Great car, strong motor, shifts beautifully.

Brand new tires.

the bad -
An extra long Lug bolt knocked a brake spring loose, and the drum is on too
tight for me to fix.
Once fixed brakes are great.

We will have a caravan from the Starbucks in Prunedale (at 156 and 101) this
Saturday, Sept 26 with the intent of leaving around 0815 to arrive in Gilroy
before 0900. If you are coming through Prunedale to get to Gilroy, swing off the
road and join us.

Hi All,

We wanted to remind you the San Benito County Cruise will be taking place
next Saturday 9/26.

We will meet up in Gilroy, CA at the Starbucks parking lot (At the corner
of 10th St. and Camino Arroyo: 6865 Camino Arroyo, Gilroy, CA).

The first 10 cars to arrive will receive a complimentary dash magnet.

We will roll out of Gilroy at 10am.

The Pietra Santa Winery is expecting us for wine tasting.  They charge a
$5 tasting fee for those who wish to participate, otherwise you can kick
back and enjoy the view.

Our lunch stop, Relax, Chillin & Grillin, has been nice enough to make us
a MPAS banner, which will be on display and have reserved the patio area
for us.

If anyone has questions, please shoot us an email or give me (Sean) a call
(408-476-4697).

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible.

--MPAS

How can I tell?

HI,fellow MPAS members and VW enthusiasts! I am currently in training with the
Luekemia and Lymphoma Society to run the San Franciso Nike Women's Marathon. I
will be running in honor of my dad, Daniel Provo, and anyone who's lives have
been touched by blood cancers. In order to participate, I have committed myself
to raise $2500.00 for this charity. So, I am calling on all MPAS members and VW
enthusiasts who knew and loved my Dad, and his '67 Yellow Panel Bus to help me
with my fundraising efforts. It is 100% tax deductible, and you can donate
online by going to this link:
http://pages.teamintraining.org./sjnikesf09/kprovo. I will even wash your VW if
you want me to! Thanks for reading this and no donation is too small. Sincerely,
Katey Provo

Friday August 15 from 0900-1600 at Toro Park in Salinas (highway 68). Concours

Im looking for 1 ONE lens/bulb holder for 56/57 tail light I have the rest of

We'll be arriving into Santa Cruz tomorrow (Wednesday), should be arriving at
the Ramada Inn in Santa Cruz sometime around 5:00pm, dinner at the Mexican
restaurant on the Santa Cruz Wharf around 6:30-6:45pm.

cruising with Scott Dempster's Airhead Parts/KGPR Coastal Treffen Cruise
- http://www.airheadparts.com/cruise.asp
<http://www.airheadparts.com/cruise.asp>

We'll be rolling into Santa Cruz on Wednesday afternoon, those whom are

We will head over to the Santa Cruz Wharf for dinner at the Mexican
restaurant near the end of the wharf.

We will depart from the Ramada Inn Thursday morning and will be taking
the 17-mile Drive.

Hopefully, you MPAS Volks can join us whether it's a few blocks or
couple miles.

I will be hopefully meeting a former MPAS member (Traver Wall) at the
Rose City Bug-In in Oregon as he currently resides there.

Hopefully...you MPAS Volks will get to join us on the Airhead Parts/KGPR
VW Treffen Cruise as we hit your neck of the coast.
