Don't get me started about Ennis, Yes, I'm going again. I will not be taking the Hoochiemama,(she's resting after her trip to Arkansas,) I can't decide to show Captain Otto or not. I personally enjoyed Eureka Springs. The Texas Classic was cool. and I ALWAYS enjoy the HVWC night show, which is coming up Saturday night September 25th at Fuddruckers Hwy 290 and Pinemont. P.S. Ronnie I tried to call you yesterday, phone no longer in service? feel free to e-mail me your number, and I'll call you. Thanks... ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Mark Sawyer <mechmark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2004 17:34:18 -0700 (PDT) >As a matter of fact, I carry 3 tool kits, enough spare parts, I can get most any one back on the road, short of a rod hanging out of the block. Been dealing with VW's for about 28 years and I know what a pain in the backside they can be. I have rescued more than 1 VW off the side of the road. I run electronic ignition but still carry points and condenser for whoever needs them. At Eureka, the electrical box I carry came in handy when Ronnie's brake lights decided to quit working. always helps to carry wire and connectors. anytime someone needed help or advice I am always available. --- Mark S. aka "The Vanagon Guy". > >Denis <coocoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >I don know nuffin' bout that ECU stuff, but if I need a 7mm nut driver, I >bet he'll have it. > > > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Dan Martin" >To: >Sent: Thursday, September 09, 2004 6:49 PM >Subject: [tcb] Re: Ennis has lost all it's luster > > >> I heard that! >> Any guy that carries not 1 but 2 spare ECUs is the kinda guy we need to >> go with us. >> We would love to go to Jerome or Albuquerque next year! >> >> On Sep 9, 2004, at 6:27 PM, Denis wrote: >> >> > Whether any show is deemed watercooled or aircooled you need to come >> > as a >> > support vehicle.
