I know I'm way late on this wagon, but I have been asked a few times on the street if there is a Lubbock VW club, and always get some remark "we should start one"

Hell, let's do it! Anyone in Lubbock or have friends in lubbock? shoot me a PM. We should all meet up somewhere in our VWs once a month or so, just hang out and share stories!

Me and my '73 live in Lubbock as well. The bug is currently at the body shop but I would love to hear about any VW meetings in the area.

Let's take some action folks! I moved to Lubbock from Austin, where I was a member of the Austin Air Coolers VW Gang. The Air Coolers have spawned chapters all over the place, so why not here. It's a very easy format to follow. You folks can check it out at aircoolers.org. Having a local VW community helps a lot. I have given away many good parts in my day, and I have been helped out on parts in my times of need. I'd love to have something like that here in the lubbock area. Meetings usualy start at a park or public parking lot where people talk VWs and otherwise, then the "tour de force" drive with all VWs in line headed to a place where we can have some food and drinks. Let me know if anyone is interested. It's lots of fun.

I'm with you in having a VW club in Lubbock Tx. We had one years back but it seemed like it turned into more of a " happy hour" than a VW fest. I think it would be great to meet once a month to swap stories, advice, and projects from a true VW enthusiast to another. I own a 67 Ghia had it for 23 years and it has only been on the road one years sence I have owned it. It is finally in the body shop. I also just picked up to bugs last year 65 and a 72. I am driving the 65 right now. Email me at [email protected] John
