Default I miss this place

I am still around, but now VWs at the moment. Not aircooled, but have owned a 07 Honda Element for the last 8 years. I have gotten back into bicycling and camping and the use the Element as a camper and bike hauler. Do miss the glory days of Ramva around the time of Y2K. It was a great group of ACVW enthusiast at the time and may never be repeated or replicated on the web based forums. Anyone remember the New Years Eve 24 hour VW chat. I think that Jan Andersson acutally stayed active in the chat room for all 24 hours one year.

I remember this group close to 20 years ago... I sold a few cars here to ANT and caused a little mayhem myself. I find that some of these old groups still have people getting messages. I am trying to track down ANT the Menace - I sold him 2 cars and 1 I would like to see if I can find... It's. a chopped 64 convertible with a removable hard/soft top.

If anyone knows of Ant's whereabouts or the 64' I would love to know...

There isn't much going on anymore. I have gone from a '63 daily driver to having a '64 garage queen. A quick weekend swap of a turnkey rebuild of the original motor has turned into a month and a half of (oh, that tin is missing, the generator has rotting wire insulation, wait - the heat risers are perforated, is that transmission oil leading, Where are the studs for the engine to transmission mounting, etc.
Funny too how what was easy 30 years ago is a lot harder to manage now (without assistance).

Randomly remembered this group while talking about the old days.

I don't even remember what my user name was. I remember being here for hours and hours each day though!
