No I don't think I'll make it to BugJam this year. My VW is currently in the body shop, and I'm overly committed until December. I'm at FSU right now trying to get a BS in Nursing. Takes up most of my time. If only Bugjam was closer. But once the car is finished I should be able to get to more events.

As for the TR.... That's the reason my tinker toy is a VW. If you guys thought expenses get out of hand on VW's, check out the prices on TR parts!!!! Ridiculous. My father in law has had 2 TR4's since they were new and he knows his way around them. Lucky for me. He does most of the maintenance on the wife's car. He's built up stockpiles of parts. I had actually thought about buying another TR for my next project, but there's no backseat, and I couldn't stand to see the bug waste away.

Yeti, are you going to the British car meet in St. Augustine this weekend? The wife's folks are going. They do VTR and all of that stuff. The wife and I did the convention in May and it was a hoot. There's a picture of the car on the Temple of Triumph website under funkhana. It's a red 6 with me driving and my wife hanging halfway out. Great time.

Anyway guys, thanks for having me. I'm sure looking forward to it, and I'll keep you posted on the project.
