Less than a month now. I always consider it the unofficial start to the show season in the Jersey, PA, NY area.

it's probably safe to say that it is the official kickoff of show season in our area!

I think I've seen that car somewhere before...

I hope to see alot of aircooled VWs on the track. I'm trying to get my buddy to bring his buggy from Va to run! 10sec buggy on VP gas, no spray needed!

I'll be there but no Scooby and Shaggy. I won't be hard to spot. I'm coming from Eastern LI but I'm gonna try to make the caravan at the rest stop. Anybody else coming from LI?

Dasvolks from LI doesn't miss Etown. We usualy meet on the SS trooper baracks 6am. Look for us.

Is there any chance this year that we could combine the swap meet sections? and not have a continental divide between aircooled and watercooled swap/vendors? There are a bunch of 'aircooled' vendors that have watercooled parts for sale that get overlooked b/c the swap are in two different spots. we vend at Etown in the aircooled section and love the swap and the show, but i always end up running up to the watercooled area to let my friends know that the parts they've been looking for are actually for sale in the aircooled swap section!

and let's face it, a Mk1 has more in common with a late model bug than it does with a Mk5 or Mk6

just my .02 coming from a vendor, owner and driver of both...

I've got a used monza exhaust system and a new linkage for dual carbs for that T-3, Brian. It will b on sale @ E-town. Also have a set of doors from a 69 Ghia.

Ill be there. This will have a for sale sign

I don't think anyone in CJVWS would have a problem with that, seeing as that's how it always used to be done. I believe the German Squad is the reason for the change.

hey bill,
it looks like those guys aren't sure either
