Where in south Texas do you liveI had
a bug shop in PSJA on the corner of
I road and 495 called Brothers Buggys
but that was in the the 1980's
I was just wondering if there was any
of my buggys left down there or if we
may have met.

McAllen, TX. There are a few bug/vw shops here. They usually price materials/parts 10% higher than the average. This one shop Burmea's, looks for prices in vw magazines, and adds 10%..to USED parts. So, people who don't mind used parts have to pay for new. The VW 'brotherhood' spirit is gone. Totally sucks. I get my parts from a little shop in Dallas

oh yeah, in 1980 I was 9 yrs old

Yea Bermea's was down the street from us back then
and my brother work for him after we closed our shop
he was high then but shiping down there is high as you
already know.

Well, he died. If I remember correctly, heart attack. The son-in-law took over and due to his greedy high prices, they're almost out of business..
