in the past couple years, i can't recall a day i'm been out on the road and didn't see a Lightning. Even in the winter. They are more common then alot of rare vehicles. I see way more L's then zo6, c6, vettes, those ssr chevy pickup things. Even more than those stupid dodge bumble bees.

I get alot of people stopping at my store asking me about mods. Somehow word got out that I am some kinda guru or something. I just hand them Jim, Sal and Johnnies phone numbers and say here, don't blame me if you blow it up.......hehehehe.

 

I'm half way across MA with a silver 01, there is a red one in town as well which shows up at the Wallace Civic Center shows. Littleton has a silver 01 and he has been on the boards. Otherwise see one here and there...

 

Hey guys.... im REALLY in western MA, Berkshire County, Pittsfield to be exact. I have a silver 01 and a wrecked 00 (also silver) last i knew there was a DSG L somewhere in the berkshires other than him, I think I am the only one way out here. Right now the 01 is off the road with tranny problems and im hoping to get a built tranny in this spring... we'll see. It's nice being about 20 min away from Lebanon valley too. I dont post on here too often but I read the boards every few days. It is funny how people think Springfield is western MA when thers still an hour or so left on the pike till the NY border

 

So I'm not really in western MA.? Now I'm confused. Where are the dividing lines for eastern, central and western MA.? You are correct though cyrsvt00, you are deffinitly in western MA. It must be nice to be that close to Lebanon. I think it takes me about an hour twenty minuets to get to there. That's taking I91 near the CT line to the MA. pike in West Springfield.

My girl has a brother in Pittsfield. We go out there every so often. He's up by Springside Park (rt.7 and rt 9). We try to make it up to hike Greylock at least once a year. I've also worked at fast food resuraunts on Housatonic and over by GE in a dead shopping plaza. We do work at the plazas on the pike so I get up to Lee every so often. I can't take the L when I'm working. I am in a 5.4 Triton powered van though.

 

now that is out there
i used to have to cut thru there everynight for work (truck driver) to shoot down to Canann CT and then all the way back to Millis Ma with dry bulk (bulk limestone)
some cool looking towns out there and when the weather is nice there are some wicked hot chicks roaming around
to bad it is way to far out in the woods for me to want to live

 

yeah im way out here... people give me confused looks when i refer to springfield as central MA but to me it is.... it is very nice having Lebanon 20min away and if u head down south Lime Rock is less than an hour away. Maybe sometime this year we can all head to Lebanon, just have to get my L up and running again....

Wittom when your up in Pittsfield with the L sometime let me know... the only good thing about being way out here is there sure are some good out of the way roads to cruise on.... just have to watch out for all the tourists in the summer or the folks in the fall cruising at 25 watching all the leaves, that drives me nuts

Lightning Mike, maybe its just cause I've lived here my whole life and I see all the same girls all the time... but ill take your word on the girls here.. u must have good judgment you own a L right??

I will do that. It won't be untill the snow is gone. I took the L out this past weekend because the snow melted and the heavy rain we had washed away the road salt. Well, with the fresh snow we got today, it's looks like it'll be a while before I take her out again. Come spring time my girl and I will be itching for a good hike so there is a good chance we'll be up that way.

 

there has to be a college out there or something

 

Wittom-- sounds good I have to get my L up and running too it has been too long since i have had fun with her

LightninMike-- theres a couple colleges in the berkshires none too big, I work up in North Adams, willams college is right there so that is nice

 

Our wonderful state government in some departments considers anything Worcester County to NYS as W.Mass...fyi
