The syncro can handle the parts.

Are we gonna set up a swap area for club sale?! I'd do the swap if the parts are there. I'll be showing and I might b camping too! **^bana0 This could be a great time to bring in members and money for the club!

Jim, you gotta come to Flanders!! Can't you wait until October for Octoberfest??? We want you to camp! Who else will close the campsite down with me?!?!?!
I'm bringing Chester to camp in. Yucel???? }dunn--
We'll try to make a valve cover racer for this & Slow Riders.
-
Hell or high water ill be there. Went to go move out with the bus last night. Wouldn't start, smelled gas. Hoses I replace are all dry. There was probably about a cup of gas underneath. Also my fan belt was close to snapping... so I too the gas issue as a sign of Ms. Mildred telling me to rent a U Haul. If I can't find it maybe someone can come over and help me before Flanders. Glad all this happened BEFORE I got on the road.

Traditional October fests are held during the last two weeks of September and end on the first Sunday in October. &^beer& Some clubs start fests earlier but are usually not called October fests.

Pennsaukin

What's wrong w/ ur phone? }dunn-- Call me
-
I have bad signal in my new house. Are you able to come next week after 4? Tuesday, Thursday or Friday?
-
Tuesday looks good
-
Ok let's plan on Tuesday, it'll give me enough time to order parts before flanders. Its just weird that the hoses were dry. It wasn't starting so I gave it gas, then I thought I flooded it so I put the pedal to the floor and turned it over... then I smelled gas. Is is possible that I over flowed the barrel? Maybe its leaking from the fuel pump.
-

If you put more the a tea spoon in.

Float was stuck, bus is working. Looks like I'm going to Flander's! What's on the Menu?
-
What's on the Menu?
I'm bringing a pot Chili for Sat night and some kind of snack.

I'm eating at the clubhouse.

Jim you better be there who is going to make a small effort to keep us under control then say "F" it and join the fun. if your worried about missing Octoberfest what does it have that flanders does not both are German celebrations, both have tons of beer and happy drunk people. the only thing you are missing is people wearing lederhosen and if you can find them i will be more then happy to wear them. would be a nice change from the blue unity suite.
-
Flanders is now #2 on the list of four things to do that weekend. Baltimore is off the list but October fest is in first place, real German beer (5 -6 types) in barrels from Germany. Also, bands from Germany will be playing continuously.
-
I'll bring Roti for all who wants! I'll bring 2 kinds.. Chicken and Soya!
-
yummy..
And Jim, maybe Greg can play some German music for you... whistleegi
-
Yeah, I can get Matt to bring his Trumpet and we can play German Trios!
-
We'll hit the liquor store for some German beer, and we're all set. &^beer& See... sounds like a plan! **^bana0
-
yean and it looks like my brother might be bailing on us so we might need you to push Jim lol.

OK, someone in my house has been 3#blab# 3#blab# 3#blab# my ear, so I will be camping - I hope to get some real estate across the road in the small field area, at least that area was much less crowded than last time I was there.... Of course I expect little sleep from the &^beer& **^bana0 #@rofl3 brainfart) &^beer& - but maybe I'll find quieter place this time*...
See you all there!
M & K & ?

Matt,
I've been speaking with Jeff and he informed me that things are a little different this year. The area in the former pine grove (right side of the road coming in) is designated camping for the "Partiers" and it will be "policed".
The left side of the road will be designated the "Quiet/Family" camping area and will be "policed" even more vigorously )))copligh
Ramone- what is roti?
We are trying to figure out if we are making food or eating at clubhouse... I never ate in there before.. is it German food Jack?
Roti is WONDERFUL.... Its sort of a tortilla pocket with thick cream-of-potato and the "meat " it is named after (chicken roti, beef roti , soya roti(soy bean) etc.) but that description makes it sound horrible, which it is not.
Food at clubhouse is not ethnic... Just good & portions are huge.
-
.. I never ate in there before.. is it German food Jack?
It's good O'l stick to your ribs food.
-
Great, thanks for the info Shawn, I just wonder how the inital sorting will work out... sign pointing to the right "Partiers", sign pointing to the left, "Stick(s) in the mud".
I'm gald they are doing something like this, even if it does not work out, I appreciate them trying, it's very respectful.
Hmm, thinking of eating in the clubhouse too, can be a little bit of a wait for the food, but is good, and at a good price...!
Katie is bringing Bridgette.
Ted is staying home, well, Bob will be pulling 300+ lb.s less I guess, and no timeber sawing at night... whistleegi
-
Ramone- what is roti?
It's like what Shawn said, but he left out a key ingredient! CURRY!!!!
That famous West Indian flavor! @campfiresmiley
-
I'm not leading the cruise up this year so someone else tune up your GPS.
I want to 2chillop relax (*driving) drinking my coffee co&ffee-, playing my tunes **^bana0, smoking, brainfart) taking movies and not worrying -eyescan.= about directions.
-
did flanders make a shirt this year?

