Last yr. we were at the McDonalds at the 13/40 split in New Castle waiting for more cars to join in for the cruise and u guys passed us like a bolt of lightening! ;) Maybe this yr we can caravan down with at least 10-20 cars <>?

Ramone.
Cool hope you did the Bobble Head driver thing we spoke about, that would look really different and really $61$. Can we see a pic.
As for meeting in Del I'm ok with that but I may decide to trailer and wouldn't want to slow the "Bolt-of-lighting" Society down.
Jay vwlogo
with us.I'M GOING!!!! Meeting up again sounds good to me and we'll make sure we don't pass ya buy this time. It's a great cruise to Dover. We'll go down RT-13 again, that is a nice drive. We take our time Jay and you can trailer :icon_queen: with us.
As usual I need details, what time do we meet up, how long to get there. what time will we leave the show. As long as I can can follow some one home who will get me to the Black or White Horse Pike will feel comfortable. Todays run was a real big confidence builder for me. :icon_cheers:

As long as I can can follow some one home who will get me to the Black or White Horse Pike will feel comfortable. We all cruise back together
Todays run was a real big confidence builder for me. :icon_cheers: We would have more member go on the longer cruises if they would get the confidence that their cars are up to it. It was the madin long hall for Love Bus also and it performed GREAT. I could even keep up with Michelle. ;D

I'm going. T1

Looking forward to it. This will be the first long run for Grunliebling. I'll be sure to fill her up and check the tires before I leave home and keep my AAA card handy. I'm not too thrilled about driving at night so I will be leaving Dover long before dark.
Hey Jack, that POS bus really moves out, looks good cruising, and sounds good too.
party pooper. so i guess ill have to follow you home? or can i claim your trophies and white out your name and put mine? :evil:
Trophies? You wont have enough room in your car for all of my trophies. LOL LOL LOL
id put them on the roof with all the goodies i purchased.
good thinkin I new you got that roof rack for something.
Jim, there is enough daylight to stay and cruise back with us, we were home before dark last year.
CARAVAN TO DOVER VW SHOW Jt3 gl6 OR :icon_sunny:
We will leave the ACME parking lot in Clayton (RT-47 & Clayton Ave) at 7AM sharp continue to RT-40 continue to RT-13 in DE. SEE MAP
]MAP TO CLAYTON (http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?q1=Acme%2C+RT+47+%26+W+Clayton+Ave.+Clayton%2C+NJ+08312&ds=n&name=&desc=&lat=39.655140&Lon=-75.091009&mlt=39.655140&mln=-75.091009&zoomin=yes&BFKey=&resize=l&trf=0&mag=3)
We hope that you can join us for the caravan to Dover.
We should be getting to DE where RT 13 /40 split is around 7:45-7:50 am. and continue down RT-13 to dover.
I think we have to get on RT-1 for a short distance and then get back on RT-13. Its a nice cruise and not much traffic on RT-13 anymore. We go as fast as the slowest car, around 50-55 MPH. If we have to stop to help anyone there is room to do so, not like RT-1 where the average speed is 65-70 MPH.
I hope I can make it,
Now that my main project is just about over, I now have to start on a promised project for my wife, for the pool
(http://www.sjvwc.net/coppermine/albums/userpics/middleheater.jpg)
Really, a wood burning pool heater to extend the swimming season....how do I get into these things.
At least it will test my welding skills 888
Got all the metal ordered at the cheap metal place Jack told me about - THanks!
My main project started as this....................got the rusty one in the back
(http://www.sjvwc.net/coppermine/albums/userpics/bourse2rustysidecar.jpg)
Then made it into .........................
(http://www.sjvwc.net/coppermine/albums/userpics/ratrod_side_car.JPG)
Rat rod side car..... I should be welding it to Jacks' rat rod late some night this week.
Figure I can get into the shows at at least half price! did it - cause I am sooooo cheap.
next project.......................
for a side car, will model it after this.............
(http://www.sjvwc.net/coppermine/albums/userpics/bus_side_car.jpg)
I wish!
Still if my wife will let me put off the wood burning project a bit, I will be able to make it!

Hey That's kind of one of those Oxy-moron-thing-a-ma-gigs isn't it? Most of us think wood stoves and we think winter, not swimming. Cool idea does it also double as a BBQ Grill? Maybe wifey has somethig up her sleave for winter. A sunna maybe? Now that side car I'm really digging. Wish I never sold mine. :wallbash:
Hope you can attend. Jay

Sorry all but I'm gonna wimp out on this one :icon_pale: The Righteous Rat flamebug** is up to the task but it's just too long a day & too much wheel time for me ^^^
Wimpe, wimpe wimp. :rolleyes: poor baby can't take the ride, do ya think we should buy him a wheelchair now? 777
I even offered him to ride in my bug do to the show which he turned down. I told my bug that it was nothing personal. ;D
I'm all ready, washed, polished and fluids full. New oil pressure switch, thanks Jack.

Didn't see you at lots of events either, what are you saving it for ?? old age?? or is the old 36hp just not fast enough to keep up with the Big Cars ?? kickButt
<---- is actually going to make his car dirty for the show... if that's even possible. I'm going to rub some oil or get the tires wet and go to town on a dirt road by my house. I know there are cars that are in even more beater shape but it's worth a shot. ;D
I now have a cigarette lighter to power my GPS and Pump up Yucells tires. Please tell me that you bought a new set.
*promises to fill tank before pushing of this time*

Do we have a Car Count yet of who's attending? Hey Jack, what route 13 we taking? Like thers only about a skillion route 13's in De, besides that isn't 13 an unlucky number, hell elevators don't even have a 13 but no-oooooo Delaware has them all over the place. Wuz-Sup-Wit-Tat? And stop calling my car a trailer :icon_geek: tramp. :wallbash:
By the way can we leave a little later, I may be having a late nite!
Bug a Sue, RT 13, Dupont Hwy.
