Nothing Worse than a mad Pussy......

We got annihilated by a storm last night, terrible devastation loss of Life and The Governor just declared a state of emergency we have our power....But over a million still dont.

Thanks Tim for a great GTG. Not too hot there in the woods of CT, and Parker and I had a quick ride home on 91 and 90. Chased a Corvette for most of the ride on the Pike who must have thought the route number was the speed limit. Still showing 49 on the MFI.

Very nice time. Lots of people - way more than last year and people from VA, OH, down the Cape, etc so it looks like we have a annual thing going here.

Good to see lots of new and old faces. Was happy to bring ole Krusty and show the work lots of people on this board have done on the car. Just upgraded the side panels in the rear hatch area from moldy crap to pretty nice condition panels.

The only downside on the way out was that Main Street was closed due to a parade???!!! Had to take back roads out through cornfields...now I feel like watching Twister tonight!

Tim, thanks again - and I think you're good for food for a few days!

[PeterV]

We just made it out away from the parade...

I hope I can make it next year. I'm quickly becoming an enthusiast, within a few weeks of purchase.

There is movement on the farm again... Breakfast time, a little bit of cleaning up, then time to hit the road.

Looks like the power is still out at home (day 2) - might be going to my parents and enjoying their A/C for the night.

Pics from this weekend...

[GTiTDi]

Had a great time Tim, awesome spot! I would come down and give you a hand getting that 1926 International started anytime! Same goes for land clearing for the "rally course" we discussed, LOL!

 

[BRUSSELS BELGIAN]

By All Means Necessary!

well sorry to say this but duty calls......All the principals at work are out of town so my presence is requested.......Also I am having trouble with the A/C so it would have been an uncomfortable trip.....So sadly I must Bow out.....

You WIMP! I VOLUNTARILY went without air conditioning to maximize precious fuel economy!

 

[PeterV]

Jack were you still thinking you were in IraQ??? OMG no wonder you are fried.

You just have to listen more to Lug Nut.

 

[tomo366]

The Miltary provides great medical care Jack you should go see them!

High mileage B4 owners chatting happily away, hers has 426K and mine a lowly 404K, but I'm catching her.

It was a great time, thanks for hosting it Tim. Wish I could have stayed longer, maybe next year I'll bring a tent since I got home at midnight. Samuel passed me on I-84 at about 85 mph and I saw no burning A3 hulks on the side of the road, so I guess the boost hose repair held up OK.

Great to be able to put a face to a name for many of you. It was truly a great time and just what GTG's are all about.

 

[BlueCTTDi]

Great to see everyone again - It's been a while since the last GTG in January Thanks to Tim for letting us invade his compound.. great way to spend the day.

When's the next one?

Lug Nut changing the yard lights on Saturday morning.

Looks like a great time. Srry we missed it.

I'm starting ot think you have these get-togethers so people can change your lights.

 

[bhtooefr]

Got back home at midnight to find that most of my city is out of power, but I've got it.

Had a great time, good to see everyone, and thanks for hosting, Tim.

 

[PeterV]

Its how many TDIers are really needed to change a light......

TDIers help in many ways....

 

[onlyinabeetle]

Yes, they do, special thanks to Tim for hosting a great day, Patrick for the switch and to Brian and Jason for installing fog lights in my car! They look great!

 

[BeetleGo]

LOoks like the weather was great! I'm glad to hear that it went so well! Any other pictures???

 

[TooRoundTDI]

You guys are more than welcome! I just love seeing all my old friends and meeting new friends every time. That and I get new light bulbs and Jason does my (yearly) vacuuming every time. I had a super fun time again this year, thank YOU all for coming!

 

[myke_w]
