    Wednesday bump.

    Not much going on.
    Andrea's ankle is healing as fast as it can.
    I got a new phone.
    Jack is a handful.

    Status quo.

    Looking forward to the GTG on the 12th and SoWo on the 19th.

    Got an 2001.5 B5.5 with tan interior


    Thanks

    It'd be cheaper just to do it yourself. Find a fabric ya like and let us know. I did that to mine...and it wasn't sagging! lol Just dirty and was tired of looking at it.

    Welcome back. Where the hell have you been???

    I can name 3 members of our group who have done their own and you may be able to bribe (with actual money) for one or more of them to help you to remove it, cover it and replace it.
    Just my $.02.

    Come to our next GTG. Info above.

    I will see what I can do bout the g2g, I have been out of doing anything to my car since my last one that I totaled. Been finding other things to spend money () on and trying to get out of the passat into a T-reg.

    My headliner has been like this for bout 2 years but now it's starting to come down all around the edges so I figure it's bout its time.

    Got the latest issue of "eurotuner" (06/12) in the mail last week, started reading it today and found out that THIS IS THE LAST ISSUE.
    They will be online only.

    They may end up combining with European Car but that is down the road.

    Bummer.

    My excuse for not posting.. is tail of the dragon. Had a full weekend of it, we should go as a group sometime! Maybe in the fall, when it's colorful.

    Steve, Michelle, and I got some awesome shots of our cars via the photographers up there. And Herbie was spotlighted on www.us129photos.com again this year. His daughter loves my car. If you check that link out, please vote for my car. If I win, I get a poster sized print of my car.

    Will see you guys at the next gtg. I may have a yellow beetle joining us... gotta contact her again, see if she's able to come.

    Yup ToD was fantastic! Great showing too! Can't wait to do it again. Although I kinda need to fix my caliper issue before I do that again. Speaking of which, anyone have any old/spare rear brake pads for a 2.0 or TDI? Mine is down to nothing at this point and I'm still waiting on my calipers to come back so I can just replace them. SO in the meantime, so my wheel doesn't LOCK UP, I need some old pads that have a little bit of life left just to get me by. Lemme know!
