The drive to the show was nice, but we had to keep it at 100-115 kph because of some minor issues with Bryan's motor. Just wanted to be safe.
The show was lacking in VW's and Porsches (probably only about 20 cars there) but the weather was awesome and the facilities were top notch, could easily accomodate atleast 100 cars. Allan brought his 914 V8 conversion on a trailer and got the engine fired up towards the end of the show. An LT1 with open headers sounds incredible People keep complaining about the lack of VW shows in the GTA, and when someone steps up to the plate to put one on, nobody shows up .... this really pisses me off At least Bryan, Allan and I showed our support. The drive home was interesting as buddy in his Escalade thought he'd ride right on my bumper at 140 kph on the 401. A stretch of open road later and buddy was a speck in the rear view mirror About 20 minutes later, buddy rides my bumper again ... Bryan, I hope you made it home OK. Sandeep |

Heya Sandeep,
I made it home fine, aside from the messyness of an oil leak, the new engine runs great. The leak shouldnt be a problem much longer, I think I got the problem figured out. Bry

Pete,
No problem .. All, Lets have a meet for the 30th then ... where do you want to meet ? Perhaps another location rather than Oakville if only a few of us are going to be there. I need to chat about EFI fuel systems ... I've got my manifolds almost complete, just need to build my surge tank, mock up the turbo and wire in the Megasquirt/EDIS Sandeep |

30th sounds good. How about in the plaza at Mississauga Rd and 401. Its on the way to work for me as i am on the graveyard shift, close to you Sandeep, and just north of Pete (Btljus).
I think there's a Boston Pizza in there...... You guys interested in?: 2005 VAPer BBQ "Back to the Basics" - Sep. 11th http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2146738

Sorry Guys, I'll be away on business again.
Between work and only being home on the weekends there is not a lot of time left for the bug. Hell, I just had a week vacation and I only got to work on the car for maybe 4 hours... Shoot some pics at the meet though... the BAG site needs an update. I have a copy of the site, send me the pics and I'll see if I can update it while in the hotel. Rob. |

I'll bring my tripod/camera.
