Volkswagen electric car sales plunge as Europe returns to petrol

Thank God! Maybe the world is waking up a bit.

See you tonight?

Me: “Sure, but I’ll probably be in the Eurovan or the Golf”

Glenn: “Those aren’t real VWs, they don’t build real VWs anymore - that’s why I bought a Subaru!”

Spoke to Brad, Andrea, Jim, and Rick. Everyone is in.

I’m still on for tomorrow. We still good to go?

Ok, so as to keep this "near the top" - if you are planning to join for the Kickoff you need to pre-register. Their process is ancient but it is what it is... Print and mail completed application & check payable to “SCC” to: SCC KICKOFF, 165 Oak Street, Medford, NY 11763 Make sure to p...

An old, old dial up modem.
C’mon… lol
I think we’ve reached the point in our lives where you are the oldest thing I don’t understand!

And here you thought I was too young to get the reference!

Well folks - it finally happened! On a recent trip south to Florida for No Dough Weekend I had reached out to the owner of a frame I've been chasing for years... Y E A R S to ask if he was ready to let it go. We kept in touch through the weekend and on my way back north to New York we detoured in Ro...

Happy Birthday Ed, miss you man!

Do they have internet there?

Great. I’m on my way back up from FL. I’ll get mine in as soon as I’m back home.

As the absolute authority on being a "nobody" I hereby authorize you to use the DasVolks name to register us as a camping group.

You don’t need a Green Key, but you do have to pre-register. Since Tom and Ronnie are familiar, I’m going to see if they’re willing to register first and then the rest of us who want to go just put the same group name. I don’t know much more than that but I’ll message their club’s President on FB an...

Thanks Rob. It needs more work, but my ADHD impulse seemingly passed for now.
No, but really. I have some more to do and want to give the site its own identity - right now it’s just sporting a copy of what I have on my other site for play.

Burgerology is a good spot, and right around the corner from Straight Pat’s. I’m in!

Gauging interest in the Suffolk County Committee for Camping’s annual “Kick Off” event held May 17-19 at Cathedral Pines campground. We loosely discussed this “replacing” Buses by the Big Duck and a few people seemed willing to go. This is the same weekend as Dubs in the Shrubs, and if we’re plannin...

Leaving for Florida that morning.
Is there anything good scheduled to be there this year? The last few years have been “meh”

Given the options - as abrasive as you are - we're glad for it...

Just looked back at this photo while cleaning up here.
Sad to think half the guys in this photo are gone...

It's safe...

I also went back through the old event threads - and saved any photos which weren't marked by photobucket.
Once things here are fixed, I'll put an album up somewhere so we don't lose them.

Guys, a little help here would be huge... I need to prune down the size of the board - 10 years in we just have so much stuff in order for me to do what we need, I would need to chop it up (conservatively) into about 5 - 6 still very large files. There are some threads I simply don't want to lose - ...

It’s been literally years since I’ve put any effort to the site, and it shows. As the Gruppe got smaller and we all got older it was less and less important to keep up with the Joneses and the forum became more of a group text message for us all to keep in touch and maintain some involvement with on...

Was a cool day, but for sure the wait was brutal. I since we were literally the last ones in line no reason we couldn’t have pulled in later and parked behind everyone. That parking lot was a clusterfuck. Would be open to doing this again next year if we plan better and get some sort of a tailgate g...

Really wish all these cool looking redesigns and retro inspired designs were optioned with ICE engines. I prefer the old scout, but a modern interpretation might be cool. The Rivian R3X is awesome looking, and I might be interested in the Buzz if it wasn’t electric. One day, we won’t have a choice, ...

Absolutely planning on going into town to get something. We’ll find parking somewhere, we may have to walk a bit. It is what it is!
