 |

Hi,
I checked the events thread and saw no info on this event. Is it taking place this September? I'm also wondering about Transporter Fest in Brookline in October. It's listed in the museum site but I don't find much on the Samba just yet.
My apologies if I'm looking in the wrong place!
Thanks,
-- Patricia

I'm planning to goto Transporterfest this year, I've missed it the last 2 while traveling other places in Oct (Smokey Mtns 2014 & NM/CO Mtns 2015)

I'll be at Transporterfest & camp-out. At this point I kind of doubt that my van will be ready, but I'll be there. Really looking forward to seeing Dan, TimWhy and others.

Still need to get the ABA in. Might be able to install with tranny this weekend, but lots of home stuff to do.
Think I have cooling figured out thanks to TheSamba member from VT.
No clue on exhaust, have a Audi/fox manifold (4 into 2), but no down pipe.
I'll be tapping your brain on electrics.
Anyway, enough derailing this thread. Looking forward to the campout, even if I show up with my Ranger bed full of wood like last year.

Thanks, Ed. I guess I tend to ignore the general forum and focus on the Vanagon one. I'll know better next time.

We came in Saturday afternoon so missed some of the fun, but here ya go:
No lake or river at Walnut Grove but it was a mellow spot!
some sites backed up against open fields
a few others in the woods
The raffle table!!!
The count on Saturday night was 81 busses! There had to have been 200 plus people at Saturday night's pot luck dinner!!!
Thanks Limbo, Vacationland VW Club and everybody else for putting on a great show!!! See you all in Brookline!!!
