by **Texasbuggys** » 30 Sun Dec, 2007 1:24 pm

You may have to drag my low rider down the beach Chris with your tall boy buggy! LOL

by **Russhebert** » 30 Sun Dec, 2007 1:40 pm

Drag it behind your 5 winder bugfoot thingy.

Cool Russell, Ill keep ya posted as things develop ;-)

On second thought if comes down it and you and I are the only ones we will still go

by **Texasbuggys** » 30 Sun Dec, 2007 8:17 pm

That's the ticket! If I can only get time to at least get it together! Got lots to do on it still, I have had a great time building on it, chopping, bending and welding on that thing is the most relaxing. I keep walking past the buggy and get glass on me everytime and keep changing it from top to bottom. I think I am starting to get allergic to it! LOL, I am going though all the parts I have accumulated for it today and I think I have found the under carriage colors finally. It is going to be different to say the least. Goal is Fredricksberg!!! Chris keep posting pictures, you are keeping me motivated! Hey did you have any times, dates for the Beach Blast in your head?

by **Aquabuggy** » 30 Sun Dec, 2007 8:40 pm

Texasbuggys wrote:Hey did you have any times, dates for the Beach Blast in your head?

Nope, Wanted to get some input from everyone that's interested and see what will work out the best and go with that.

As far as pics go, not much to look at. Just doing the little time consuming stuff rear shock mounts, brake line brackets, seat belt mounts, turn signal mounts kinda boring stuff ya know work all day and cant even tell anything has been done.

by JD » 30 Sun Dec, 2007 9:31 pm

Hey Chris... Linda and I are interested. Just let us know when.

by **Aquabuggy** » 31 Mon Dec, 2007 1:42 pm

Hey JD, I hope y'all can make again this summer. We need to figure out a date that will be good for everyone. Do you have any suggestions that would make it even better this year?

by **richard king** » 01 Tue Jan, 2008 10:12 am

Hey Chris I am game I don't even know what my car looks like

but I will uncover it and dust it off and hope it runs. I thank late apr early may spring break or not :lol:

by **Aquabuggy** » 03 Thu Jan, 2008 8:27 pm

Ricky, Glad to hear your up for it.

I see where your coming from spring break lots of cute college girls in bikini's

OH YA!
But with the VW classic at the end of April and the Buggy Blast in May that maybe a little hard to pull off, not to mention almost impossible to get hotel rooms.
Maybe in June or July after most of the spring VW shows have died down??

by **Texasbuggys** » 06 Sun Jan, 2008 10:10 pm

Well I talked with Chris W. today and we were thinking of shooting for the last weekend of June. Please reply and let us know if that is a good time, bad time, or ya just don't give a darn, ya ain't going to be able to come anyways! Just give us some feedback as we would like to get a good sized group turn out this year and take some great pictures. Also if anyone has any recommnedations that made it last year, lets hear them also since I did not get to make it I was out of town the same weekend with the kids in their competions. So com'on guys and gals chime in!!!

by **Don** » 07 Mon Jan, 2008 8:36 am

The last weekend in June would be good for us.

by **GregR** » 07 Mon Jan, 2008 10:15 am

hay guys, I created a poll at the top of this forum. Let me know if the options are what you want.

by **Russhebert** » 07 Mon Jan, 2008 6:23 pm

It will not let me vote but we do not care what weekend it is, we will be there.

by **Carlton Dollery** » 14 Mon Jan, 2008 3:44 pm

Count me and the family in

, unless something comes up.

Chris you can locate a good hotel this time for all to stay at, the one we got last time was last minute and had alot to be desired

. I think it was Donna that had some uninvited guest in her room :shock:

.

Maybe if we set a date and time early enough we can find a place to stay on the island.

by **Aquabuggy** » 02 Sat Feb, 2008 11:33 pm

If everyone is good with June, 28 & 29 lets make it official

Chrissy & I will be down that way in a couple weeks, we will try to come up with some options for lodging.
If anyone has any input Id love to hear it so please speak up.

The current plan is Port Aransas/Mustang Island. We could go to South Padre Island it would be a long drive in a buggy, but Hey If thats where everyone wants to go Ill be up for it.

by **CoilMan** » 25 Mon Feb, 2008 9:17 am

Thats about a 100 miles, right? Nearly all secluded beach drive? Sounds like a great weekend to me. Any thoughts/discussion on stopping somewhere and camping on the beach for a night?

Ken

PS. The "bikini" comment was insensitive and rude and I am a happily married man to a wonderful woman. (Yeah, the wife read my post! :oops:

)

LOL, that P.S. was funny right there!

Any thoughts/discussion on stopping somewhere and camping on the beach for a night? As long as you have a beach parking permit you can camp on the beach about 12 bucks if I remember write. My wife is not a camper she likes the AC but don't let us stop you.

WHAT! My wife is the one telling me look look that girl has a thong on or look at her she's hanging out of her suit.

by **buggieBob** » 05 Wed Mar, 2008 11:50 am

Bobby

by **Aquabuggy** » 05 Wed Mar, 2008 8:54 pm

Hey Bobby, The wife and I went down a couple weekends ago. Looks like anything on the island is gonna be $150 & up, The Days inn looked new and had the most parking. We also looked in Aransas Pass there is a Microtel Inn that looked fairly new, prices there are in the $80 to $90 range.
Im good ether way, Just getting excited.

