Don't think I'll have my suspension ready for the cruise, but I'm hoping to make it this year. Been too long since I've seen some of you guys.

Maxvw · « **Reply #13 on:** Mar 17, 14, 11:14 »

HyDrOPoNiC · « **Reply #14 on:** Mar 18, 14, 20:56 »

Can pretty much guarantee I won't have the VW ready to be driven

sooooo... I won't be able to come.
Hope it goes well and more people sign up

HyDrOPoNiC · « **Reply #17 on:** Mar 19, 14, 20:55 »

Hahaha I won't say anything Rick....

Thanks Dan, I'll let you know closer to the date.

I really want to have the corrado closer to drivable by then but I have so many other half done projects it's ridiculous. We'll see how the next few weeks go.

Maxvw · « **Reply #18 on:** Mar 20, 14, 22:30 »

honestly the more people the better! it would be best to try and keep it a vw cruse but I don't want anyone to be excluded just cus they haven't gotten their car ready

Rick: the bmw is fine otherwise i'd have to leave half my car at home

Sean: I would say bring the S but isnt that like sacrilegious lol?

powermedic · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 21, 14, 12:08 »

Just dont drive your other "volkswagen" Alex

HyDrOPoNiC · « **Reply #20 on:** Mar 21, 14, 23:18 »

Haha well... it IS kind of the anti-volkswagen

but, better than not at all.
I'll see what's happening closer to the date.

Maxvw · « **Reply #21 on:** Mar 22, 14, 10:49 »

haha for sure man

CreationImperfect · « **Reply #22 on:** Apr 06, 14, 09:21 »

only 7 cars to sign up?
He gave and did so much for this community. There were 2 things he lived for, and this shit was one of them. He appreciated all cars, so come in what you have. He found so much beauty in a rusted stock VW, so bring your daily if that's all that's running. Even if you didn't get the chance to meet him, he loved getting new people out to meets and sharing his love for Volkswagen. This is probably the most welcoming event you could come to, so come enjoy the road with us.
Would also be nice to see some of his friends come who haven't made it out to one yet.
Dan probably wants the least amount of weight possible in his car to try and show up alex

, but still, there are two seats available in our car.

Maxvw · « **Reply #23 on:** Apr 06, 14, 11:33 »

well said!

and bring it on Dan

powermedic · « **Reply #24 on:** Apr 06, 14, 11:42 »

3 seats if you really want to cram in the back. Alex cant drive rear wheel so the more the merrier

craig · « **Reply #25 on:** Apr 06, 14, 12:11 »

I'm going to try and join up for the trip to cambell river. the berlin bullet LOVES the highway

Good thing I did a pre-trip! My rear tires are peppered with pin-pricks, plus a couple small nails, all leaking. Guess that's the downside of parking at Camosun behind the trades building... Too late to get a pair of tires, so I won't be making it this time.

Negative Karma · « **Reply #61 on:** May 31, 14, 15:31 »

Have a good trip guys & gals! I'll have to make a trip up later to visit.

Maxvw · « **Reply #66 on:** Jun 04, 14, 21:52 »

ah man thats shitty. we really need to try a redo on this cus it was an epic failure in pretty much every way

should we try again in a few months?Would anyone me into that?

well after some testing... bad rings and bad valves. I think it was fucked before turboing it and that just finished it off... never really ran 100% so... anyone have a vr6?

Scooby · « **Reply #74 on:** Jun 11, 14, 11:17 »

Does anyone want to throw a date for the 2nd try at the cruse?How about Aug 10?It's the week before the Great Canadian show,so everyone should have their cars up and running by then!
