Let's bring this shit back to life!!

I met with John(Bugula) and his wife a few weeks back. We had a good time hanging out. Where are all the Upper East Coast people at?

Let's get together and hang out!

I did this a couple of times while I was in Riverside, California. Had 2 or 3 VolkRodders show up and some other friends.. I can't host because I live in a townhouse community with a bullshit HOA now, but I'm totally down to drive a bit to hang out with you all!

Is there any interest?

I'm thinking of doing a Cars and Coffee meet next. Maybe on Sunday mornings.
This Thursday night I'm taking the bug over hat with Harford Euros at Dunkin Donuts in Churchville.

haha ok, so there'll be 3 of us...

I was hoping to get enough interest to justify going and getting a block of hotel rooms so no one has to drive the entire way to get to all the rest.. figure if we plan it right (probably for next spring time..) check in friday night, go to a car show or meet or something saturday, have dinner an hangout or barbecue in the hotel parking lot or some shit, then check out and head home sunday..

That does sound cool. I have to keep driving my bug to test it’s dependabilaty.
I grabbed a handful of 2nd gear for ya, when leaving the lot.

haha yeah, thought I heard that :P

I really wanna punch it on a wet road and see what kinda wheel spinning I can do, but not until i fix my broken front trans mount and install a mid mount..

also, I've been driving it daily for like 2 weeks now with my alternator pulley rubbing on my alternator.. I ordered a fancy new pulley, so I don't wanna take anything apart until that shows up..

I'm hoping it just needs shim adjustments and my alternator shaft isn't bent (it looks like it rubs more in the 1-3 o'clock positions than anywhere else :( )
