Memory Lane. :) Oct '93 was when the list migrated to SJSU (from [email protected] where Darren Gibbons was the list owner). Trivia note: back then the list ran (on a mainframe!) via the BITNET network which limited mail addresses to 8 characters, hence the missing 'e' in VintagVW.
The VintagVW family has been a fun group to support. Looking forward to the continuing stories and knowledge on Google Groups! - John -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Saturday, November 10, 2012 4:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [vintagvw] VintagVW Will be Moving Nov 13 (Evening) Thanks from me as well John. I recall seeing the picture of a new Mexican body being transported by NQ soon after I joined. Bill May has been an invaluable source of information and a great friend ever since meeting him here.

It's gonna be different seeing the googlegroups.com address on the end and not the sjsu.edu address right out of Silicon Valley! :) Thanks so much for updating us on this John. VintagVW has been the list that started it all for me back as early as 1995/1996. I was just a few years out of high school then and here I am a 41 year old married man. :) It's been quite a ride. Thanks for keeping the engine running...
