Hi,

Weekends are always better for me with work etc but I think the 13th would work. I assume you wouldn't be 100% of that day until that week? Just want to give work enough time to get the day off.

Thanks.

Colin knows that it is with a very heavy heart that I have decided to pass on a visit this year. I look forward to our day together every year (and last year I even drove out to Oregon for a second visit).
ps - Colin, I will tell her you said so, but I'll whisper so that my bus does not get jealous.

Colin, I'm a new fan here. I own a 71 Super Beetle and I'm writing this while sitting in my '65 Camper, unwinding from the workday. As I see you have a cancellation, would you have a slot available for another east coast stop? I'm in NW New Jersey not far off Interstate 80. Please let me know if a days visit is possible and the best way to communicate.

Hello Stan. We can do Noo Joisy sometime around the 18th or 20th.
Please PM me with your list of concerns from most-important to least important, your mechanical aptitude, your work environment (is it rain-proof?), and your dreams for your VW.

Do you think you will do a run in 2013? Are you wintering in NY again?

Hey Colin,
We are moving to Durango Dec 1st and a casualty of our relocation is going to be my bus.
Not sure where you are at the moment, but if you're through this way and want to help me prep this thing for sale, give me a shout.

Durango, Colorado. We're here in Prescott until Dec 1-ish. I may end up transporting the bus to Durango, then working on it there. In the spring. When Durango thaws. :)

I'm still on the fence about selling it. I sort of promised someone I would. But either way, I'd like to get it in excellent running condition... to sell or to enjoy in Colorado, either one.

I may be able to do Prescott in mid-November. Working on a house-sitting gig in Utah over the winter.