Maybe some of the others will chime in.

by **Carlton Dollery** » 06 Thu Mar, 2008 8:09 am

Either one is fine with me, I think it would be nice if we all could stay at the same place like last time and we do need a place that has lots of parking area. What is the preference of everyone coming? Do you want to stay on the island (which cost more for a room) or stay in Aransas Pass again. We need to decide fairly quick before the rooms are gone

.

by **buggieBob** » 06 Thu Mar, 2008 12:03 pm

Chris

I suggested the Best Western because it as closest to the beach. They are going to be around $150.00 price we just need to make a decision on were to stay the rooms will fill up fast. There is car washes and places to eat on the island. I book a room at the Best Western but if we decide to stay at the Days End I can change it. We need to have a meeting with some of us to set it up.

by JD » 06 Thu Mar, 2008 2:30 pm

Chris, Linda and I are really excited about coming down. Either place will be good for us. Looking forward to seeing you all again. JD

by **Aquabuggy** » 06 Thu Mar, 2008 9:15 pm

Hey JD, Glad to hear from ya and were looking forward to having y'all down this way again.
Is there anything different you all would like to do this year?

by **Aquabuggy** » 06 Thu Mar, 2008 9:29 pm

Hey Bobby M., Carlton, Ricky, Bobby S. did I leave anyone out? hope not.
How about we give a couple days to hear comments from some of the other interested club members then lets meet and nail down the final plans.

We stayed at the Aransas Pass Microtel Inn last weekend. Proximity to ferry was great, and nice enough place for sleeping (rooms are ... well "micro"scopic), but not much parking. Small lot in the back.

Just thought I would share.

Ken

Oh BTW, Aquabuggy, earlier I was asking how far I should expect the "beach" drive to be. Not how far Victoria is ... ;-)

by **Carlton Dollery** » 07 Fri Mar, 2008 11:39 am

Sounds good to me!!!

Wife and kids are already pushing to go, looks like we will be making a couple of trips before the cruise.

Hey Ken, Thanks for the down low on the Micro.
You are planning on joining us on the beach cruise write :?:

Oh wait I know how to convince you click here. http://www.corpusbeach.com/bikini_beach_achieves.htm
:lol:

As for the length of the cruise on the beach 15 miles or so, not really sure. If thats not long enough we could go down to the Padre Island national seashore thats something like 60 miles of beach 4x4 is recommended down there :shock:

Aquabuggy wrote:Oh wait I know how to convince you click here. http://www.corpusbeach.com/bikini_beach_achieves.htm

Yes, I knew what it was and I looked anyway... :oops:

Wanted to see the latest styles, just to help the wife when out shopping with her...

We are definitely a strong ... maybe!

Carlton Dollery wrote:What is the preference of everyone coming? Do you want to stay on the island (which cost more for a room) or stay in Aransas Pass again.

Personally, I would vote (and it is ok to say mine does not matter) to stay in Aransas Pass where you get two nights for the price of one on the island. Kind of cool taking the ferry and I would like to see a ferry full of buggies (please keep that comment straight, I did not say a buggy fulll of ...).

As soon as the wife gets home, I'll tell her if we are going to go or not... and let you know what she says.

by **ckolek** » 07 Fri Mar, 2008 6:48 pm

now that is funny!!!! :lol:

by **Ken** » 09 Sun Mar, 2008 9:54 am

Yes, have you guys gotten together and decided on a place to stay. Looks like a good sized group is interested and rooms may start becoming an issue.

Ken
(Coilman login broke :cry:

not sure why ?)

by **Texasbuggys** » 09 Sun Mar, 2008 9:35 pm

I have a wedding the weekend before and the weekend of the beach trip! Crude wankers! Well maybe I can sneek off for the day!

by **Aquabuggy** » 21 Fri Mar, 2008 10:32 pm

Looks like everyone has chimed in and seem to be fine with ether location. Since we stayed in Aransas Pass last year It would be fun to stay on the island this time around. So, we will be booking a room at the Best Western as well. Looking forward to seeing yall

PS. Ricky, how was spring break on the beach?

by **Aquabuggy** » 22 Sat Mar, 2008 11:53 am

Disregard previous post! This is Chrissy. We tried booking the hotel room in Port Aransas, there is a 2 night minimum. I checked around and they were either futher out or 2 night minimum. So, we booked at the Super 8 in Aransas Pass. http://www.super8.com/Super8/control/Bo ... ch-Super_8

The good news.....

it's cheaper. The bad news.....

it's not on the island.

by **Carlton Dollery** » 01 Tue Apr, 2008 6:16 am

I booked the family at the Super 8 last night.

Chris you going to take the long body this year?

Anybody else booked yet for the beach cruise?

by **Texasbuggys** » 01 Tue Apr, 2008 6:41 am

We have a wedding to attend on Sat afternoon but we will drive down on Sunday morning to meet up with everyone.

by **buggieBob** » 02 Wed Apr, 2008 7:22 pm

Booked a room at super 8 the other day (I am in)

by **Ken** » 11 Fri Apr, 2008 12:10 pm