-
OH NO, not a camping and fun theme whistleegi
-
Hmm.. "Partiers" and "Party Poopers" signs huh? lol It'll be fun to see how the club divides up.... whistleegi
Looking forward to the show, and with any luck MAYBE finally buying a car for Pete's sake... #@rofl3
-
Zoom in on the map a little and you will see a dogleg at the upper right part of the field across the street from the show field, whoever leads us in check out that spot first for us to park. 2@@cool

-
First the bad news &(rage_
I won't be camping as Katie has an obligation to go to that night
The Good news byeby.,
Still can make the show, and I can push!
The Bad News &(rage_
I wont be able to make the slam and slumber camping / show, a nephew of mine is getting married - all I can hope for is he calls the whole thing off -
This is the first time I will miss the show and camping since they started, bawlin)0 I remember you guys wanted me to do a test run - found it was a great, and very interesting show. Well, the best thing about us not going, is now someone else in the club will be able to possibly win at the valve cover races...........
See you all Sunday!
Matt
-
You have to put all the VW events on a calendar at the beginning of the year and send it to every you know and tell them to plan all their stuff around those dates.
Will miss you guys tomorrow night.
-
Is anyone going up Sunday?
Maybey, but I'll probably take the parkway
-
Don't forget your valve cover racers for Flanders!! (Gotta win that if we don't have a enough to push...)
Want to bring my bike since I don't know how far from things we'll park (ie - bathroom). Can't park in the "rowdy section" because I still can't drink... so I think we'll be a more subtle crew this year... you know I'm the instigator!! ?/banghea?/
-
Well this isn't going to be any fun LOL. Maybe I'll stay home.
-
Getting Burgers, and Dogs for dinner tomorrow night and also smores. Matt is getting Pancake Batter for Breakfast Sunday Morning. What are we doing for lunch tomorrow?
-
Well, late (BIG) breakfast at Red Lion Diner should hold me over until supper. Yes, I said supper... my grandma lives in western PA and they call it supper. LOL
Bringing lots of snacks to tide me over until dinner... We aren't planning to eat in the club house either...
It's gonna be a cold one... well, colder than our last few campouts so we might even bring out Mr. Heater. Definitely lots of blankets!
-
My family always called it supper and Sunday dinner was in the afternoon around 3p, must be the German in us or something.
-
Don't forget your valve cover racers for Flanders!! (Gotta win that if we don't have a enough to push...)
We can go for BOTH!!!!!!!
I'm debating if i should camp??? /snow /snow #sick /snow /snow
It's gonna be brrrrrr cold!!!!!

I just finished swapping wheels on my V.C.Racer.
When CJVVWS posted the rules 'NO BALL BEARINGS', well that killed my Racer with inline skate wheels. So I visited the Goodwill store and came out with a toy cart that has nice (no bearings) wheels and axils. I buffed the axils, put teflon bearings washers between the body and wheels and the finished result may be even faster than the skate wheels. It also looks like it may even track strighter, We'll see.
-
Bring more blankets.
-
You gotta camp Ramone!! Lots of drink to keep u warm... and the blankets for later!
Greg- how's your foot??
-
Ramone sent me a PM. He bailed on Camping!
Gawd....Ya'd think he was born on a tropical island or something
I'm bringing the tent for him anyway, in case he grows some before tomorrow
-
Foot is better, but it still hurts. Now it hurts when I'm bare foot. I might need a more aggressive sole in my shoe to fix it. Sorry guys, I can't push. Who is going to help me convince Matt that the heater is safe?!
-
A fire retardant suit and fire extinguisher... #@rofl3
-
LoL, got the extinguisher... the suit isn't a bad idea lol.
