WNY PAT - What part of southern Niagara County? I work near the Falls airport and occasionally drive the Boulevard. Mostly my drive takes me thru to Lockport and Somerset though.

bob- I saw one of your Christ Recycling trailers the other day at Mayer Brothers on 18.

Sighting: Yesterday saw a silver A4 with Indiana plates and a "Got Diesel..." frame in Lyndonville on rt. 63. Tried to flag the driver down but it didn't work.

Does a sighting in Lyndonville count as a Buffalo area? Maybe Rochester would be better. How about a "Rural WNY, small town you've never heard of" thread. I kinda doubt I'd get a response though.

Northtown - paid sticker. I think they might have a cancelled order or two coming in the next week or two. They will not sell above MSRP, so it's a pretty fair deal. Call and talk to Will - tell him Kevin (the guy who bought the last cancelled order) sent you. He's a good guy and knows a little about TDIs too! I'll try to get my hands on a license plate frame to identify my ride. See you around!

Which VW dealer did you get your 09 at? I'm usually around Depew/West Seneca area once or twice a week-Transit Rd. It's tough to spot the newer Jettas-the TDI emblem is tiny!

N8RJ - I'm near the Niagara / Erie County border... take Transit / Millersport / 990 / 290 / 190 to work and back. Head up to Wrights Corners a lot. Not in NF much though. Hopefully we'll run into one another... :)

Lyndonville closer o Buffalo....yeah,I just switched the trailer out on Weds. around 2pm-man,that place makes'em a sticky mess! I took 148 back to yard-I tried to recall your directions-I'll probably be back there around mid-October. Double J-where about in Albion you go to?What color is your Beetle?I'll try to keep an eye out for ya-right now I'm driving an older maroon Camry wagon-waiting to get courage to replace turbo on Jetta-leaking oil.Maybe I'll put my extra TDIClub plate frame on the Camry.....

WNYPAT- I'm in Wrights Corners a lot. What color is your 09? Is there a TDI badge on those?

Bob- About 1/2 mile south of the Village of Barker on the left. One of these days I'll post a picture...

cleetis33- How long have you been running your homebrew? Consider selling a few gallons?

DoubleJ - Love the license plate. My wife loves the Jetta, hates the Beetles. I tried to get her to buy one a while back when a diesel popped up for sale but she just doesn't like them. That's ok, we'll get her into a SportWagen someday.

Started experimenting last winter making bd, starting using early spring with no issues as of yet. Not sure if I would sell any but might be willing to "trade" some, don't want to get caught in any legal issues.

Hey Buffalo TDI owners-I have a thread started in the Eastern GTG section for a meet -n-greet possibility for either Dec 20th or 21st or Dec.27th or 28th in Batavia(about halfway between Buffalo and Rochester).So far only a couple people have showed any interest-

Saw a black A5 Jetta with Texas plates in the Lockport Tops parking lot on the 31st.

I get all excited but my wife - not so much...

Two sightings to report:
Last week on 03/12/09 I was driving down Military Rd in Niagara Falls and came up behind a silver A4 TDI with canadian plates. I couldn't get infront of him to show off my TDI bling. I always pay close attention to the canadian VW's since it's a higher chance of sporting the TDI emblem.

Second sighting is a black A4 TDI that lives right next to Niagara Produce on Rt. 78 / Rt. 263. I see that one parked in the lot right there all the time.

I saw a maroonish red A4 Jetta in Tim Hortons drive thru in Batavia around 1:30 today-it had a constant plume of whitish-blue smoke coming out at idle-I was in pickup today.

Spotted a baltic green A4 Jetta going east on I-290,exiting onto the 990 around 12:45pm today.You had the "got 50 mpg" sticker on left of trunk,and another sticker on right side of trunk.I wanted to hit my horn,but figured the air horn would have scared some people-I was in the brown semi.....

Hey I think I've seen that A3 around.

I had to dig pretty deep to find this thread again....

Anyway, [Monday, Sept 21st] heading east on Lockport Rd (from Walmore in NF) all the way to Lockport (Transit Rd.) I caught up to a silver A4 TDI. Took me a bit of 65-70 to get behind him. I just wanted to catch up to see if that badge really did say TDI.

Saw a gray A5 in Newfane last Saturday (9/19). Drove by the middle school.

I think I followed the same silver A4 yesterday. Got behind him on Dysinger coming out of Lockport and followed all the way to Rt. 31 where he turned east and I headed very north. I think my engine breathes a little better after staying with that guy. :)

Saturday, November 21st. I exit Carrabba's on Niagara Falls Blvd. Good food there. Good food.

So there's a Silver A4 Jetta TDI w/ Ohio plates parked right next to me. Leather interior, 5 speed. That was all I saw - my wife was waiting by the cold car to sit so she didn't share my excitement. I get excited... I'm just sayin'.

I will! The Bell complex is a historic place. I know some old timers who have great stories!
I have to take the gf out for a drive to Bye's one of these weekends before they close. I will be looking for a gray Jetta! Happy Thanksgiving!
