Introduction

Here's my story -

My name is Dave Burden, 36 and living in metro Atlanta (Georgia, USA).  My 
wife is Diane and we have 2 kids, a daughter who is 6 and an 8 year old son.  
We moved down from NH 7 years ago, where I had been playing with VW (water
cooled) since 1979.  I was into various forms of motorsports with VWs, auto
crossing, time trials, hill climbs, ice racing and ultimately PRO Rallying 
with an '83 Rabbit GTI.

Diane had always wanted a VW Bug, but about 3 years ago she spotted a Squareback
on the way home with a For Sale sign on it.  She jotted down the phone number
and I called about the car that night.  After poking around the car that 
evening I plopped down a check and drove it home!  The Squareback is a '71,
4 speed, f/i, from the original owner.  There is some rust. but I've been 
fixing it bit by bit.

In addition to the '71 Squareback we also have an '83 VW Rabbit diesel
automatic(!), a 1958 BMW Isetta 300 convertible, a 1926 Studebaker Standard
Six hearse/estate wagon and a 1924 Studebaker Special Six touring car.
