I took the time and archived his entire website front to back. Lots of widsom in those pages. I miss him and will never forget his Grendel postings which I witnessed live back in the day. :)

Making them into a searchable html site would be cool.

I"ve been lurking from almost the beginning when it was text only. In fact, I forget what you called that already. anyway, I have saved a lot of the Hoover sermons. I'm not sure if there is already such a place, but it would be cool if there was a website I could upload it too, instead of keeping it stored away. 11 years ago, I had to give up my 1776cc, '71 bug that I mostly built with the help of this list and the Hoover sermons. One day I will get another, although I'd really like one of those crew cab pickups or a van this time.

A 68 Rallye Yellow on black Convertible bug and a nice Porche Silver Karmann Ghia Convertible with a John Connolly Mexican Long block. Loved Bill May's help and guidance in restoring my two VWS. Another Guy , lest we forget was Bob Hoover. He is the author of the Hoover Sermons, which cover just about everything VW. He passed a few years ago from Multiple Myeloma, and blogged up until he could'nt. Another great resource. I highly recommend getting ahold of those sermons in whatever way you can. Wonder if they are still out there on the internet on a server some where???? Anyhow, I had a nice 66 Mustang convertible drop my way reasonably and 4 months later I have a great looking and running car with antifreeze for blood.

I'll never forget a photo montage he created for me made up of pictures from the VW factory in Wolfsburg (1950's era), along with a narrative that implied the character in his story was me.

His email changed when they switched internet carriers which is probably why his posts dropped off. I bought and daily drive one of his 67 beetles.
