I will be going to the cruise at mcdonalds on hastings tonight at around 9:45 so if you guys want to come out it would cool later

[zwiefe]

Hmmmm Soo tempting! But I have to open Tomorrow morning or else I would.

[inertpyro]

Looks like its going to be rainy and crapy, i might still drive by for the hell of it, but i doubt anyone will be there.

Also does any one know of someone who would want to get rid of a Vw Bus? Preferably in the 70's era. I found about 5 on craigs list but most are pretty far a way to just go and look at. One was pretty cool and has a 1.8l water cooled engine in it, not running though.

First "Great pic".

Second. Naw not me...I saw you (inertpyro)online about 8:30 or so, but the only thing I did last night was work on the 86....I hate CIS....It ran most of the winter and then died....however I have never checked the gas.

Oh btw "....." for me means a run-on thoought.

[Clean PG]

inert where did you get your boser work done? also those wheels look great, especially all that lip in the rear. i could set my drank on that!

[inertpyro]

Well better yet cuz their is someone else with a red mkII jetta in town lol If they are local atleast.

[Clean PG]

any of you guys own a dslr? im growing more and more sick of using a damn 4mp point and shoot

oh well, for sh*ts:

[Frogbutter]

Nice Jetta! Whats the color?
Camera, 8.2mp point and shoot Kodak.

[Clean PG]

[inertpyro]

Oh and a classic baller shot lol

[Clean PG]

well my hood is all beat to crap from commuting to school for the past 2 years, so if youre up for welding one on my hood let me know, i got a paint guy who already wants to respray it for me and he'll do it for cheap. how much would you charge? did you buy the speedtech extension and weld it on?

and i raise you.....

[inertpyro]

lol thats awesome. yeah its a speed tech. I might be up for it. I just got some new thiner wire for my welder. Just let me know when you know more.

No posts on the GTG so here is what I have come up with.

Memorial Day GTG

"Clear Water Dubs GTG"
Monday May 25th. 1pm
Mt Simon Park - Eau Claire; lake level at the disc golf course area.
(bring a Frisbee or disc's) also there are grills in the park to use so bring some brats or dogs. This is a "Dutch Event"(bring your own food and drink). I have the Graduation party Saturday night if I am bringing leftovers I will post what I can bring.
I have never been to Mt. Simon Park and have not played disc golf in years but it sounds like fun.

I played abit last year, but that was only in Chippewa. Sounds like a pretty good plan, i can probably get a bunch of chips and some hot dogs and buns.

[Frogbutter]

Should I post an invite to the Midwest forum?

[Clean PG]

i was just mentioning to my girl how i had no plans for memorial day that i know of. i will definitely see how my monday is looking come this weekend and try to make it out there. so put me down for a 'maybe'

That might be a good idea, id probably put in a disclamer that it is a local GTG nothing huge. Id hate to have some one drive a distance to just meet 5-10 people.

The list of people so far:
Frogbutter
Inertpyro
Zwiefe
Clarkson
Clean PG (Maybe ATM)

Also food:
Hotdog supplies & chips (Inertpyro/Zwiefe)
Grad party left overs (Frogbutter)
Who's bringing steaks?

For disks i maybe be able to get a few for people who dont have any, just as long as they dont get lost, i only have one my self.

You might have to bring your own drinks, unless we can find some people with coolers.

Lets just hope on some nice weather, other wise it may have to be a parking garage GTG again lol.

[clarkson]

ok well im in and if all else fails and we do end up in the parking ramp i think i can get a small grill so we can still grill. amd i wi;; see waht i can grab for food not sure yet... hopefully i will have a job by then...

so ill see you guys there... as for the midwest forum i agree with henry make sure they know its local

[Frogbutter]

Link to midwest forums http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4395974

[clarkson]

my grad party is the 24th so i can also bring what i can from that

[clarkson]

hopefully i can find a hood and paint before the 25th it would be alot nicer

[Clean PG]

bad news: cant come

im working at 4pm and as much as id like to get rid of the shift its probably more worthwhile to get the holiday pay, sorry. i promise ill be there for the big cvvc show though on the 20th of june i believe it is

[inertpyro]

That sucks, but it is holiday pay.

I might have a nether car to bring out.... lol

its a 71 camper van, outside it pretty rough but it would be a nice winter project.
Im trying to get a hold of the owner, its been sitting for over 2 years now. If not i found a few more, not as local though.

[Frogbutter]

[QUOTE=Clean PG]bad news: cant come QUOTE]
Thats ok, I hope there will be plenty more.

[clarkson]

there will be more.... dont worry bout it... hey how do you get a hood from whitewater wi with a mk3 jetta

[inertpyro]

put it on in whitewater and leave the old one in a ditch lol. But seriously im not sure, you could maybe tie it to the roof, thats about my only idea, unless you know some one with a truck or maybe large suv

[clarkson]

i actually thought about dropping it down there but i think im going to keep it....

This GTG is Rain or Shine! Dubs don't melt and neither do I.
I know I am a lot older then you guys but I learned long ago...."Just Do It".
I missed a lot of things in the past because of maybe, possibly, could be, only to find out everybody else went and the weather was fine.

[2slowgolf3]
