Volvo_go_go Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Good Luck man. I'm "planning" a 5-6 week round trip cross country road trip for 4 years from now. First step is finding a VW Poptop van to fix up over the years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Wish me luck! Good Luck! If you come through Houston instead of Dallas let me know and you can crash here and be taken care of, I'm just north of downtown and you'd just skip right back to I-45.

DelawareT5M Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 So Jon just texted me and said he bent a rod. LOL! Juan and I were about to call for an emergency engine swap for this weekend but unfortunately I don't have the time/funds to go for a swap right now.... looks like I won't be selling the spare motor anymore!

ErikS Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Got your PM, where in Houston are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelawareT5M Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Got your PM, where in Houston are you? right now I'm at Juan's (Mogatu'r) I have to say, he's probably the nicest and most generous VS members and people I've ever met!! I can't say enough good things about him and his family. He blamed himself for my rod bending too but we got that settled by having a few drinks a the club so we made a good joke out of it But seriously, Juan is an outstanding guy! I can't thank him enough for letting me stay with him and him helping me out so much. He's an example of why I joined the forum and I wish more members were like him Reid has also been a great help, I wouldn't have found a place to stay if it wasn't for him. He wasn't exaggerating when he said VS Texas was a family before a car club Now we're going to replace the spark plugs and see if that changes the frequency of the motor, then even if that doesn't temporarily solve the issue I'll still finish my drive to Flagstaff. My sister's moving out to AZ with me in a few weeks so I'll just have her bring my spare motor Houston is an awesome town, and effing HUGE! Lots of really nice VS members I met as well My trip has been absolutely great so far! Between Penn State, Nashville TN and New Orleans, and now Houston... I am rethinking moving to Flagstaff since I've been to these great places. I could see myself possibly moving to the Houston area in the future, at least visiting a lot!

First step is finding a VW Poptop van to fix up over the years.... I couldn't be happier I chose to do this roadtrip, I wish I had the time to avoid most interstates and go the smaller roads though... I took a country road through West Virginia and had a blast driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogatu'r Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 suppp John, man.. I haven't posted in a while, but had to. Just to say, what a stand up guy John is. Everyone had fun while he was here, from a small cruise on Thursday, fajitas meet on Friday lol, to changing his oil at Vyken's house, we had fun! Like I said before, more than welcome to stay at our place anytime, my 3yo was like where's John? ahahha.. All the Houston Texas members were more than glad that you were in town, and spent time with us crazies lolol. Man, too bad Reid couldn't make it out . But, I'm going to take the gang up there to him, buwhahahahh! The only shitty part was him bending a rod, .. It happened to quick to even notice. Lol, the exaust cap went on.. and I'm already missing it lolol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
