Just wanted to drop in and say hi... I know a few of you are still out
there from a long time ago. I checked and it's been right at 10 years
since I used RAMVA, so thought I was long overdue for a hello!

Hello. Do you currently have an air cooled VW?

I've been monitoring this group for years, though I'm pretty sure not ten
years. Mostly nostalgia reasons. I haven't owned an air cooled VW in
decades.

I still have mostly what I had then... and then a lot more. Just
bought a 64 notch, also have a 78 westy, 98 beetle (aircooled), 73
thing and 71 fastback... among others. still have my mk1 watercooleds,
but don't think i'd know anyone on RAMVW if i dropped in there.

You're light years ahead of me. I got a garage with some watercooled
motor parts. My Goldwing has aircooled valve springs in the front forks.
And i have a friend with a 67 bug.

I still occasionally drive my '65 but since the star adjuster "hold
down"s are broken off the brakes loosen up after a few days of driving
it. Have to re-adjust them. I got replacement locking bars but to
install them requires a seemingly impossible amount of bending of the
metal that holds them down and pounding it back.
My '64 is still in work.

My only VW now is an '87 16V Scirocco. Well, two of them but the second one
is a parts source for the first one.

I owned three Beetles, at various times, back in the day. And inherited a
camper bus from my brother ten or so years back, but sold that off to
someone who restored it. I didn't really have any use for it or anywhere to
keep it and it needed the attention.

It's good to have you back aboard.

I still have may '73 Beetle that I got in October '94.

I've been into aircooled VWs for twenty years now.

Correction that should read,
I still have my '73 Beetle that I got in October '94.
