With that introduction, Ill kick off the current fund drive for VWTYPE3.org!! I had a paypal account quite some time ago for my Radio hobby but stopped using it for that because of the time delay, let me look into getting it up and running again or a new one in the next few days. For now you can send donations to me at: Keith Park 31 Barkwood Ln Clifton Park NY 12065 Please mark "VWTYPE3.org" somewhere on the check and include your email address so I can let you know that I got it. Greg, when you can please let me know what the yearly costs are as of now and how far in the hole we are so I can get a spreadsheet togeather and know what I need to strive for. Ill let everyone know when I Paypal is going... I need to get my Butt off the Opel list again and clean out my inbox first.
