The BUG*PWR award is given out each year at TDIFest to an individual who has done a lot of work for various people in the club and was always willing to help others. It is in memory of a member named BUG*PWR who did a lot of work for others and was always jumping in to assist others. We are looking for someone who has given a lot to the TDIClub community, goes out of their way to help others, and is not in it for any profit. If you would like to nominate someone, please post a little bit about the person and what they have done for the club.

You must have some REAL good times with us in Michigan if you can't recall the city!


Is Can't Remember next to township of Who Cares?


Anyway - 2002 Fest (where you may recall I uttered the fateful words "I will NOT modify this car!") was in Grand Rapids.

Not the city..... He couldn't remember who won the Bug*Pwr award
Well, all the other places listed both city and state but not poor ol' Michigan. As you surmised I took it to mean he forgot the city. Thank you for correcting me on this point.

OK OK tOmO see I can get that right.

Robert I was trying to conserve bandwidth.. And wait until you get to the age I am. You even might forget where 6th gear is.

I was going from memory for the awards. As the award Chair at the last Fest there were allot of things that I was trying to remember. And I also have the dreaded CRS disease..

Thank you Fred. The CRS pills work with help from your friends..
But did you know a recent intensive medical research study has proven that Hamsterbrownies attack your CRS brain cells? Better eat more of 'em then - beats popping pills you know - LOL!

Glad I could help a bit here.

I thought the 2000 Bug-Power award went to Skypup. Garrett misspelled Thom's name on the award plaque. Thom got quite a kick out of that.

LMAO....

Good one Karl. I DO have that picture saved.


Aha! Thank you for the link Tomo. Skypup DID in fact get an award. I thought my old brain was failing me because I KNEW he got some kind of an award plaque, and Garrett did misspell his name on it.
