I'm in. This will be a great incentive to finish my car for her inaugural trip and public unveiling. I had to put the restoration on hold because of my wife's battle with cancer. Our hopes were to bring her and her first car to a show. Sadly, she lost her battle last week and has gone home to be with our Savior. My promise to her and myself in her honor, is to finish the car and complete our plans to go to these events.

I am very sorry for your loss! That is a great way to honor, and remember. Best wishes

Just remember all the Good Times you had together. She will be looking down on you remember that and make Her proud.

Very sorry for your lost. I had the pleasure of restoring a Thing for a couple that the wife of 34 years thought she would not see the car done. The car came to my house and she asked if I could get a glove box door done for her husband thanking him for all the years. Instead both husband and wife were surprised on Christmas day by a newly painted car. I was sent pictures of her in tears with joy. Best Christmas gift I received. She passed a few months later. The car lives in Middletown Ohio.

Thanks to all for your kind words. I look forward to meeting everyone at the event

Another location we might think about is Featherly Park. Right on the Orange County/Riverside County border it is fairly central to all of Southern California. I went to the Orange Empire Bus Club (OEBC) show there earlier this year. The location was very VW friendly and the shade was nice. Cool

Another option for a great photo shoot and maybe a show is the West coast version of the 2006 Kubel Treffen. On the West end of Route 66 are the Wigwam Village Motels in Rialto Ca. The neighborhood is so-so, but they are tee-pees!

Another option to consider, if we plan the event in April is the Pomona show & swap is Sunday the 19th. If this is a whole weekend event (Friday evening, Saturday & Sunday) maybe we could meet up in the VW section at Pomona on Sunday morning?

or set something up at the NHRA Museum (also at the Pomona Fairplex) to meet and maybe display a few Things. Wink

Thanks, Jim. Great ideas. We are looking at locations near the Beach. I like the camp grounds, but agree with Ron, the location needs to have a hotel. Going to Pomona Swap would be fantastic. Because of the time, I hope we can get everything together by April. but we may need more time to plan. More info to come soon... Thanks everyone!

Over the years we have welcomed parts vendors but there are very few that sell Thing only parts. In the past if you had a large amount of parts we sold you a spot. If you had a couple parts it was OK to put them by your car. The vendors that has came and only had regular VW parts didn't do well at all because what they had to sell were the common parts that fit Beetles that we can get anywhere. Lets see what Eric wants to do.

Hey .... how about Kubel Treffen "Way" West ..... I'm sure Matson would offer a group discount. You did want to be near a beach. We're surrounded by beaches! Laughing

Anyone of our members have a cargo plane in their stable?
I'd be in, if I could fly along with Our Thing to the islands!

Shoot, I might get eyes on that elusive yellow Subi swap Thing, finally! The owner either doesn't know much about it(bought it), or is just So important, he can't share more pics/info for others.... Rolling Eyes

[/quote] You talking about this one Joe?

Not that one... This one has chrome Drag star wheels, Real Fat rears to handle the Subi power.. Might sit a tad lower too... And pretty sure it's a soft top(black)

That one you posted looks to be Vw powered still.

I'll keep an eye out for it. Haven't met anyone yet with that

Bring the show to Vegas!

Ron Domeck · Posted: Thu Jan 15, 2015 6:23 am Post subject:

RHD, are you ready to host a show? That would be great.

mcmscott · Posted: Fri Jan 16, 2015 8:11 am Post subject:

Not that I have a dog in this, but there are alot of good shows in April in Cali. The spring fling in Madera is and has been a favorite of mine for some time now. We usually get a large in flux from socal and norcal at this one. 300 plus cars. For a good turnout, not conflicting with other dates is a good idea.
