Hey guys,
Anyone interested in a second Shore GTG the weekend of September 29 and 30? The H2O national gathering is being held in Berlin at the racetrack that weekend too. Let me know and if there is enough interest I can start to get things in order. This place is really wonderful in the fall.....

Mel, H2O is a big regional VW enthusiast show. Lots of VWVortex types. Different from a TDIClub GTG but still lots of fun. This year (as with last year), its being held at the racecourse (horses) in Ocean City.

RC, I'll be there with wife and hound in the tuetonic wagon. The Fest just isn't going to happen for us this year.

brownnugen? Where are you? C'mon, lets have the wagons set the pace here. Show these young upstarts what a GTG is all about.


Tomo? We'll let you bring the benz if you've managed to flog the Passat by then.

What!!


After blowing it off for all this time you're going to pull a switcheroo on us? I'm jealous.

The forces of shrinking vacation time and Mr Amex and Mr Visa have basically cut us off at the knees.

Hi RC,

I'm still trying to get to my first GTG. Unfortunately, Sept.29 does not work for me. OTOH, Oct.6 does, if that's a possibility.

Thanks,

Mel

PS, What's the H20 National Gathering? Is it harness racing or something else?

I might be able to make Shore GTG II.

Hey MM, Mr Visa keeps calling me, too. He seems to really like getting mail from me, and gets impatient when I don't send it to him on time. Really makes me feel special.

If anyone on the way to TDIFest gets lost/stranded in Phoenix, I'll be there until the 18-SEP, languishing in the desert heat on a business trip.

awsome RC. Im skipping tdifest to buy a motorcycle (dont laugh at me). Im also buying an old Amida light tower (the big lights you see at construction sites). Im gonna rip the lights off, and use the kubota engine and generator to make a small scale portable biodiesel processor. It has sufficient space inside for tanks and mixing area, and the engine will produce the heat to warm the mixture, the electricity to power the pumps, and will also act as a generator if you need it. They have 3-cyl 20hp kubota diesels, so the whole rig will be powered with the biodiesel it produces. boy will this be a fun toy to tote around to gtg's!

erm.....

First Offence......nah, got past that long ago

Frequent Offender......closer, but still no cigar methinks

Faulty Organs.......well, my liver complains sometimes, and when you get to Tom's age, who knows

Fleeing Oppression.......hey, I don't know Tom's wife, so I'm sure she is a wonderful woman, and see no reason why he would want to flee. I would have paid good money to be fly on the wall when he suggested the Fest though

Fart Openly.......yep, me and the sootmonster both. So?

I give up Tomo. Help a brother out, eh?

Tom, I didnt know you called me matt. Usually you recognize my presence with a simple "HEY FAT BOY!!!" so, lay off the "matt" and youll eliminate the confusion

The last time I tried to grow biomass in my basement with all those high-powered lights, I had to explain it all to the 'Federales'...


Hopefully you won't have the same problems.

I'll be in my home state of Utah for most of September, then returning on the 28th or 29th, just in time for another surgery a couple days later.

I'd love to get out to the Eastern Shore again and meet many of you good folks!

Ron,

You know I'd be there in a heartbeat, but unfortunately I will be at a Conference that weekend. If it gets rescheduled then count me in!!

OK, this is what I hate about hosting on of these things. Looks like a good deal of you can`t make the 29/30 Sept date. Lets start a poll to see what works for most of us......?

C'mon RC, you didn't really think it was going to be that easy, did you?


Pretty much any weekend is good for me, except for the 13th of October, which is the Seagull Century. Although come to think of it, that might work too, I just have to fit a 100 mile bike ride in on Saturday. Salisbury to Assateague and back, via Berlin and the long way round. Hey, we could have the TDI's run as sag wagons for the riders
. Given the amount of time I've spent on my road bike this year (null), I'll probably need it.

I think it may be a good idea to move it, seeing as most people that might have come appear to have other commitments already. Some of our newer local members need to bring their pride and joys to meet the rest of us freaks.

Hi Guys,

Sonny Lowe here from Upsolute. I have plans that weekend, but would maybe be able to switch things around if this goes on. Another weekend would be great though. I could come out and hang with the guys and maybe even through in a few chips if you want. I'll keep checking back for progress, hope to be able to make it and meet some semi local Dub guys

I for one would love to meet up with someone from upsolute to be able to get chipped. I've paid for the chip already, and made it down to Williamsburg, but had to skip it due to the gf.
