Thank you! Far from perfect but perfect for making memories.
How long should this challenge continue?

Camping season is long past here! Hunting season is almost done too. Ice fishing is not so far off, just need a few more cold nights.

From that link:
| skapunkfoo wrote: |
The idea is to post a picture of your VW next to whatever the challenge is. First one that completes the challenge and posts the pic then chooses the next challenge. If after a week or so the challenge is not met then a new one will take its place. I'm not on here as much as others, nor am I an admin, so as a group we can figure it out.
|
So, anybody got YVWNT “So a pic camping next to a body of water should perfectly qualify. Get out there and go get it!” ?

Taken from the OP:
"Once a new challenge is up try not to use old photos to complete. Go out there and drive! Not saying you cant use old photos but lets not make it a habit."
Technically Xevin, I think your picture counts, as long as you're not making it a habit! Please include more details about the camping trip, though. How much beer was had, did you eat sausage, and was it a sausage fest? |

Let’s make this simple since many of the participants in this thread start VW hibernation around this time.
YVWNT Something that represents Thanksgiving or Harvest celebrations. If your country has neither you can borrow iconic symbols of other country’s traditions.

I think what he means is the weather is not conducive to enjoying air cooled VW’s. Butthole deep in snow equals VW’s are in the garages.

The challenge is open to all VWs, old, new, aircooled, or water cooled.

Baited two motel mouses with dog food smeared with a little cheese after last night's post.... Wallah!
The old '12 EOS still drives.
No glass, hard top or doors anymore.
I think rodents are animals...
These mice are only tamed with a food source
WIN win mouse din? 
If it's a win the next challenge will have to wait a minute because I'm going back to sleep
