Looks like a great time! I'm sorry I missed it. I'll see you in the Spring, Dave.
For the local folks, mark your calendars:
Details are currently being worked out for a SWAP MEET in early October sponsored by one of our local vendors.
I'll keep this thread updated with details. _________________ Joe T.

Our First Annual Fall Swap Meet was a resounding success. Special thanks to Midtown Automotive for providing the space as well as tours of their facility and the projects they're currently working on.
I got rid of a lot of stuff and, of course, gained a few things...
I think it's a testament to T3 Technique that pretty much everybody was trying to get rid of original sway bars.
We're doing a Microbrews meetup:
Sunday, November 7th.
1:00 PM
Station 26 Brewery

Thanks! I don't do much but it's fun when it comes together.
Of course, please do come. The more the merrier. I'd love to hear more about your trip and your van. _________________ Joe T.

We're having our first meetup of the season on Saturday, March 19th at Dead Hippie Brewing. The owner of the brewery is a fellow Vanagonaut and is excited to host us.
1:00 PM MT
3701 S Santa Fe Dr STE 7, Sheridan, CO 80110
Hope you can make it!
Thanks
(That should give everybody plenty of time to finish their winter upgrades. )

Hi Folks,
Reminder that we're meeting up this Saturday at 1 PM MT at Dead Hippie Brewing.
https://www.deadhippiebrewing.com/
3701 S Santa Fe Dr STE 7, Sheridan, CO 80110
Forecast is partly cloudy and 63 degrees.
And here's a pic of a Syncro that most certainly won't be in attendance, but one of my all-time faves regardless:

We had a great turnout on Saturday; met some new folks, reconnected with old friends, and welcomed a very diverse group of Vanagons (and one Bay Window with a RMW EJ22.)
Thanks Dead Hippie Brewing for hooking us up! We will be back there for sure.
I love the full Monstaliner job on this one:
