Any Folks Living in Colorado Out There?

Scott,

I live down in Douglas Co (Castle Pines) and would love to meet up with you and check out your shop. August is a bit of a schedule disaster (work/travel/family/kids back in school, etc, etc), but come September things should settle a bit. Let’s get together then!

Thanks, Brent

JEEZ !   What a beautiful shop !  Must be nice..That's my dream size for a shop to play in !!     If I was single, I'd have an apartment built in one end of it and the shop would be my back yard. A little deck with a grill and fridge on it and 4 nice 52" TV's placed all round.......Bruce

Sorry I missed you.  I was in Denver and then off to the west riding bike trails a few weeks back but didn’r ask about local folks before My trip.  

My late brother had an ‘83 Scirocco 1.8 with the Callaway turbo package a while back.  Callaway also did a few GTIs and those were screamers. One or two show up at German Car Day in Boston every year.  Awesome cars, for sure.

That would have been awesome Gordon.

Just to be clear, this isnt really about "hey come to my old warehouse for a look around". While all are welcome literally anytime, my end goal is to meet folks and become resources for each other. Doesn't mean it has to be at my place. With the 914 crew, people's projects became events  - we even used to have what was referred to as "sawzall parties" when a tub was too far gone and needed to be disposed of (yeah, kinda brutal...).

So, here is kind of the premise. I have a lift and other "stuff". If any locals (or anyone else who is in town - or maybe more importantly, is driving through town) has an issue that this stuff would be helpful to resolve, please drop me a line. In the same breath, If you need an extra set of hands at your place, feel free to drop me line. If you want to come down and hang on a random Thursday - I'm in. The more folks involved, the more fun this becomes.

The reason I threw this out is that this forum appears to have a very similar group of people as the 914 forums. Lots of wrench turners with a great deal of knowledge that is shared without hesitation. It also appears that there are groups of guys on the coasts that really know and interact with each other. That's is killer. Id like to meet local folks and hopefully cross paths with others from other places as time goes on.

One thing the 914 crowed was really good at was have regional drives. They consisted of 20 to 100 cars (depending on the region) were usually 2 day events and were great fun. There are still 3-4 of these a year.

Sorry to ramble on...
