Kris, it's too bad we missed you. We were all over the show yesterday, so we may have been out in the swap meet area when you stopped by the car. Toby and I photographed many of the type III parts in the swap area, so look for our report coming up. There were only 3 type III's entered in the show, and Toby walked away with the first place plaque. We were all disappointed that the show didn't give a longest distance award, so we gave Toby the "self-proclaimed" long distance award. I'll put pics up when I get a chance, there was a nice green '71 fastback and a primed early notchback in the show. We also got to meet Luis Pieretti - he had some fan shroud problems, so he was unable to drive his T-III to the show. Also, we bombed everyone who would listen with the info for vwtype3.org and the e-mail list, so we should be expecting some newbies soon. I got most of a fuel injection system (everything but the ECU and Manifold sensor) for $25 in the swap meet area, and there were some other type III goodies there as well. Overall, I really had a great weekend hanging out with Big Al, Toby, and Travis (the navigator). I highly recommend taking any opportunity to meet other listees, it's hilarious to see somebody's face (like, um, maybe Toby's) when you ask them if there type III is a Volvo wagon - after the combined shock of the blatantly stupid question and the fact that a total stranger knew who his name, I don't think Toby, Travis and I stopped laughing the rest of the weekend!
