Except for Kammy of course, I ran into her over on the samba a few times
The funniest thing is my last (similar) post in this vein is still on this page a little further down......from two years ago ....I guess this particular forum doesn't move too fast........lol
What have I been up to? Well, as always, it involves cool VW's and Audi's
Had a couple UrS6's since Taz left the stable, a gorgeous 88 Westy that I just recently parted company with and my newest toy.... A 2004 Beetle Turbo S.....toys, toys, toys
Pics below (chronologically), but what's everyone been up too? I recognize a few names still
The latest
And of course, Taz (before we parted ways).....for those who forgot or never knew......

Re: Hi gang, long time no see (again)
Aside from the bus, there's some freaky similarity's going on here.
The wife's tired blue 99' beetle started falling apart, so we picked her up a 03' Turbo S Beetle
Then, last September my Jetta GLX spontaneously combusted in my driveway. At the end of October, I picked up an 02' A6 2.7t 6MT
Of course, we still have Crabby
But she hasn't seen the road in about a year. Hoping to take care of all her problems over the winter and into spring so she can be enjoyed.
Always glad to see ya stop by and I have to say I'm a bit jealous of the UrS6's. I really wanted an S4 but just couldn't find one that wasn't beat into the ground at the time so I picked up the A6 since it had the same motor and is a bit more plush on the inside. I really like the car, but find that I drive like a grandpa most of the time and rarely give it the beans. It's just so relaxing to drive I forget it has all that power.

Re: Hi gang, long time no see (again)
Hey Calimus, nice to hear from ya....definitely some similar trends going on here...lol. I like the black Turbo S
I could have bought Another UrS car, but I remembered why I sold mine after driving dad's around for a week or so.......that Inline 5 turbo has lots of power, but it's real thirsty.....
Can't complain about the mileage on the bug though, amazing how good they are given the performance level.....if I ever got another cabby it would have a 1.8t in it first mod......

If wasn't for that photo of your Westy against Taz's background, I would've assumed someone else happened to have the same username.
What have I been up to? Let's see, where do I start? I was going to take the Westy up to Montana (I'd be on the road right now, in fact) but things happened: My ex-uncle was murdered in Florida by his no-good, self-righteous then-soon-to-be ex-girlfriend (I've spent a lot of hours researching other people involved to keep my cousin from getting screwed over -- long, long story), my mom nearly had the tip of her finger pulled off in a rope, my web site host will no longer be supporting FrontPage (actually a good thing, gave me the push I needed to finally convert to better software), so I've been sitting in front of a computer all day every day for nearing two weeks. I did manage to get a short Westy camping trip in last week and won second place at a 90% American car show in the process.

Re: Hi gang, long time no see (again)
Geez Kamz, sorry to hear about all of that. Do let us know if there is anything we can do.
Speed - I don't know about that in line 5 (I haven't had a crack at one yet), but the bi-turbo 2.7 can drink with the best of them. Mine's chipped (as it the Turbo Beetle) and if I plant my foot, the speed-o goes one way and the fuel gauge goes the other, that's for sure. I do have the advantage of a 6th gear though, so I have seen as high as 28mpg on a highway run.
I so badly want to get the cabby out of the garage and let Kuk drive it, but we haven't had the funds to finish it up for a while now and the summer heat here has destroyed my wallet in the way of power bills. Almost $400 this month to keep my house at 80f. Such as life.

Re: Hi gang, long time no see (again)
Hey Speed, great to hear from you. I thought you were going to Fahrfromhome in May, but I guess you didn't make it. Even though you parted with Taz, I still love your toy collection.
Kama, I'm sorry to hear life is screwed around. I hope it all works out for you.
Hopefully this weekend I will get a chance to take some pictures of my two bunnies. The biggest problem is which one to drive
