The Spring Aircooled Therapy Event will be held at the VW Barn in Clermont, Georgia, May 5-7. Y'all are invited to attend and spend whatever time you can wrenching on yours or others' VWs, enjoying good food, listening to good music and spending time in the company of friends, new and old!
For those who have not attended our events in the past, the VW barn offers two work areas that allow simultaneous work on up to 7 different vehicles, under cover and on concrete. So, whatever the weather throws at us, work can progress on projects large and small. We also have separate enclosed work areas, engine stands and tables available for rebuilding engines, carburetors, etc. Thanks to the generosity of many people, the barns are well lit with overhead LED lighting installed by Chris Townsend and Otto VeeDub’s dad.
Equipment available includes jacks and jack stands, a MIG welder and large air compressor for air-powered tools. We have a multitude of hand and VW specialty / test tools that have been donated by Clyde Maddox, Michael Taylor, Jeff Patterson, Pete Hankins, Nathan Williams, Patrick McGuire, Ben Gresham and others.
For those who like to camp in your buses or tents, we have a large level arena complete with fire pit for evening festivities.
Kids and Dogs (on leash) are welcome!
Menu - Stay tuned for more specifics about the food.
What can I bring? All those attending are encouraged to bring breakfast/snack items, a side dish, chips/dip or dessert (Rhonda Townsend - we are talking your wonderful tiramisu here! I’ll be bringing several Dutch overs for some dessert and breakfast treats. Pretty sure I can talk John Lehmberg into bringing his homemade ice cream maker too.)
BYOB!
Last word - We REALLY need an accurate head count to ensure we have enough food available for everyone, so please register your attendance in the dropdown above. If life happens and you aren't able to attend, just change your plans in that same dropdown. (This also helps us avoid eating leftovers for the next month!)
If you have any questions, just post them in the discussion here or PM me.
Covid Info - Most of the hosts have had our vaccines. Please wear masks or social distance to your comfort level and respect those with different comfort levels. (It’s hard to stay 6 feet apart when you are wrestling a VW engine in or out of a vehicle!)
We look forward to seeing you and providing an environment where you can complete work on your VW as well as have a great time with like-minded people!
As always I want to give a huge thank you to Bruce and Kathy for all their time and effort that goes into this every 6 months. I get far too much credit for these. I just came up with the idea of getting together but Bruce and Kathy took the idea and ran with it and created an amazing “clubhouse” of sort for us to get together and really make it happen. Thank you.

1958 Porsche 356 Speedster
The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models. Originally introduced in 1954 at the urging of U.S. importer Max Hoffman, the Speedster was designed to be a low cost, lightweight, stripped-down entry sports car that could double as a weekend racer, especially for the California sports car scene. With its low windshield,…

1948 Rover P3 Saloon
The 1948 Rover P3 Saloon marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of British motoring. Introduced in the immediate aftermath of World War II, the P3 was a bridge between prewar craftsmanship and the modern engineering ethos that would come to define Rover’s future. Although its styling retained many traditional elements, including an upright grille, separate fenders, and rear-hinged front…

With car shows, cruise-ins, tours, parades and varied events across the country, car clubs continue to bring enthusiasts together for camaraderie, preservation, and celebration of automotive history. But behind the scenes, many of these clubs are hitting a serious speed bump: no one wants to take the wheel. Volunteer-run clubs are facing an increasingly common…

Why It’s Hard to Recruit Younger Members to Volunteer Car Clubs, and How to Fix It
Car clubs have long been the social engine of the collector car world, bringing people together to swap parts, plan road trips, attend shows, and preserve automotive history. But in recent years, many volunteer-run car clubs have struggled with a pressing problem: recruiting and retaining younger members. The concern isn’t just about numbers, it’s about sustainability.
