped a motor mount bolt out of the bottom of their '72 roadster while she was behind them...

 

Speaking of broken bolt boy, tell him I said hi and will see him at Jack Evans on May 12. And also to be thinking about planning a repeat cruise to the water. P.S. If memory serves, his is a 68.

 

That's Cheryl! She's not afraid of the gas pedal! We went down to Asheville, and I can tell you speeds over 80 didn't faze her!
Do tell the story about how you know.............

 

I will tell when I see him and another cruise to the water would be cool... although we have to stop someplace different for eats...

What is Jack Evans?

Once upon a time, there was a sunny Sunday morning in Virginia. In a parking lot, a collection of four (is four enough to qualify as a collection?) of America's greatest sportscar, the Chevrolet Corvette gathered in preparation for a cruise.
In this gathering were a red '68 with a 383 stroker with sidepipes belonging to "broken bolt boy" herein after to be referred to as "B3", a '71 LT1 with a 383 stroker, Canfields, Flowmasters and Hookers belonging to commando57, an '05 coupe (yours truly) and Cheryl's Z.

The cruise started out innocently enough with B3 in his '68 leading the way followed by Cheryl in her Z, then me and Tom in his '71; just a leisurely drive through the Virginia countryside towards Port Royal with our ultimate destination being Colonial Beach.

Speeds were within an acceptable range. All of a sudden, Cheryl starts to disappear over the horizon because B3 decided it was time to stretch his legs on a deserted section with good visibility.

As I was hurriedly trying to keep Cheryl in sight, what to my wondering eyes does appear, "something" comes bouncing out from underneath Cheryl's Z directly towards me....

Fortunately, I was being left far enough behind (dahmn but can that Z haul a$$) that what turned out to be one of the motor mount bolts from B3’s red '68 had stopped bouncing around and was now doing a low tumble/slide down the road and although it knocked into something underneath, it did so without any damage.

Luckily there was also no damage to Cheryl’s Z or Tom’s ’71 and we stopped at a roadside eatery for lunch before heading off to Colonial Beach. When we arrived, we found there was a car show going on so we stopped and walked around. After parking, we watched as everyone gathered around Cheryl’s Z to look at it.

It was a great day despite the broken bolt.

 

Jack Evans is the staging area for the world famous Skyline Drive cruise!

 

Then I will see you both there...
