Southeastern Bug Fair #7

[yellow73]

Just got back from Toccoa and had a great time seeing friends and meeting new ones. 5 VKG cars were in the show: Yetibone and Sue, Panelfantastic, Zen, NoH2O and Yellow73. Zen premiered his car and took Best Paint and NoH2O showed off his new power plant and took Best Engine. Panel, your van is beatifully engineered and very cool. My family came and enjoyed themselves and got to meet many of the people I often talk about. I hope you all had a safe journey home and look forward to seeing you soon.

Great show. It was realy nice to have 5 VKG rides in the show. Also nice to see 2 other GL's in the show, 7 GL's in one show,,,,now that was cool. I loved seeing the Panel GL. My hat is off to Panelfantastic. That is one sick Bus. The engineering is fantastic for sure.

Sorry I missed, I'm sure it was a great show. I was at a picnic my other vw club was having yesterday, and when I got home I found a check from Finacial aid for almost $900 I have the money now. I guess that's what you would call ironic. I guess it's good, more money for my project.

Can't wait to see the pictures.

man that show sucked bad....but seriously, maybe it was the 8 hour drive that sucked really really bad and the show really rocked... :agree:

O, I forgot to mention me and boy genius got a 45 minute police escort along the backroads of Geogia. Let me tell you, that was really fun too

Congrats to Nigel, Zen & Dave for all winning Top 40 trophies and to Zen & Dave for winning best of Trophies (even if they got the awards mixed up....LOL)

my hat is waaaaayyyyyy of to panelfantastic. that bus is even way more sick in person than in pics. truly amazing. you should have seen the number of people flocking to it. i think all in the VKG have the same stance on judging ("who cares"), but it was funny to see how abject they were to the bus based on not putting it in the Super 40 just because it was "bastardized". you live up to the true mission of the VKG, Jeff..."piss em all off".

it was great to see all and thanks to those who made the long treks. love hanging with you guys and gals. as for the "mix up" and those that don't know, No_H2O's paint is absolutely superb and flawless. mine has a few issues that are going to be reworked. so we have no clue what happened there. the engine judging isn't so obvious to me other than the amount of customization to get the TIV in vs the T1 he is running. again, "who cares?" i think the trophies are in the right homes just to remind us about judging.

congrats to all on a great show and to those that put it on (club and sponsors alike). it was all worth it to me seeing that sh_t-eating grin on Jake's face when i let him get on it in my car. 90mph up a 25 degree hill with head temps at 250. gotta love it. my 911 shroud had my head temps at 325-350 on level ground at 70.

A big thanks to everyone that put the show on, it was great. Panel, what can I say but your bus was just amazing. If you left your engine covered closed you would of easily walked away with a top 40 award, if not top ten if they had it. But you did a better job of rustling the feathers of all those apposed to change. Congratulations to Zen, NO_H2O, and yellow73 on their trophies. I'm really pupmed up to work on my car now so I can see it parked next to everybody elses cars at the shows. :agree:

I had a blast this time as well. It was quiet compared to last year, but worth the trip. We got home about 9:30, and crashed VERY shortly afterwards. Sue's Bug made the trip without incident, once again.

I made some $$$ at the swap, and spent more $$$ on some parts for my Bug project. I'm starting to feel driven to finish this Bug of mine now. I have most of the drivetrain parts, brake parts and suspension parts on hand, or procured elsewhere to finish, then all thats left is the body

Dave, Zen, and Nigel, congrats on the well deserved awards, and Jeff,... well, what can I say man, the Bus is trick beyond words. You've got one killer ride dude.

Glad my Bratwurst Tartar didn't kill anybody. I'll bring a better light to cook by next time.
