New Photos on the Club Site - Club Night, March 2010

Sometimes holding the monthly meeting of the Wasatch Vintage Volkswagens Utah VW Club on the second Wednesday of the month kind of bites us in the butt. For example, March 10, 2010, was considerably colder than the previous Wednesday, and next Wednesday promises to be warmer as well. Actually, we do the whole Daylight Savings thing this weekend, setting our clocks forward an hour so that 7:00 p.m. next Wednesday will feature considerably more sunlight than did last night. So last night we got bit. Some would say frostbit. It was cold, to the point where a Billings native might even reach for a jacket...

In spite of the chill, we've seen something of a resurgence in attendance over the past few months that warms my heart. Some parts of the country may not get too excited over ten air-cooled VWs in the same place at the same time, but since the Wasatch Classic VW Show only comes around once a year I have to get my fix where I can.

Should I be surprised that the person improvising a hot tub using a plastic pool has an air-cooled V-Dub parked close by?

The Wasatch Vintage VolksWagens Creed

This was originally on the OLD (2003) version of the WVVW web site, and was recently found and posted to WVVW's Facebook Group page by Laura Gilchrist:

We're not here to solve the world's problems with superior German engineering or march toward global air-cooled domination.

Whether you are a Volks-Nut convinced that the Creator of the Universe drives a '63 ragtop (and that nothing water-cooled is worth spitting on...) or you simply can't escape the shackles of I'd-buy-something-else-but-I'm-stuck-with-it-till-it's-dead-and-it-JUST-WON'T-DIE, or anything in between, our "agenda" is simple:

This car is part of our lives.

We get together and whine about clutches going out. We get together to laugh about getting clocked doing 60 and being genuinely amazed about it.

We get together to drive.

And although it's the old Volkswagen we love, we won't turn you away just because you're not fortunate enough to have one. If you can show up and bring a love for classic, German aircooled automobiles-for-the-people, we want you there.

--I found this in my dad's incredible paper stack of doom (a place where you can't find anything you need). Not sure who wrote it, but I thought it belonged here.

Mark your calendar: July 17, 2010 will be the date of the twelfth annual Wasatch Classic. As always, we'll be at Pioneer Park on Provo.

High Time for Something to Do with Utah VWs

Doctor Dave goes web surfing for YOU! I got an e-mail from the Vintage German Motors proprietor a little while ago (last week, was it?), and since I am the consummate e-mail responding, on-top-of-things dude, I'm just now telling you about it. The link I got from Dave pointed to the discussion on the Kustom Coach Werks site about a downright interesting customization. It ain't pretty much, but I could sure use it on MY street.
