    I just moved here from PA almost two weeks ago for a job at Ricambi. Prior to coming here had a complete overhaul on my car and somewhere in the middle and bigger turbo later my car got A LOT faster (original turbo blew and now am at 346hp/347tq @21psi). I have yet to find any fun curvy roads to take the car on that are not 45mph and was wondering if anyone could recommend some in the surrounding areas of Winston Salem? Thanks :)

    Uh, you not on speaking terms with the boss? Daniel is who I asked when I moved here, but try this out:

    8 North
    58 North in Virginia
    Squirrel Spur Road (just awesome)
    Blue Ridge Parkway West
    52 south back to WS

    Enjoy!

    Just got an Evora, so if you want to take a run, send me a PM, but I have to work the next 6 weeks straight.

    US 52 north to Germantown Road (NC 8)

    Take NC 8 North to NC 8/89 North toward Hanging Rock St. Park

    Stay LEFT on 89, merging onto 268.

    Get Lost. Hold On.

    I live up 52 in mount airy and I can show you some awsome roads here in the foothills and mtns nearby, and yes I can show you squirrel spur, not as fun as it use to be before reconstruction but still really fun!

    I almost think we need to organize a nice little group drive one of these weekends. There seems to be a number of triangle area NC people getting the itch...

    I would be up for a drive if anyone is interested :) I need a nice day such as today to warm the tires up and curvy roads. My only excitement comes from getting off the on ramps in the morning which allows me to get into a whopping 10lbs of boost :/

    I'll be at work tomorrow unfortunately...have fun!

    My car is actually headed into FCI on Tuesday for the yearly plus a few things. Hopefully I'll have it back by Cars and Coffee in March. If that happens and the weather is nice that day could be good.

    Once Casey gets his put back together we'll organize something for anyone who wants to come...

    Got back awhile ago and drove fr about an hour datalogging my car and fell in love with the roads. With sharp turns, apexes and everything. Got some good video which I will upload later. RT66 is my new favorite road :)

    I get internet at the apartment on Tuesday but will be taking my laptop into work and uploading it there. It is nothing fancy. I did make the mistake of not taking to account that went I set the damping for my coilovers to 4F/0R it would make the camera shake like crazy. Oh well.

    Going for a drive tomorrow with a friend. We are meeting at Dickie's barbecue at Hanes Mall x Jones Town Rd at noon, plan to get a little lunch, then take a drive. If anyone is interested, come on.

    Just moved from Baltimore, Maryland to Winston-Salem to go to school at Wake Forest. I brought my 04 GTI with me. I'm going to look up where some of the places are that you guys recommended. I'll probably go for a drive tomorrow afternoon, but in the future, would anyone be interested in going for a casual drive around some fun roads?
