I'll plan to be there. I'm kinda new here - I met up with the group a couple of years ago at Cannonball, but my van was in pieces then. Recently finished & on the road.

Great, we look forward to seeing you there. We'll be sitting outside at one of the picnic tables. Look for my daughter's flaming red hair and her husky, Hudson.

Thanks everyone for making this fellow from Maryland feel
so welcomed. And there were awesome buses here. Beautiful builds I’d love to see more of here on the samba.

Dang it!
I spent most of the morning at an emergency vet dealing with a silly dog issue.(she's fine by the way)

My van is not yet fully operational but I really wanted to stop by and finally meet some local van peeps.

Maybe next time.

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.

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. Smile

Hope you can make it!

Thanks

(That should give everybody plenty of time to finish their winter upgrades. Smile )

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.
