New owner

Hi everyone, my name is Tony and i just bought a 56 speedster replica four days ago. It is mint but it was sitting in a heated garage for 11 years without being started. Just got it going last night. I live in mamaroneck new york. If anybody lives close to me I have some questions about the car.

Thanks Tony C.

Congrats on the purchase. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to hook up with a site member in your area who can help you sort it out.

Welcome to the madness!

Welcone Tony,
Even though you have go it going, it's probably going to need a full fuel system clean out i.e. tank, replace lines and filters, clean carbs etc. ~Alan

Welcome, and may you enjoy yourself as long as you ow3n the car.....

Tony:

Nice to have a "Newbie" aboard.

Dan Piperato (DannyP) lives kind of near you and posts here from time to time. He has a silver 550 Spyder. There are other folks near you on here, too.

If you've filled in your zip code in your profile, you can go to the registry tab and see who's close to you in increasing distance. Pretty cool function.

Good luck with your toy!

Tony,

Welcome! I stop in here from time to time. Not as mechanically inclined as most of the regular folks here, but will help out if I can. I'm probably 10 min. from you in Greenwich. If you need VW assistance, I recommend these folks. 4th generation owners just across the Porsche dealership. Ask for Frank Jr or Sr, very reasonable too!
