I plan to be there... swapping from our single cab. LOTS of OG mufflers on hand, many beetle drums, flywheels, engine tins... etc. If anyone is hunting for a complete dual port engine that turns, let me know- I can haul it up there too.
I have always been pleased with the parts and crowds that show up for this one!

I'll be there, as of late morning. Spectating and have a few swap meet items on a short wish list. I'll be wearing a straw "western style" hat.
-edit- vamram- your response came in just as I was typing mine. If I see your Super on the field, I'll text you and meet up. Wishing you a good drive there. Maybe we'll see vwpieces, andk5591, and BIGMIKEY. |

I'll be looking for you, and I was just going to message you! Will you drive the Bug? I'm debating, but thinking of "gasp" driving the beater Kia Rondo instead and making this trip a parts scavenging extravaganza. _________________ Eventually, "we are what we pretend to be.’”

It was a great show, I haven't seen that many cars since the BugOut of 2013 or so. The best for were the parts vendors, I was able to score some gems. Two working thermostats w/good undamaged rods for $10/a piece, a tunnel tray/cup holder for $5, a good rebuildable solex 34/3 for $25, my doors keyed to my ignition for a good price, and some other assorted bits. All in all a very good 300 mile round trip.
Didn't take many pics. Just two actually, here's one. I mean, what am I going to do w/all the pics of other's VDubs? Leave them to my kids??

I'm glad you made it in your Beetle, vamram. Looking at the local weather forecast in the area for myself, it seems it did not rain- you've had enough driving your Beetle in rain this year.
I hope any other Samba members who attended will post a photo or two or at least reply that "they were there". Did you see/meet any others from here?
As I wrote to you via PM and per phone texting, I had a sudden change of plans. Last night after I wrote my post above, I went into my basement to see if I actually had parts stored away so that I could take them off my "swap meet" list. Was shocked to find that my well water tank had sprung a pinhole leak due to age and spot corrosion, spraying a small mist of water out. Some water had already settled on the floor... So with "damage control", moving boxes of VW parts out of the way to make access to the tank and getting a plumber out this morning; I had to call off my travel plans. |

Is there a thread for the 2023 show? I don’t see it in the forum and the Facebook page won’t take comments. _________________ Mike

But also no? Lol?
I see they’re having the show, but there’s no thread for it. _________________ Mike
