For those not on the PA Vanagon mailing, a few of us in eastern PA (and some
from adjoining states) are getting together for an informal breakfast to talk
VW and maybe set up some future technical sessions.  We'll be at the Pennsburg
Diner on Rt. 663 (right off the Quakertown exit of the PA Turnpike NE Extension
[I-476]), Saturday, Nov 13 at 9:30AM - ?  "We" could be as few as 2...I have no
idea who's interested in coming.

If you're interested in joining the mailing list, which is mostly for local
events, etc. go to

and sign up.  It's a very low volume list.

The idea of technical sessions comes from Larry and Avery Johnsons in Canada
who had a similar Saab owners' club.  I hope to particularly get non-technical
people the confidence to do some wrenching themselves, or at least know what's
going on so they can't be snookered by dishonest mechanics.

I figure we could meet at someone's house for these sessions (and/or maybe the
Bus Depot if Ron lets us) and see/help some work being done.  Ideas include a
tour of the engine compartment, gas line replacement, cap & rotor, ignition
wires, the Digitool, etc.  I'll also be getting a used 2.1L engine on which I
want to do the headgaskets while it's out of the vehicle.

E-mail me if you think you might come.
