Hello and thx Very nice to talk with some of you at the show and ver fun on the drive down , we had a good time glad I brought the sun shade . On the trip home after trying to stay ahead of Greg the Grey my car started to make weird noises coming from what I thought was the transmission , sounded like a bag of marbles . The sound got really bad but limped it home , and will try to diagnosis the problem. Don’t know how to add pictures here so …. Nice to see all Hey Brett, Nice chatting with you at the show too. Sorry to hear about your trans woes. At least you got home! Some hints on pics can be found here: miacvw.proboards.com/thread/960/post-big-juicy-pictures-imgurmiacvw.proboards.com/thread/1794/picture-hostingI think Rob S. uses something called Tapatalk... How many user IDs are you shooting for on the site? Seems to me one is OttoBus and I can't recall the other.... Cheers, Don

Back in the show proper, and here is Rob's fine '56. He had an uneventful trip down and back, so that is a good thing in an old VW! But wasn't it eventful at the show? What I mean to ask is, didn't Rob's ride come home with some sort of award? Maybe he'll post a pic? Given I was half asleep while posting those pictures, I completely forgot to mention that Rob did win a trophy for his sweet '56. He should post of picture of it here... Hint, hint!

Hopefully it wasn't leaning out. Suggest you pull your valve covers and check the oil inside for any sparkles.

Well, here it is, my Major Award! I was quite surprised by this. My bug was looking and running pretty good for me all day, so this was another highlight to a great day. The cruise was good. The show was good, and there were many amazing VW's My trophy is ingraved clear lexan, and the base changes colors, or I can pick a color I like. I added a black background so the colors pop. I will proudly display this until my wife returns home from her camping trip.

I made it home! The bus ran well, other than the generator light glowing at me out of the dashboard like an evil eye! Thanks to everyone for their usual support. I took the Mill Bay ferry back. We were told it was full and three vehicles ahead of me turned around, presumably for the Malahat (including Dave, owldlvr). They then surprised me with a space for my little bus parked sideways across the stern. After the ferry I only saw one other old VW - Dave as he blasted past me. Then Dave again at the traffic lights in Chemainus with bright orange flames shooting out of his exhausts! Very spectacular. I pulled off the highway and parked, thinking he was having issues and might need a push or maybe a fire extinguisher, but he was gone by the time I parked up. Lol, as soon as I turned around I realized "they are going to squeeze one more car on for sure..." Ah well, I was certainly able to make up the time! My ride home, though, wasn't as smooth as I would have liked. Thanks for stopping to help, sorry I hadn't realized that's what you were doing! I would have pulled over to let you know I was good, after figuring out fuel pump 1 and died. Switched over to #2, and I was all good.
