Portland TDI Club ? ? ?

[evolDiesel]

Hey guys,

Is there a Portland, Oregon TDI Club? I'm just looking for a group of TDI enthusiasts who like to do (1) Club drives and (2) GTG's for sharing knowledge... and a pint [or other beverage of choice]. It seems like there has got to be for how many TDI's I see driving around the Pac NW.

Thanks,
Jack

There are many members in the PDX area and we do have GTG. Someone else more knowledgable will chime in soon. fixumrich, oldpoopie, etc.

Fix-um-haus is the defacto PDX TDI clubhouse. Just stop by anytime and ask Rich how DOKs engine work is coming. You may be able to score some parts there as well.

I have been wanting to do a gtg and cruise. Central Oregon cruise should be fun, but it is quite the drive. I was hoping to do something more local.
If anybody wants to set something up give me a call.

Hook up with "SsootHappens" He's in Raineer also

 

[stubb's]

I can't seem to find anybody by that name on the club. Is the spelling correct?
SsootHappens

 

[oldpoopie]

You can usually swing by my place on a sunday or monday and find me wrenching on somebodies car.

 

[06SpiceRedTDI]

His user name is SootHappens, VDUB2NV and I are in Longview, WA too

 

[stubb's]

I'm in rainier, just over the bridge. We should have a little gtg, maybe a cruise.
I have plenty of room in the parking lot of my business to hang out.
Anybody that wants to have a gtg can give me a call.
I also have vag-com and a shop if anyone needs it.

The Bridge...

The Lewis and Clark Bridge.

I have had nightmares of crossing that bridge.

I was in Goble through the third grade.

 

[stubb's]

It's a nightmare right now. They are painting it.

Yeah I was reading the COC thread and it looks like a lot to bite off (over night stay, camping, etc.)

I'm doing the Absolutely Volkswagen Spring Cruise tomorrow (Portland/Mt Angel). I know it's short notice but if anybody is interested...

I've never met up w/ these guys. They seem to be more of an air cooled group.

OK, do you guys think there's enough interest to start a club? Like I said, drives, GTG's, who knows maybe some shirts/stickers if there's enough interest. I know there's are a lot of TDI's around here but not sure how many 'enthusiasts' we have.

Thanks for the insight

I'm in corvallis, but I'm usually in PDX pretty much every weekend so if something does get started, I'd definitely like to be a part.

 

[stubb's]

I think that a Portland club would be cool. I didn't realize that there were so many TDI's around here. We should have a GTG to feel it out, see who wants to be involved.

That's a good idea! Anybody have a preference on where/when to set the GTG?

Fix-um haus?

 

[whitedog]

I mentioned Fix-um-haus tongue in cheek since they hold a yearly GTG, but you will need to talk to Rich and Marcel about that before discussing it in reality here.

 

[fixumrich]

Tim ! defacto club house . lol... When you gonna visit again ? R

 

[whitedog]

When I need to visit again. Keep your ears open for a 150,000 mile A4, preferably red. Cousin Don's wife is looking.

 

[stubb's]

Just a suggestion.

Wish I was there bump it

We are talking about having some regular GTG's at the new warehouse this summer... there are 40-50 parking spots for plenty of cars.

Niiicceeee!!!

 

[bhutchins]

just found out JetPuf is Brian at BoraParts.com

I'd like to see a dyno day at PSI (Portland Speed Industries) also

 

[evolDiesel]

I'm down with Fix-um haus if they are.

Dyno day at PSI would be awesome.

Anymore genuine interest in a GTG this summer, possibly a drive - Portland 'area' ? ? ?
