Ho5G Post-Fest Fest

[JettaJake]

What a crew! Only ~15 hours before the garages are dripping with elbow grease

I have pp520s to put into Jake (which points me to RC3) and have been just too laid back to acquire a boost gage for him....anyone have a decent extra one they might like to supply?

Hope to have a consult with the suspension experts, too.

Should be sunny and topping 70degF by noon.

Bringing cookies unless I hear different here.

 

[MikeS_18]

Anybody attending with Koni Reds? I would like to try these in addition to Peter's FSDs.

 

[david_594]

Corey (cevans) has Koni Reds on his A4 wagon.

 

[IndigoBlueWagon]

So what time do I need to show up for breakfast?

Aren't you coming here first?

 

[DeeBee]

GORDON.... you're ALIVE
Will you grace us with your presence oh great GORDON

Aww...so much love from DeeBee, Chill, and Big B (and Iggy via email) warms my heart! I'll be along, but later in the day, probably around 1ish.

 

[emile]

this is a regular post-fest fest post fest!

i'll be bringing some very strange looking heirloom tomatoes from a local organic farm.

 

[Jetter_Sprinta]

Yum! Should I bring rye bread and onions for tomato sandwiches?

 

[bilzer]

We will be bringing Kelbasi to grill!

 

[Varkias]

I'll try and pick up the watermellon as well, since some other people are getting snacks as well.

 

[meganuke]

Turkeys are apparently scarce since we're nowhere near Thanksgiving...so we got 4 chickens instead. I hope we don't deep fry Iggy by mistake...

[fase2000TDI]

[chrisfiat]

I showed up as early as possible today in the hopes of getting chipped and yes I cought Jeff right off the bat, and managed to even make it work on thim, thanks to the RC. Jeff Thanks for your excelent work and the fixing of a couple of the small problems and your patience you do a great job it is easy to tell that you do it for more than just a living, and that makes the difference.

 

[chrisfiat]

To the hosts of Ho5G thanks you have a great plaace for this and while i didn't get to spend much time with the crowd the people i met and talked to were well great if not just a littole different in a good way. I look forward to seeing you all again. Rocket chip Rocks, like my 5 year old daughter says " Dad slow down you are going to win an other ticket".

 

[burpod]

i had a fun time. too bad i didn't have enough time to really hang out for as long as i had hoped, meet everyone, and get more stuff done too. man that oem hitch is a sturdy piece of work! wow! i love it. so at least i got that done and one more mod to cross off my list. really easy to install - the hardest part i think was taking off my splash guards! i'll meet everyone else eventually down the line... i'll be back!

 

[bilzer]

Thanks for a great GTG

It was nice to see all of you and Peter graciously helped me change out a much needed leaking intercooler. It is certainly awesome to work in a garage and actually have all the right tools to do the job.
The food was absolutely wonderful and the people awesome as always!

Bill & Donna

 

[Phoenix42]

Things were stilll going strong when I left about two hours ago.
Crazy!
Peter & Julie, thanks for throwing another fine GTG!

 

[GCMarx]

Finally made it home...stayed on 495 longer than anticipated, ended up out by Phoenix. Don't ask.

Wonderful to see everyone, as usual. Thanks so much to Peter and Julie for hosting us, and Brad and Chill for helping me get my lights adjusted.

 

[TDI-kid410]

WOW...my first gtg and i had a blast, we finally got the beetle runnin strong thanks to jeff, we finished about 1:00AM, peter said thats the longest its ever lasted at his house. anyways love the car, just hope to get those faulty 520 nozzles fixed soon.

-Donny-

 

[david_594]

It was fun. Thanks everyone. Just got home(in springfield) and it was a rough ride, but I made it safely.

Peter and julie, enjoy the seats. Got a late start on them but defenitely didnt not want to push that project off to a later date. We can clean up the rest of that rats nest next time around.

Deebee.... GTG's wont be the same without ya. But Im sure we will take plently of pictures for ya .

 

[RC]

[meganuke]

Another great GTG. Many thanks to our hosts, Jeff from Rocketchip and everyone that showed.

Special thanks to Corey for making the required blood sacrifice to appease my car's appetite.

 

[fase2000TDI]

wow! great gtg. Julie, wow, next time pass the broom. You keep that house cleaner than an operating room! Peter I hope you enjoy those heated seets, I don't think I've ever seen such a classy a4 with so many great options!

chill - Hope you get some rest & a day without much sugar.

david - since I brough a chick to a gtg, will not not kick me from chat anymore?

n1das - always good to see you... why did you de-sticker your golf? tell me you at least have them somewhere, I'd like to put them on my car

deebee, http://www.kenya-travel-safari.com/gifs/map-of-kenya.gif you jerk! I see no DeeBee town

finally.. phoenix 42... well, I don't know how to take you. Hope you had a safe trip home

 

[GCMarx]

deebee, http://www.kenya-travel-safari.com/gifs/map-of-kenya.gif you jerk! I see no DeeBee town

That's because you're looking in Kenya, dummy! Deebeetown is the capital of ZAMUNDA.

 

[Phoenix42]

finally.. phoenix 42... well, I don't know how to take you. Hope you had a safe trip home

 

[Jetter_Sprinta]

Thanks, P&J! Another success!

For all of you who don't know where the House of 5 Garages is, why don't you look at your map? Just follow the Hamster!!

Amazing... verikas' map has a Hamster over the Ho5Gs. There must be some kind of devine intervention. I wonder if there is a beer over Phoenix's house?!

If following the Hamster doesn't work for you, follow all the TDIs.

We had a brand newbie with a B4 that he pulled into the "oldie, but best" lot in back--

As you all know, Jon recently lost his beautiful B4V, so we pt him to work in the A3/B4 lot.

We are sad to see our friend DeeBee head off to Zamunda to begin his reign. We sent him off in the best way we knew how--

Corey is excited by this development, because he thinks that he can now sit in his chair and threaten people that he is going to peel them and eat them like a chicken... either that, or Gordon is back there somewhere.

DeeBee's loyal fans--

We are going to miss you, DeeBee. And stop picking out which of our cars you want when you come back!!

 

[tablesturn]

thanks!

a note from the B4 newbie in JetterSprinta's pics-

First thing I did after breakfast this morning? Took apart all of my malfunctioning exterior door handles and re-set the pins.... Thanks Jonathan!

I had a nice time and really learned a lot. You are a generous and fun group. Special thanks also to Julie & Peter for hosting, Peter for the parts, Brian for the filter tutorial, Chris & Scott for the welcome and much more and to MrChill for pointing me in the direction of East Hampster.

See you around
