When you sleep, do you dream of bus stuff? Do you find yourself thinking of
responses to emails about bus stuff in the middle of the day? Do you wake up
remembering you have to get back to someone about bus stuff? Do sewing machines
take on the charactor a bus all of a sudden? "If I adjust this screw just a
little bit. . .."
There's a group out there for you: Bus Supporter Anonymous, otherwise known as
B.S. anon..
I urge you to find help. Join B.S. today.
Who knows, you might even find that '51 tail light you've been looking for.

I first got into the VW thing (this time) was right about the same time I got
into the whole interweb thing. I would spend hours and hours on RAMVA.
(rec.auto.makers.volkswagen.aircooled) The news group,these days I don't even
have a news reader. It is now all over on google:
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.autos.makers.vw.aircooled? lnk=oa&hl=en
I also miss the HVWC email list, but after Don died it was pretty boring
anyway. It went away when HVWC went to a forum:
http://hvwc.org/
These days there seem to be way to many forums:
http://austinaircoolers.com/forum/index.php
http://dallasaircoolers.com/vwforum/
http://bayareavwclub.10.forumer.com/
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/
http://www.sluggoproductions.com/iac/ (all the baywindow guys from theSamba
after Colin got mad)
http://lovemybus.com/smf/index.php
http://www.fullmoonbusclub.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum.php
That is the list I have, I am sure there ore a bunch more. I try to check every
day or so. I have them bookmarked, auto log in, RSS,list new posts sence last
visit, and the whole thing, but it still takes a bunch of time.
There are some other lists that I am on as well:
http://wetwesties.type2.com/
http://www.buskatiers.org/
The type2 and vintage bus lists at:
http://www.type2.com/
I am on both the T2 and VB lists, the traffic on the VB list has really dropped
off in the last couple years, I think most of those guys have moved to
theSamba.
The T2 list is still fairly active, but nothing like it was a few years ago.
And a couple more that are not bus related. So you can tell that I spend way
too much time reading forums and email.
This list came about when Katrina and I went to Ennis, checked into a hotel,
then went to recon the route to the track. While driving around we ran across
the Texas Airheads heading to the park where they planned to camp. (
http://www.texasairheads.com/ ) I found out later that there were 2 or three
different groups camping out different places around Ennis. I took it on myself
to try and form a "list" like the Type2 or BSKA list that I was on for us.
Originally I tried to get one or two people from each club around the state,
later we just tried to get every bus pilot we could find on the list. I
understand that for some of the new people it seems overwhelming at first. With
the tools we have on the list that G2 mentioned we should be able to make
everyone happy. If you have read this far, thanks, and now you know how we know
a little about how we got here. Like I said before, if someone wants to build
a forum for the TCB I will be all for it, but can't do it.
p.s. G2 and Denis are not the only ones here that post more than anyone ever
wanted to know............................
