Welcome. That sounds like a lot of fun. Thats awesome that you get here before April 15th cause thats when our local show, Bug-a-Paluza, is. You'd be sure to find an air cooled VW there. Let us know when you get here and we'll be sure to get you hooked up with our club.

Do you already know where you are staying?

Do you still have the mail truck?  Those are pretty rare here in the states.  I've only seen one in person.
