There has suddenly become a Air Cooled VW awakening in Abilene Texas. Some of you might remember me from a while back. I used eat, breath, yada, yada VW.
Anyway change in life outlook, family health i been out of the scene for a while.I just found out some Bugs have been spotted in Abilene...my home town.
I found out they been meeting a few times and started a club up...Abilene Aircooled. I showed up at a meet and greet this evening at an event where the
American Heart Association was having a 60's theme event (in the civic center)and the Aircools were invited to come hang out. Cool! I took a few pics before it got too dark.
Hope you enjot them...

This Turbo Bug belongs to a guy named Tristan who used to work for Art at ACE...




So what have i been doing? Don't click on link unless extremely right wing...

Nice pics!!!
That link looks like a pic of my office gun cabinet all laid out on the floor... except my thing is the AK, instead of the AR. I've been shooting more than playing with VWs lately myself... Shot 700 rounds today!

James, that's not right wing, that's fun and taking care of the home front.

I shot a million rounds of .223 or 5.56 NATO as we used to call, sure you and Jake have also.

BTW, I'm with Jake, I love the AK weapons and the 7.62 X 39

FUNNY Looks like what sits between my mattress and box-spring! But I am an AK man also! Although I love my mini-14.  My other project is a .45-70 Govnt chambered ak based on a Saiga .410... cost about as much as my vw too!

I have an old Mini-14 Police in stainless... Thats my favorite 5.56 weapon, I like the action so much better than the AR.. At lunch I fired 3 mags through my AK 74 :-)

Too busy working on other people's junk to help pay for my pile. As far as Eric... "Just wait, you'll see...!"

As for Tristan, let him know he's got an open invitation to come run with us anytime.
