Hey Ya'll, I've been wanting to have a GTG for a while. I wanted to shoot for April because of the nice weather, but the days just got ahead of me.

So on May 26th, we should all come down to my shop. I'm planning on providing BBQ, beverages, a band (one of my customers is in a bluegrass trio), as well as some raffle prizes, install demos, biodiesel and quality TDI mingling time.

Planning on getting things rolling around 10 and maybe we should try to be done by 4 but I don't really see myself throwing anyone out.

Hopefully it wont be too hot:rolleyes:

I'd like to have a head count at least a week out so I get enough food.

Already got a good little group. Looking forward to it.

I mentioned this to Marin a few weeks a go and the other day he called me and reminded me that I'm supposed to be hosting a GTG soon so I know he's excited about it :)

Out of TDI's
They just cleared and graded the lot next door to me. Looks like it might as well be a driving range (except all mud).
I'm too rusty now (new hip put in and I slacked off). Even a driving range may be too much at this point!:D Looking forward to the event and some of that famous brisket! ;)

I guess this could also be my 10 year TDIclub membership anniversary party or 10 years since I got my car. I'll have my girlfriend make a cake :)

I'm slow, but I'm slow...just now saw the thread, and have put it on my calendar. Let me know how I can help/what is needed. I'm looking forward to it, just for a chance to change the luck, since your last GTG was, um, er, painful!

Well I only had one appendix so at least I know I won't be recovering from that particular surgery this time.

By the way, your buddy Butch Hancock stopped by today. I put him down for an oil change, fuel filter and Panzer plate for his '10 wagon. Thanks for the referral.

Do wives attend these too? Up in MI we would always have a few "garage widows" attendthe GTG's. I'm wondering if there would be any lady's attending that my wife could talk to if I got too involved in any wrenching.

Looking forward to meeting some TX-tdiers :D

My son-in-law (Critter Motor Sports) will also be there. Please let us know what we can contribute. Thanks again, Robbie!
