Default Charleston SC

Hi folks,

I didn't find a recent Charleston specific thread in this sub-forum so I thought I'd start one for all of us who live in the area.

Just got my first Vette ever last Monday: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...hotoshoot.html

I go to C&C in MP every once in a while (with the Z/28 I just traded in) ... I try to make it down there once a month if the weather is nice.

I'm booked for my first ever track day with Hooked On Driving May 22nd at Roebling Rd ... hopefully there'll be some other Vettes there.

I also registered with LMC a while back but I haven't had a chance to attend any of their cruises or meetings, but I'll get around to that when the weather warms up.

That's all I got for now.

I'm in Mt. P. I don't go to Cars and Coffee, though I live across the street. Some of the things I saw with that bunch when they were in the old Coleman Bvd location did not sit with me well. I stopped going and I haven't been to one at the new location.

Roebling is a lot of fun. Did a track day there and a few autocrosses.

What happened? We only moved to MP last February so I'm not aware of any history. I have to say the couple of times I've been they seem like a harmless collection of folks. What sinister demons dwell within?

Both times that I went there was trash left all over the parking lot. Coffee cups and stuff like that. The second time I went they brought in a food truck. I can imagine what Starbucks and Mozzo's thought of that. I mean the C and C already made parking tough for legit customers and on top of that these places have to lose business to a coffee truck? I stopped going after seeing that, but it wasn't long at all until they got kicked out of that location. I haven't been to one since they moved.

What's LMC? I live out in Moncks Corner for now, but will be moving towards Mount Pleasant next year. Never been to a C&C, but plan to hit up Roebling in April and take part in as many auto-x events once they start up here.

Registration for the first autox of the season just opened.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/341778355833755/

You'll also find a registration notice for an autox school on feb 7 and 8. posted to that group.

Yes it's in Savannah, but Savannah is actually closer to us than most South Carolina Region autocrosses.

Hi Derek,

http://www.lowcountrymusclecar.com

Actually the LMC folks usually meet up closer to where you are now.

We should have our own vettes & coffee in MP one of these days … hopefully later in the day cause I hate 8am.

C&C was a lot of fun last Saturday, I wish a few more Vette owners were there. I did meet a gentleman from CCCC and I will probably join the club, although going by the xmas party photos on their website most owners seem to be a few decades older than me.

I also booked a track day with Just Track It at Roebing Rd. March 28. So I will be doing that as well as the May 22nd date with Hooked On Driving. I really hope some of you guys come along.

I can't do anything more than autocross until June. Dr's advice. But I autocross the hell out of it, believe me.

I just got my first vette. It's a white 08 c6 with a black roof. I used to go to C&C all the time with my GTO but I have not been with the vette yet. I live in Mt Pleasant so if anyone ever sees me out and about stop and say Hey. Hope to see some of you at C&C sometime.

Congrats Casper.

I'll see you at the first C&C that doesn't involve a flood.
