career thread?

stadtjunge · 01-27-2014, 06:33 PM

One of the Audi forums I was on had a thread that folks could post what they did for work. It was great for networking and making connections in the area.

Thoughts on creating one here?

Nice, are you going to run the track? I love PGP. Won't be able to join this weekend as I have a birthday party in Tacoma. Let us know next time you venture there.

No prob. I'll put out another post next time I hit the track. My next outing will be The Ridge in March.

We should get a Northwest run up to Mt. Ranier and back. Interested? Anyone else interested in a group run in the mountains?

I'm game for this. Gotta wait until it's nice enough to take the winter rims off though

I've never been to St. Helens - is that worth the trip?

St. Helens only if we go to Portland and kick it with the BMW family there overnight. Then it's worth it

RallyRcrr · 01-29-2014, 10:47 PM

Sure I'm game. A longer trip to Portland would likely be a summer time trip for me. Wife just had twins so we're home bound for a minute.

Wow already ran into two people I know! I doubt I was at your house since I stopped doing sales in September but I'm glad we took care of you, hopefully we will meet up at an event or track day soon, my name is Travis.

Who was your sales person and installer? I will pass along the kind words to them. And if anything ever goes wrong feel free to contact me directly.
