Hi,

I live north of you in Cedar Grove. I have Daisy Bug, a 1998 yellow with daisy wheels and daisy graphics. I've attended all of the shows in Roswell, NM and plan on attending the Tail of the Dragon this April-May. I love my New Beetle but to keep her safe from all the salt that WI puts on the roads, I store her. I would love to get together with you for a cruise in the spring. Consider joining the Tail of the Dragon cruise.

i am so happy somebody finally responded to this thread, I am doing the same, unfortunetly late in the winter. I am purchasing a truck this week to keep Bridgette of the streets. I have considered joining the tod, but don't even know if i will make it to talimena this year due to a low budget (but it does keep going up). if you know anyother wis beetls owner, convince them to join the org.

Hey,
I am in Minnesota (Twin Cities area) and would like to join you guys if you have a get together in the spring - (that is if you dont mind a Minnesotan hanging with you).

I have a 2001 Techno Blue 1.8 Turbo - named BugOblu.

[huck731]

im hopin for a gtg in the spring or something like that, but there are not alot of people around here.

[gadgetguy1]

Sounds good to me - let me know if you do. I will try to tag a few Bug's here, maybe they too would like to join the org

[huck731]

I will let you know what goes on

Hi all -

Figured I might as well post up - been a lurker for awhile, but am in need of some help! Was on the VENOM forum since they are Milwaukee based (I think) - they referred me to this forum, so I joined up!

I've got a '98 NB I'm picking up later in the week - previous owner put it up over a high curbing and messed the rocker panel up on the passenger side, as well as cracked the front fender on the passenger side and busted the grille. She's a dirty beater right now, but drives straight and runs strong - couldn't pass up a bargain. Make a long story short, I am anticipating replacing the grille, front bumper and adding a set of side skirts.

Can anyone direct me to an aftermarket vendor for body kits here in our area? I've done a bunch of research and found on-line vendors like AIT, JP, JT, VIS and Extreme Dimensions; while these panels are relatively cheap, I'm having a hard time with the shipping charges - anyone have a clue where I might start?

Hope to be able to contribute once I get up to speed with the new Bug - used to ride to school in my buddy's Mom's '65 - bombed around a lot in my brother's '68 Squareback back in the day.

This is my first VW; this car just rocks - didn't have near as much fun in my 1968 Austin America or my rustbucket 1974 MG Midget - this Bug is much more refined than those two!

Thanks for having me!

Dave

Though we live in north eastern IL, we are minutes from Kenosha, and Milwaukee takes us about 40 mins. We're in WI quite frequently and would enjoy getting together with others!

[huck731]

i will deffinetly try to keep you updated, hopefully i can get hooked up with "venom" a vw club in the milwaukee area for some stuff, but it may be difficult because i may be working in richland center (closer to minnisota and iowa) over the summer

[evlpupy]

Here in Madison, would love to join a run someplace now that it's nice.

[huck731]

[evlpupy]

[huck731]

[evlpupy]

Oh, ok. Nope - you haven't found me yet =)

[huck731]

[evlpupy]

Well I will be on the west side today - I will be getting into line waiting for my iPad sometime before the mall closes.

[huck731]
