Tell me about your first VW. Mine was a '65 tan Beetle that I bought in California. By the time my friend drove it back east for me it had lost its front bumper.

It's great to have you on board! I am looking forward to great photos (and maybe videos) of your favorite VWs, as well as others of different "wheels" and events you enjoy. It is good to write about your "wheels" adventures on the blog, as we all enjoy stories from our members. Also, please tell me more (or write a blog!) about SoutheastVW. Is it a club or a group?
One of the real strengths of our website is the feature that any member can add events whenever they find one that we have overlooked! You do not have to "submit" through emails or the postal service, etc.
Please invite your family and friends as this helps the site grow and improves your social network communications. Add me as a site Friend, too, and I will keep you up to date on announcements and special events.
Sincerely,
Mike Thies
PS I love VWs. It used to be PunchBUG when I was a kid.
