He started with a 1971 white standard Beetle, moved up to a 1963 blue Kharmann Ghia, and last but not least, a 1957 blue Oval Ragtop Beetle. He has been to VWs Shows from the East Coast to the West Coast. He enjoys helping the VW Cruisers at many events since becoming a member.
Ryan
My parents got in to Volkswagens because they were cheap and easy to fix. They ended up with a 72 Bug, 73 Thing, 74 Super Beetle and 75 Bus. I fell in love with all of them and bought the Thing from them as my first car. I just recently found the 72 Bug that was the first VW they bought and I'm trying to get it back. Since buying that first Thing I have owned four 73 Things, a 74 Thing, 84 Rabbit 1.6 Diesel L 4dr, 99 Jetta, 99 Passat, 06 Jetta 2.5 and a 07 Rabbit 2.5. I sold the 84 Rabbit in 2012 and bought it back Dec 2014. I am also waiting on the arrival of the 73 Thing that I got when selling my lifted 73 Thing. I sold it to a guy in Spain and when it arrives he plans to ship his to me as soon as he can. I also sold for Flow VW in 2010. If it is VW I want it..
John D
John has a few cool rides - a 1963 Red and Black Meyer Dune Buggy, a 1974 Yellow and Black Striped Retro Mod Ghia, and many other classic cars and motorcycles. He is a carpenter by day, gear head by night. He does all his own work, and his next project is a very cool, rare, 1967 Type 34 Ghia with power sunroof. You can find him cruising around in his rides in Madison county.
Coop
Coop's been hanging out with the VW Cruisers in past years, and drives up from the Richmond area to help us at the annual show and at the Bug-Outs down in Dinwiddie, Virginia. His ride is a beautiful candy red-pearl metallic Dune Buggy. I believe it's undergoing a restoration as we speak.
Janet and Peter
Janet and Peter have two great rides! Janet has a quick and comfortable new generation red 'Turbo Diesel' Convertible Beetle she calls "Red Dame", which is undergoing some cosmetic and customization upgrades for upcoming shows. Peter on the other hand, drives a rare 1971 red Fastback he calls "Little Red" imported into this country the same year that Peter's family immigrated from Gelsenkirchen, GE. Peter grew up in New York, and recently went to watch the last professional home baseball game at Wrigley stadium in Chicago before it is modernized to include a Jumbotron. He has checked that off his bucket list. Peter is a huge Volkswagen and sports enthusiast, and speaks fluent german to boot.

Debbie
I first started driving Volkswagens in the 80's. My dad had bought a 1967 beetle and my mom and I just loved it. We drove it everywhere. Then we acquired a 1972 beetle and then upgraded to a Super Beetle in 1974. I have been with the club without a car for several years. It didn't matter, they made you feel welcome. Now I have a 1972 Yellow Standard Beetle (Buttercup) and recently acquired a 2005 Blue Metallic Passat. I enjoy doing things with the club, making trophies, going on cruises, picnics and parties.
Jon’s ’67 Bug
Jon is one of our younger members, who is always making improvements to his '67 bug. He goes to as many club events that he can, and never misses an opportunity to find unique '67 OEM parts a the Bug-Out and other Shows. Jon recently moved to Kansas, but keeps us posted on upgrades to his '67 bug.
