VOLKSFEST in INDY this weekend (Sunday) Anyone wanna go?
It's a lot closer to me than you guys, but it might be worth the trip. We've also got a hell of an airshow down here this weekend at Mount Comfort Airport. Just PM me if you want to come down.

okay Indiana people.. Is anyone buying diesel from Country Mark. B5 at a good price. http://countrymark.com/ there's quite a few locations in Indiana. I've only had my 06 for six fill ups. I've been been filling from BP with power service diesel kleen additive from walmart but I did a tank of premium diesel from country mark without any real notable difference. It could be that my wife drives around town at about 3000 rpms. she's learning. (inside my mind I'm screaming shift!, shift!) .... Anyhow I just wanted feedback. From what I read it should provide better lubricity without having to add an additive to get the cetane number up. only time will tell. and is there any way to fill up quickly with those big diesel nozzles. I'm barely pouring it and checking my fuel gauge through the window to not overfill it. (didn't do that the first time).

soINtdi-
I buy exclusively from countrymark in noblesville, for both of my cars. b5, b10, b20 at the pump. good quality, no problems ever, in 4 years.
ROBERT- I'm going to have to sit this one out. Lots of stuff going on at home and work, july should be better. Also, internet has been down for three days at my house. Sorry I didn't let you know sooner.
Crabby- Good to have you aboard!

Never tried the stuff, mainly just hit the Flying J in Lebanon, Shell on 31 @ 465, or one of the many Speedways in Lafayette...DCELL said:

China Garden Restaurant
910 E. Ireland Rd.
South Bend, IN 46614
Located in Erskine Plaza between Menards and Martin's. This mall is not very visible from Ireland Road as it's setback quite a bit with other businesses fronting Ireland. If coming from US 31 headed east on Ireland there's a traffic light at the bottom of the hill which is High Street. Turn right at this light and once in parking lot head east for a bit going past Menard's - you'll see it. If coming from the east on Ireland can access it by going left at Miami St. then making a right into Martin's at the light which is Bowen St./Erskine Plaza - go past Martin's and there it is.
Sure hope someone shows up at this one! X_Railroader can't make it which is why we can try this place for June. Wanna bet TDI_Convert will miss this one?
Looks like jharrison is my best hope for company if his schedule permits it! TDI_Convert

Any update on this vehicle? I'm interested in the tranny parts for a swap. Thanks..
GTG time is 6:30pm Eastern - just wanted to clarify that so you know when to come!TDI_Convert said:Remember what??
BTW -Adonis- PM'd me that he may be able to make this one.
Thought you guys would like to take a gander at my new customized taillight:
Happened Monday in a parking lot - three guys in a Pontiac with a loud exhaust drove by, stopped by my car, one got out and hit my taillight with a stick then drove off! Security camera saw it but license plate is unreadable plus there were a few witnesses. Filed police report and when I got home changed it out with my spare. Just picked my car at random. At least they didn't go for a window or sheetmetal so could've been worse!

too bad, but at least you had a spare and it's a 10 minute fix. It sucks though, what it the world coming to? Maybe they mistook your car for someone else. I think it should be legal to shoot people for stupidity... Speaking of which, after today at work, I'd have an empty clip!!

Regarding Fyrsail's car- I saw him over the weekend, said he had most of it stripped and a garage full of parts. PM him for details on what you want, I know he already had a few people interested in some stuff at the vw show in indy, not sure what he sold.

I have a spare set going by the philosophy "if I have a spare I'll never need it* "
* - And if I do need it I'm covered!
Yeah - it happened at 12:24pm during lunch with people around - how stupid can you get?!
BTW I forgot to mention this China Garden place has a buffet. Would that tempt you to motor on up after all? Think of hanging with us a way to unwind (or get wound up?) after a pleasant day interfacing with the public.

Happened to see this topic and thought I'd say hi. Not sure who is still around from when I was more active with TDI's 1999-2002.
Driving an 09 Sedan now. Miss my Golf's. Saint John area.

You don't suppose he'll be sending all the pieces via UPS to the Goshen Genius (we know who that is!) for reassembly including a large box of unmarked fasteners? That would test even the most dedicated knowledgeable mechanic!DCELL said:

that would make for a fun party game! especially a big bag of fasteners. I would throw in some random ones from other cars, just to make it challenging!
Sorry but there is no way that it is going to be possible for me this month. I am just way to busy with baseball. My schedule should get a lot lighter in June... Except I may end up coaching the All-Star team.CoolWht said:Next Michiana dinner GTG is on Tuesday, June 16th - 6:30pm at:

Robert sorry to hear about your tail light. I will let you know my schedule the weekend of June 20th I may finally be able to have time to do the work on your car. My schedule has been so random here lately I am not even sure what I am doing for more than a couple of day in advance.
Jeff
June? You mean July, right? Only have about 400 to go to 100K mark right now. Have all parts and ready with only a couple of days notice needed as I still have no "must do's" on my calendar until end of August. Know you're aware of my mileage and will fit me in soon as you are able to.jharrison said:
Will miss seeing you at the dinner - hopefully it'll be back to normal for next month which goes for the also-busy this month DCELL too. Thanks for the update!
First time we've tried this place - very reasonable prices and excellent food. Place was just about packed when Scott and I went in at 6:30pm but we did snag a booth right away. Not sure if that's normal for them so with more than four of us might be a challenge getting a table if we go here again. Hopefully we'll be back to the usual 3-5 in attendance down Plymouth way for the July dinner GTG.
