Hangin' out with my fellow VW buddy Carl at his home shop

Another great thing about being in a car club is that one of them is bound to live nearby and when it's VW guys they're quick to call each other up and find any excuse at all to get together and hang out with their V-dubs. Carl invited me over and helped me out with some adjustments on the Bug. While I was there I got to check out his son's Baja Bug that he was changing the brakes on. That Baja had a lot of trick parts including a bus trans and a one off custom built shifter mount and shift linkage tube mounted in place. Neat! I also got a ride in Carl's sweet 1776 powered Bug complete with DVD player and surround sound. Nice ride! Once it started getting late we finished up playing with the timing on my bug and I headed back to the house a couple miles away. After I get back from my trip to China in a week Carl offered to help me convert my Bug from points over to electronic ignition - Can't wait!
