Volks, I’m trying to decide what VW shows I’m going to be able to get to this summer with my Copbug. I was originally thinking of making it over to the Texas VW Classic in April, but it’s a two-day trip each way so I changed my mind – actually, my wife changed my mind. So for now I’m looking at the Mid-America VW Fun Fest up in Effingham, IL. Does anybody have any experiences with that gathering? The sponsors say it’s a lot of fun. (Don’t they all?)
Aside from the competition, one of the joys I find in VW gatherings is getting to know many of you whom I’ve met here on The List over the years. It’s nice to have a face to associate with the name. Is anybody on this list planning to go to Mid-America on May 31-June 2? It’ll be a first for me. In recent weeks, I’ve gotten to “know” three other guys who have restored old police Volkswagens. We’re now swapping pictures and experiences, and one has sent me a trim part I needed. Just this morning I got a note from a guy in Austria who has a restored police-green 1967 Type 2 pickup – originally used by the Gendarmerie and with all the original police markings and equipment still intact. How cool is that? He’s in a bus club called the “Styrian Bustards.” Anyhow, your thoughts on good shows – especially Midwestern and Southeastern -- would be welcome.
