just saw the post and decided to add to the thread. moved here from Cocoa Florida about a year ago, now living in Cajah's Mtn. between Granite Falls and Lenoir. Some of you may have seen me driving around in my red single cab or blue and white 21 . If you guys decide to try and get together count me in.

Hell my mechanic lives in Cajahs Mtn. and I'm there all the time but I've yet to see you or your rides. I live on the Connelly rd. about a 1/2 mile past the loop.

Hey Guys, the wife and I moved from Vero Beach, Fl. to SC in 2002, here to Hickory a year ago. Planning on being at the transporter show. Maybe we can join in the convoy as ya'll come down 321? Moth did you get stopped in the road buy a guy in a yellow car in Hickory, if so, that was I.

If you don't mind the 3-hour drive from where you are, Aubrey Watson's in Orangeburg, South Carolina, has lots and lots of air-cooled Volkswagens.

be better for everyone to meet up in the newton/conover area somewhere and go down hwy16. trust me i lived in conover and worked in charlotte the first year and a half here. i tried all routes. all are about teh same time wise but the drive down 16 is easier. i try and avoid gastonia like the plague, but i had to go that route today going to fort mill. the roads in that area are horrible and only getting worse.

if you wantted you could avoid all the big roads and cut up through mooresville and what not but just don't let it be a race weekend...ken....

Yeah that's him but I don't mention his name since he usually has more work than he can handle. But for anyone here I'd give him up. :)
It wasn't me Tom it was some other unsuspecting soul.
Well I won't make the transporter show but I was thinking about North/South. The bugs on Volkswagen Hill and I'm going by there in the morning to see how things are going.

Thanks BugsnPugs, I have family down in the Low Country so I'll stop there in the future.

Alrighty then BusGuy, keep your eyes peeled for a blue and white bus, the two tone divide slants from high in the back to low at the front, Westfalia I think. He said he also has a 68 at home. That's all the time we had to talk.

We're planning to go to the races in Mooresville this Sunday. Anyone planning to be there?

Fri May 04, 2007 8:12 pm

Dangit...I'm on the wrong side of the state.

Fri Jun 08, 2007 12:08 pm

hey y'all - I am finally getting all settled in up here, learning my way around, etc...and been pleasantly surprised to see a few ACVWs running around.
Anyway, if folks still want to meet up one evening for some beverages/food/conversation, I'd love to get together sometime.

Fri Jun 08, 2007 12:48 pm

Count me in.

I think I just found this guy this morning, (posted a few pics in the rusty VWs thread in readers rides) driving around in that area - close to 321, off a little side road...pretty cool place, and he's really cool - we talked for a bit...I want to go back on the winter when you can see everything and take more pics...
anyway, I'm down for a meeting any evening after 6:30 or so...

Does anyone here own the orange bug (apparently broken down) on the side of I-40 this afternoon? My work has finally slowed down and can get together any time my schedule permits. The schedule changes every week though.

Yeah Keiths really a good guy. The blue(some call it green) bug up by the camper and his 65 and 63 is mine. Apparently I'm storing it there so he'll have something to cruise around in if he feels like it. :D
Hell if I could save some money I'd be cruisin it around. hahaha

EDIT: After looking at the pics you posted it looks like you found Roberts place in Happy Valley, up behind the church. I personally don't deal with him but alot of people around these parts does.

Just found this thread, glad to hear about someother vw's in hickory. Thought I was the only one. Where are you guys hiding? :D

I saw the orange bug on I-40 also, hope he got it home yesterday

huh, you're right, so that means there's yet another shop & Beetle Yard I have to be on the lookout for.
:)
I didn't see the Beetle on 40, but I usually take back roads around...I've driven the crew cab to work a few times, but usually use the silver diesel rabbit to get around...I see ACVWs from time to time...
but I'm pretty much free most evenings as long as we can plan a few days ahead...

Fri Sep 21, 2007 6:15 pm

Update, that bug was gone this afternoon.

Bump this thread... funny how it changed from junkyards to Local VWers in the area...

There are quite a few in the area...

who lives off Falling Creek rd. with the Red / white Bay?
