Kalamazoo/Grand Rapids area??

[HwDoYuSlpAtNite]

Anyone else from around there? My husband and I try to do monthly GTG's with another board that's for general VW's... would be kinda cool to either get one started for this forum, or maybe combine them both... and have one big GTG.

Anyone interested?

Hey, I'm in. Trying to get the Michiana area thing going, got a few people interested, but i guess theres a big old fort one down in fort wayne, IN. I'd be in, depending on the date. Like i said in the other post, i work on saturdays at the speedway, so i couldn't make it then until it's after racing season. But, Let me know!

Sounds like fun but most square vw drivers don't like our cars for some odd reason. Like theirs are better or something.

[HwDoYuSlpAtNite]

LOL

Well if they don't wanna join us... we'd have more fun without them anyways. :D

[HwDoYuSlpAtNite]

Ft. Wayne is 4 hours away from me... so it would take some planning to be able to make it to that one. Mostly, to make sure I have the $$ for gas to go down there, and probably somewhere to stay cause I'm lazy and wouldn't want to drive 8 hours in one day. LOL

Thats cause our cars are better......:D ;) :cool:

JK we have one beetle in the group already...make that two now.
I/we have been slacking a little on the Gtgs here the last couple of month for various reasons. But it would be cool to get them back going. even if I was the only "square" Dub there.

My "square" Dub fo kicks

You guys didn't let him scare you away did you? I can just beat him up for you. :D

Depending on notice, I could probably convince the hubby to head over to the west side or to meet in the middle somewhere...:)

I think you are like the 2nd person here I've seen who lives in Gobles. Small town, small world I guess. My sister-in-law lives out there with her husband and their 3 kids. My wife and I were out there in May for a visit.

Didnt take the Bug because it was in the middle of some engine work, probably a good thing because we hit a deer at 10:30 PM up around Big Rapids on the way out there. That was a long drive from that point on. Luckily our minivan made the rest of the trip without issue.

Nice area out there...more rednecks than I'm used to though. :p

[HwDoYuSlpAtNite]

LOL
Yes... a very redneck area. :D

Second person from Gobles, besides me and Wilky? That's my husband.
Glad the minivan made the rest of the trip ok... and glad it wasn't the bug

[wilky]

Too many tweakers too. Yup Imma her husband and stuff

[Lnzbug]

What the heck is a tweaker?
Hi HDYSAN's hubby :wave3:

That's alot of beetles for a smaller town.

Posting here as well... in case nobody's paid attention to the "West Michigan get together" or whatever it's titled... post. ROFLMAO

We were originally trying to make a meetup for Crusiers in Portage... but since so far only one person had replied from this forum... changed it to mine and Wilkys house for a cookout. Burgers and corn on the cob and his special potatoes, oh my! *hungry now* We live in Gobles, about 20 minutes west of Kalamazoo.

What say you?? PM me or Wilky if you want to come, and will be needing directions. :D

August 14th???????
lol

Labor day is this weekend.. which still isn't sept 14th... but yeah. LOL What day for sure? If it's THIS weekend.. very big chance we won't be able to make it. We will be in Tennessee. But we might be on our way back home if it's that Monday.

[FLYTDI00]

Sorry The date should have said the 31st not the 14th. Apparently I can't type when I'm tired. Sorry to hear you can't make it but your welcome to stop by on Monday if you want.

You think Jake would come too?? How'd his Surgery go anyway?

[FLYTDI00]

Jake will be there if he doesn't have to work. He'll probably want to call in sick if he does, just so he can come.

[FLYTDI00]

Jakes surgery went okay but he'll still have to have more. Their waiting til December to see how its healing before doing more. By the way, Happy Anniversary.

Hopefully ya'll will have another GTG in the spring sometime. I used to live in Michigan. Actually lived in Gobles for a few years. Anyway, I still have family up there and my boyfriend and I were plannin' on a visit in the spring. Would love to meet VW owners from my home state! Let me know, keep me posted, we'll see what happens.

Wow... not often you run into someone who knows where Gobles is... much less actually LIVED here. LOL Wonder if we knew each other in any small way. More likely you'd know my husband, he has lived here longer than I did. :)

I would hope we'd have get togethers sorted by spring, but even if not, we can make a special one when we know that you will be here. :D Heck, even if it's just us. LOL

[MichelleRoze]

Anyone planning a GTG in the spring time? My boyfriend is anxiously awaiting our arrival to Michigan. (he's even pushing for February...but I'm not sure if he realizes what he's getting into) I'd love to meet with some NB owners while I'm up there. I think it would be fun.

HwDoYuSlpAtNite, if you or your husband went to Village Market at any time in 2005, you probably saw me. I was a cashier! :) Then moved on to Bangor Veterinary Clinic which was a sister clinic to the Gobles Veterinary Clinic. So, i'm sure we've ran into each other a time or two. lol I just didn't have the NB then. I had a rusty old Pontiac Bonneville with Nascar displayed on the windshield and rubbin' is racin' on the side windows. lol

[FLYTDI00]

Welcome back to Michigan. Our group has several GTG's during the year. We'd love to meet you. We'll keep you posted on times and places.:)
