| Great destination. I'll be there...and believe it will include my whole family of 10. If that helps toward the 150 count.. so be it. |

Jill and I will be there with Sophy, the Sled and her T34 Ghia....assuming we find the right one between now and then.
BTW, in case you missed it in the 2010 Invasion thread, this is the preliminary sketch for the 2012 Shirts....

Likely since air-cooled VW events during July and August is pretty dumb* for both car and driver. Too damn hot!
*Just my opinion.

OK!!! This one I can do. Thank GOODNESS!!! I will probably be bringing two type 3's (me in one and the future Mrs. Jimmynotch in the other). I might even have my step daughter in a type 3 bodied go cart by that time.

Excellent choice on the location.
Lots of photo opportunities, and the attractions in the area (Seven Falls, Cliff Dwellings, Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, etc.) are amazing.
I'll really try to make it to this one, moreso than I really tried to make it to past Invasions.

I'll be there for sure! I lived in Manitou for 1.5 yrs, and in Colorado Springs proper for an additional 10.5 yrs. I now live about 45 minutes from Manitou. If anyone needs help with places to stay, events, attractions, etc., feel free to PM me.........

It'll be the FIRST. I was thinking about getting the T-34 ready to go, but I might take Krusty instead, since he's an Invader.  It have to admit, it's pretty cool that that car has gone to 3 Invasions, and came back from them as well. Only minor issues this time around, and nothing to speak of at the other 2 Invasions. Plus, I like how that car rides, and just WANTS to cruize swallowing up those highway miles like nothing. When you put 16.5 hours almost non stop on a car, it tells you something. Plus it gives me time to fix some of the body work I'm not really happy with.

Speaking from experience from when I am down at sea level, bring a variety of jets to play with. Manitou sits at around 6,500 feet.
