When I got to the water towers around 5:30 I met Mark, and then a few minutes later Michelle (if I'm off on the names please forgive me. I'm horrible with names.) who introduced themselves to me and my wife, Carol. They didn't have their VW's, but they were there. We stood around and chatted for a while before I drove over to the show area. I briefly saw them walk by, but I was talking with a Nash Metropolitan owner at the time and lost track of them. I don't know if the other two Bugs were club members or not. I think the white one was a 73 and the blue convertible was a 72. I think the 72 took a trophy.
Still, Carol and I had a really nice time. The people we met were all friendly and talkative. There is another Cruise Night in October, but I'm pretty sure my car is going to be quite dismantled by then.
It was supposed to be in pieces by now. I've just been having too much fun playing with it!! Tomorrow (actually later today) I'm having someone take a listen to it. It's making an ominous "clacking" noise that sounds heavier than valve train noise to me. It's also vibrating more than I remember as the revs build. So, I think it's time to get started on it.
It's OK to hijack your own thread, right... :confused04:;
