I can't make any promises that I will stick around again... this board
doesn't move like it use to... I left here in 2002 to join
shoptalkforums (maybe i should stop in there and say hi too?) and then
left there for the samba... i leave lots of places and eventually come
back. But this is my home and where it all started so many moons ago!

Hi.

Could not locate your first posting so this comes a tad further down the
line.
Always good to see people posting here.
I sold the -56 Oval I had some three years ago, been stored in a barn for
several years, cost me money and had no where to work/take care of it.

So, Felatio 'Had' to go, what I did not know at the time was how much
these cars were worth, practically gave it away.


I'm probably one of the few these days that checks this group on a daily
basis.

There is much more to be found on the different forums, which I find sad
in a way.


All the best.
P.J. aka. BergRace.

No, what was bad was when there were a bunch of us that use to check
this every minute...

Hay Jan, Jim from Naples Fla, you stayed at my house for the nite when you came to Fla, Do you remember me? Still have my 69 but in Pennsylvania now instead of Fla. Not suprised to see you still on here. I have found my way back after all these years.

P.S. I still have my RAMVA stickers from back then.

There is a reunion going on and nobody told me about it. ) I still
check in from time to time and today just happened to be one of those
times. Good to see some familiar names. This group may not have the
traffic that it once did, but has always been my favorite ACVW group.
Jan I remember the year you stayed online for 24 hours straght during
New Years Eve chat. I saw you pics of Frannie's retoration from your
other post. Glad to see she is being taken care of. Don't have an
ACVW at present. Have been driving my 2007 Honda Element as my daily
driver since March 2010. Had to buy used because they discontinued
the stick shift in 2010, and I did not want the built in navigation
system that they had on the 2009 and later models. It also didn't
hurt that it was lot less expensive than a new one. Not VW, but have
a few pics of the Element if anyone feels like looking:

Good to see you are alive and well Bill.
I still check the group daily, but activity are few and far between here.

No longer a VW for me either, if I buy a new aircooled it will likely be a
Citroen 2CV, no immediate plans though.

Take care.

P.J.

Wow, it really is a meeting of the "old school" - VWGirl, Jan
Andersen, Bill Berkmann, Jim Ed, BergRace et al.

This group was my first foray into VWs on line too - about 15 years
ago; and the web site www.vw-resource.com would not exist today
if it was not for this group - I started answering Qs put by Dave in
the USA when he was rebuilding his son's (now his)
73 superbug. We became good friends (and I finally met him last year
for the first time!) and we had so much stuff
after a year or so of emails back and forth during his rebuild, we
started the web site - which is now a dinosaur in size
- over 400 articles.

Dave in WA USA still has that 73 superbug, and I still have my
original 1970 1500 swing axle bug (plus a 68 and a 57).

Jan - you always gave (and give) great advice. Bill - you had THE
MOST COMPREHENSIVE list of VW links
I have ever seen.

Nice to see lots of the old folks popping in again.
