Some awesome history, Mike. I remember much mention of that trip but never got to see it in magazine form.

I hope the game is treating you well. Think you'll get a chance to make it out to the Tulsa VW show for a look-see? Hope you can make it!

Thanks for sharing the magazine article with us. Very cool story! Isn't that what prompted putting .orger screen names along the arches?

Awesome, Mike! I want you to know, that I will never forget the time I met you, then StudBug, Kenny and Dennis, and most of all, riding in my all time favorite New Beetle. I want to thank you for making it happen. :bowdown:

Hi Mad Mike! That was quite the trip you and the StudBug made only a few short yrs. ago! Yikes- nice rims!:eek: The StudBug is doing well here! Paul, our daughter Michelle and her boyfriend Brian, took him rallycross racing last weekend at Perry's Park in Leicester, NY (same place Karl Scheible raced him yrs. ago) and had a blast. Of course, Brian and Michelle beat Paul as usual! I didn't go along this time so I don't have pictures. There is a race in a few weeks and I will be going to that so I will take lots of pics and post them for all of you to see! The StudBug is a blast to ride in while driving on the NYS Thruway. People in other cars wave at us and there are many smiles when they see him!! Even a NYS Trooper drove up alongside, checked him out, then smiled and drove away!! WHEW!! haha! I'll keep you posted!:)
