West Michigan Fall TDI GTG - Oct. 14, 2023

[JETaah]

Gee willikers!
it’s been a solid decade since I last hosted a Michigan GTG. Time flies! (when yer gettin’ old)
No matter. Kirk and Linda have done a hell of a job maintaining the clubhouse.
I’m going to try my best to make it.

Was wondering when you were going to chime in, it'll be good to see you Marty!

Very neat build!

Well, I have to attend this since I've not missed one yet at Kirk's. He won't like it if I don't come by for the day so...

Gordon - LOVE the period correct mint green on your F100!

 

[r90sKirk]

was hoping you'd pick the better alternative!

Hi Kirk,
It’s been quite a few years and I’m not sure if you remember me, but I would like to tentatively RSVP to this GTG. I haven’t had a tdi for a long time, but my bro who lives in CT just picked up a 2012 Golf tdi and he may come back for a visit that weekend. If he comes along, then my bro with a 2002 Jetta tdi would also likely attend. I will follow up by the end of next week if that’s ok. Thanks for hosting!

Kirk, name tags this year?

Thanks. It is the vehicles original color "April green"

Hi, Kirk. Mike Bradford, here... I will definitely be attending... Prolly need to bring the new-to-me '14 Golf TDI instead of the big Mercedes this time around. Looking forward to seeing everyone. (I also told Matt W about the GTG... he said he'll prolly come down, too). TTYL!

Awesome - I've tried to get ahold of Matt on several occasions, but,.... to no avail, thanks!

I find that I am in a scheduling conflict. I can't make those 2 days. I don't suppose you could push it up a week, just for me? LOL!

 

[Scratcher]

Will there be any tuners there? Id like to get rid of this pesky hot start delay. I feel like its taking years off my starter!!

You could always invite @burpod, though I don't know if he'd want to drive to Michigan. Wish I could make it, but I have prior obligations.

No, back in the Jackson area.
I’ll confirm by end of week. Thanks!

Again, if you're looking for any parts MK4 related, I've got tons of parts that will be there for sale!

WTB: standard gray mkiv rear view mirror, 2dr crank window parts, silver Golf body panels and bumpers in nicer shape than what I have.... that's all I can think of.

There might be a mk4 with crank windows at Sand Lake Auto. It had manual mirrors I remember because I was looking for a mirror. I don’t recall if it was a Jetta or Golf. They’re open on Saturdays

 

[J_dude]

Dang it. Looks like I won’t be able to make it, thought I was going to be near the area around that time but plans kinda fell through.

I don't usually keep much from the interiors (running out of space for that), I think I have a good front bumper cover for a Golf though in black.

FWIW - I have a rust free set of all four doors for Jetta wagon in Indigo Blue, and I still have a rust free (Texas) set of B4V doors and rear hatch in Black, however there aren't many B4V's on the road anymore.
