    k, now we are getting somewhere... seen a few MKVs up here, and quite a few mkIV r32s and older GTIs... all @ or around campus...

    Yeah there are a few of us around. I've seen 6 or 7 GLIs in the last 2 weeks around my house. There was an atempt and trying to get a gtg going but I think that has fallen by the wayside and I don't think much is gonna happen over the winter months.

    um... no, i've seen that one, with 18'' Hufs, right? mine has classix, 17''.

    i'm usually parked at home near JPA, @ the E School, behind the Brown Library / Clark Hall... might cruise down at night down Emmet/Ivy (the one that goes through UVA???)...

    parking sucks for real, I'm only half a mile from my building, fortunately.

    hehe, 600 posts


  24. 11-08-2007 04:31 AM #24
    im for the gtg last one no showed

  25. 11-08-2007 09:20 AM #25
    yeah im down for a gtg as well? how many people actually want one?

  26. 11-08-2007 11:26 AM #26
    I do but I am quite busy with work and teaching throughout most of the winter months. It all depends on what night everyone wants if I can make it or not.

  27. 11-08-2007 01:17 PM #27
    youre right. guess we will just have to see what happens in the last game

    I didn't realize that C'ville was starting up a thread.
    Thanks Redstar for the post on the lbc thread!

    I used to waive or throw the V to other dubbers but I always get a confused look fro people.

    You guys have probably seen my black MKII crusing around the campus area. I know there are a few others here but not many. Unfortunately you guys won't get to see The Tank. she will be meeting her new owner tonight in Richmond to drive to missouri.


    glad to meet everyone!

    I'm in the 'ville every now and then. If anything gets set up with the rest of Dead Last, I might be in for the drive up.
    Lo those many dubs: Too many beetles to count, some wabbits (old school and new), and a smattering of Jettas. Had a cup of coffee with a gorgeous B6 wagon. Now featuring a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited Call of Duty Black Ops edition.
