| I'm Don and I'm new to the group. I grew up in Elk Grove although my home now in Fresno. I attend as many of the Nor Cal VW events as possible, along with shows in So Cal.
My current VW collection includes: 1956 European Ragtop (Coral Red) with a 4" narrowed beam. Recently a neighbors 1966 Squareback followed me home after sitting since 1981 - we're in the tail end of a complete mechanical restoration - the plan is to have my wife drive the Squareback and caravan to shows together. The SB is sporting all original paint and interior - with no pan rust. I think it'll be a safe fun ride for Kelly.
See you at the shows, Don | |

| Hey Don. Welcome! First off, you should know that my Holy Grail (for me anyway) is a Coral Red Oval Rag. So I can't wait to see your car. Just don't yell at me if a I get a little drool on it. Can't wait to meet you......but your car more importantly. j/k | |

| Thanks Greg, I'll be at the TRP swap later today, I'm trying to make some space for the squareback in the garage so I'm bringing a carload of stuff that wouldn't fit in the oval. | |

| Thanks guys - We had an awesome time last last night. I've attended every TRP event to date and they just get better and better. We sold a lot of swap stuff and should be able to get the squareback into the garage once it's gets released from the Dr.
See you at the next event. | |

| I never ended up running into you. I guess I wouldn't know though if I did or not. Which booth was yours? | |

| I was on the very end - closest to the sales flap bus - I had all the really good "treasures" for sale.
I hate not having a VW at events like that - no one ever knows who you are - but there was no way all that "treasure" would fit in my oval - and I bought even more stuff to take home - LOL.
I'm always at BOR and have been making all the TRP events - I'm sure we'll run into each other. | |
