mentis Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Hello again! I will be moving to NC in about two weeks. It's going to be a long and arduous drive which I am not exactly looking forward to, but it's gotta be done. We'll be heading out around October 3rd I think, and we are taking two cars. My wagon and my wifes little old dodge colt. Due to the age of her vehicle, and the fact that I'll be heavily burdened with lots of stuff, we'll be going probably no more than 65 the whole way there. I can only hope I don't encounter and surprise mechanical failures. I expect it should take about 6 days, maybe a little less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carljwnc Posted September 19, 2004 Author Share Posted September 19, 2004 Sweet, hope that your trip goes well. Your headed to Chapel Hill, right? When you feel like visiting the mountains let me know. Unfortunatly your going too miss our little meet in Pisgah NF by a week, but we're doing it again in May.

mentis Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Hurray! We've moved and my comp is all set up. Formerly a Montana subie driver (started here), we are now living in Chapel Hill, NC. Is anyone else on the forum from that area? Would be good to meet someone, as we have only been here 2.5 weeks and don't know anyone yet! In any case, we love the town and are happy about the move. Much nicer that Billings, MT, that's for sure . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mentis Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hey, you guys know of any good Subaru mechanics in this area? There are a few here in Chapel Hill that work on imports, so I'm going to check them out. I have to admit though, I don't see nearly as many Subarus here as I did in Montana.

WJM Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Jimmy Higgins in Salisbury is the best guy I know in NC. 1-704-647-9590 is the number IIRC. There's a suby get together this sat at Folger SUBARU in charlotte around noon time if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentis Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Well, I suppose Salisbury isn't all too far from Chapel Hill, but it's not all that close either. However, I will certainly keep that name and number in my book for future reference. If there are other shops that are decent and closer, even if they do not specialize in subies, I'd certainly welcome the information. Thanks!

the goat Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 mentis, i take my soob to a guy here in wake forest who specializes in imports. he has done a few things with my soob and he is honest (very important) and doesn't fix more than he needs to. let me know and i will track down his number.

mentis Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I'll keep that in mind too. But right now, I'm still trying to find info on the mechanics in Chapel Hill. Just because, if something's going wrong, I don't want to have to drive more than a few miles, in case things go completely wrong . Thanks though!

carljwnc Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 I don't get to check in here nearly often enough, too much work, kids, ect... Mentis, welcome to the great state of NC, glad that you made it to Chapel Hill without incident, wish I could help you out with a mech. there. I'll try to do some digging and see if I can help you out. Of course, there are a few good ones here in the mountains, but more than a few miles away. I will be hosting another WNC soob meet May 7th and perhaps 8th, in Pisgah National Forest, I will post more as the time gets closer.
