Thanks for the warm welcome guys and girl!

I'm originally from Monterey, but I currently live in Gilroy. I'm part of a club called SofaKingEuro, and we have meats down in Monterey, but we also cruise up to visit other club's meats and GTG's. If you guys have anything going on within my range, you'll probably see me. I also AutoX at Marina Airport once a month or so... wink.gif

HAHA! Yeah man! I took that on a trip to Mexico for my chick's cousin's wedding. laugh.gif

its cleaner than the water, right!

It's weird... I didn't get any mud-butt at all during the whole two weeks I was there. I mostly ate at the street food vendors ala "No Reservations" steez, I ate brain taco's too. I didn't want to disrespect and say "no" to anything, so I basically ate whatever was put in front of me. You only live once, right?

I finally got bubble-gut on the night I got home. Just after leaving the airport we stopped at the first fast-food joint. That's what finally did it to me. tongue.gif

You can buy that one.
I want a VR6, but I'll probably get a bug in spring.
dubhavoc
Thats a nice jetta.

Buggies are fun.

Thanks guys!! Good luck finding a cleanly swapped MK2... they're out there somewhere. Folks just want an arm and a leg for them. sad.gif I was struggling for a while about what motor I was going to swap, and I was apprehensive about a VR for a few reasons, but I can't get that rumbling sound outta' my head lol!!!

Here's a random pic from last weeks meat in Monterey.
