Sightings: Kinda like UFOs only for VWs instead.

The name of the place is Garcia's Foreign Car Clinic. He is open 5 days a week (semi retired) and his number is 530-842-5516. He was thrilled to hear his place made it all the way out to GA.

Thats awesome!!!! i take it uve seen it b4??? or you know him!! next time im in that area I wil deff. stop by to check it out!!! let him know im prety intrested in that 70's panel!!!!

I have just been by there as well on my way up to Medford, OR. I remembered loving that place. I actually looked it up on the web and found nothing, so I called a local wrecker service. He gave me the name and number of the place. I called and talked to the owner. He was pleased to hear from me all the way out in GA.

Saw all these today












Had alot of fun today at the yard sale. Nice to met all of you.

Kind of on topic. Coming home from the above mass sighting, a white minivan stayed beside me and Bob down a long stretch of hwy. Not exactly sure where we were, but I think it was Dallas Hwy maybe. At a redlight, they asked me if there was a bug show today. I told them "not really a show, but a gathering". They said "oh cool, we have a 65". I wanted to point them to the website, but the light changed and I never stopped next to them again. Maybe someone on here knows them. It was a white minivan with some stickers on the back window.

I've been driving my car a lot lately. I need to make up some Business cards to hand out when I meet folks just like the ones Eric encountered. As a matter of fact today while my car was sitting in the church parking lot a member placed a card in the window telling me about a car group comprised of other "Car Crazy Folks". I had been thinking about the cards for a while. Nothing professional, just off the home printer.
Later
