Attached are pictures from our GTG today. Great to see those who showed up, GINA (Gina and Greg), TechnoTrix'd (Robert and his two daughters) and SMOOCHYS Driver (Peg and sorry forgot your name! ) Phantom302 wasn't able to show. Dunno what happened to BeetleCouture, hopefully, she's ok. Sorry some of y'all missed it, we had prime rib roast, Rachel Rays' beef stew with mashed potatoes, sweet potato & marshmellow casserole, green beans & garlic, rice & bean coconut dessert and a chocolate treat (forgot the name )from Peg. Peg also brought some soda since I didn't have any.

Peg's car looks awesome. Lots of nice mods. Last picture has Gina's bulb on the outside, melted! Oh, I forgot to mention Gina did bring the Wii, yay! Next GTG hopefully, she'll also bring the power cord!

Looks like a fun time. That NB is sweet! And I can not believe Gina actually forgot the power cord! What a dufus (actually sounds like something I'd do )

X-Box mania. BTW, do not EVER let Gina drive your R32. We have the proof on what she does with one...

Technical note here. Make sure when you are grinding that you wear the appropriate foot-wear.

See Q demonstrate the proper "above-ankle" type "SLIPPERS" that one should be wearing when working on a car...

Picture of the special VAG Tool required to keep the shifter unit in place while adjusting the cables... (it's a 10D nail, btw..)

I'm telling Larry a story, but I will let you make your own conclusions...

Teamwork is the key. Hard part is done, letting Q "close" the patient..

Anybody seen my watch?

Q "finally" getting his goodie bag from NBeast '07. Speedy deliver..

Ton of fun everyone, thanks again goes out to Q for opening up his house to us and for doing such a wonderful job with the dinner..

Merry Christmas everybody...

Ok, that is just wrong. I told you that GREG forgot the cords! I couldn't unhook mine because they were all bound real tight behind my entertainment center, so I told him to bring everything except the actual Wii. Which he did. And proceeded to leave it in his car at my parent's house.

Q, thank you so much for opening up your house for all of us and cooking a really yummy lunch I appreciate it tons. It was great seeing everyone!

Awesome pictuers! Glad it was a good GTG.
Y'all put in the diverter valve, I'm guessing?

Negative. We tried to install a short shifter I've had sitting around, but apparently it's for a Golf, not a Beetle

I put in the DV all by myself months ago, thank you!
