[T3] giving away 2 TYPE3's

Fri Aug 17 14:28:10 PDT 2012

Thanks for your response, PA Davis who is very active in VW's wants the cars, one will be for his GF who wants to be active in the 
VW happenings and the other car he will make it a project.
 They will be in good hands, I am sure that is why I prefer to give them to  VW lovers than just sell 
Them out right to anyone. Well I have other things to do like concentrate more on myself, been neglecting me, so 
 I have to cut down on some stuff, If I had kids I may have kept going because at my age they would be adults and 
 Would have helped and even enjoyed them. Thanks man for your words , I am still around san diego doing  uncle sams work and surfing, enjoying life a little bit more. If you need any help on the engine just let me know.

Leon, I remember you, its been a long time and I'm glad to see you're still out there. Sorry to hear about your wife, from what I remember she was very nice ! Also sad to here about your lost love of your Squarebacks . 
   You might not remember me but I was active in NONA and the type 3 groups back when you were. I haven't been too active lately due to my car not running for over 10 years. I go to car shows and meet ups every now and then to show my face and say hello.  My motor is so close to being done and I will be back on the road again soon. 
    I really liked your Square but I don't really have room for them. Good luck in finding them a home, I miss you man!
