It's Time !!!
OK - we will even have a new '06 Jetta TDI to drool over - no it's not mine !.

So let's start thinking of a weekend Sat or Sunday coming up - I'm open to suggestions.

Let's do it.

I'll try. Gotta trade off days at work to get there. Its the dead season, though, so it shouldn't be too much trouble.

Guys, per usual, take a left at the end of the park's main road and go all the way down to the cul-de-sac on the end - where the red arrows are on the map.

Hi Everyone,

Just picked up my first VW ever (this may sound silly, but I come from a huge VW family and I am the black sheep so this is my first one). I was wondering since I live in Tarpon Springs, whether I would be welcome to come visit everyone at Fort Desoto next weekend?

Specs:

2006 - VW Golf GLS TDI (Lokey VW - Countryside) Anthracite Blue.

My brother owns a 2004 Golf GLS TDI - Black and my other brother owns a 1953 split window micro, a 1973 Carman Ghia and a 1992 Passat (not sure what engine in the passat).

A friend of mine located in Tampa runs a Bio-Diesel Co-op and sells it by the 55 gallon drum for about $2 per gallon, but since my Golf only has 50 miles on the ODO, I will probably wait until getting advice regarding running on processed WVO fuel before taking that plunge...any advice?

thanks,

Marc

Sierra Marc -Please come and invite any other TDI friends/family as well - one of these days the DeSoto GTG will rival TDIfest in numbers.

Pics of the last GTG:

There will be other A5 owners as well as the regular A4 gang there to share experiences with.

BTW, guys, my girlfriend wants one of these next year - I hope they bring the TDI version here:
WOW !!!

Sadly, I have to work on Sundays now. I'm done by 3:00, so if you guys are hanging out later, I can make a showing, but it would be about 4:00 by the time i get there.....

I don't know......Do we let "those" people come? Didn't we vote out the last guy from up in that area when he didn't bring a TDI cake???


yeah... that's the ticket.... cake!

I think any of us would welcome any TDI Guy/Gal. Welcome.Of course you can come, we even let one guy attend with his mercedes POS one time
and a guy on a bike


I guess we are still on for Sunday, Rita should be long gone tormenting Texas by then.
What is everyone bringing?? Oh! and who is the guy with the creamcheese & steaksauce & chips, I forget, will he be there? they were missed at our last GTG. I have another box of brats in the freezer and can pick up buns if that sounds ok again?

see ya there
