Cruise To The Classic (2005)
« on: September 01, 2004, 05:56:27 PM »
Just putting a feeler out there to see how many people would be interested in cruising down in their air-cooleds to next years classic together. I know it's still 10 months away but with some good planning it could be the roadtrip of a lifetime. I'm thinking it would be cool to take a few days to get there and hit every VW Shop we can between here and So-Cal.

Ive already commited to going next year so for me it's just a matter of how I get there.

So anyone else interested?

I would love to say yes to this but the current financial situation (or lack of one  [_[ ) doesn't let me plan that far in advance.

I would really like to drive the bug, I guess it all depends on how many people are going....The square would make it.....but taking the bug would be awesome!

There has been some chatter of some of the DVKK guys taking their cars down also... Anyone have any connections to look into renting a hauler to transport a few cars down?

Im pretty sure that about 5 or 6 of us are trailering the cars down next year. I know I said trailer but to drive them would be insane!!!!

That's what I'm thinking - Has anyone flat towed (tow-barred) a bug that kinda distance before?

That is why you take a few days to get down. Not a race but a nice cruise.

I've heard tails of guys towing bugs on tow-bars that far. Main thing is, is be sure it stays out of gear and shouldn't be a problem at all.
I would be up for this but I'm still in school at this time.

James, I would probably lean towards a car dolly. Since you have access to all the materials it wouldn't cost you much to build one.

We are in, I am going to take the MOFO/ Trailer, and then I can drive the car whenever I want on each leg of the Journey...
I think the DVKK and the DGLVK should get together andplan this out so we can have stops at local shops etc... Make it a huge event... ;)  ;)
 Gavin I am sure you could hire a transport company to haul a bunch of you down..

Most transport companies stage cars until they get enough for a full or almost full load to make it worth their while. If you can get enough cars to go you could probably get a decent price....One thing to remember is if you need them by a specific date you may have to pay a higher rate.

Gavin, count me in for a spot on the car hauler!

James, flat towing that distance is nothing.  My uncle used to tow his 68 Bug from Vancouver to Mazatlan Mexico every winter behind his ex-Greyhound bus.  He did it 9 times then sold the car and tow bar to another RV'r.

70mph!! Hell I can barely hold 55-60! I think Shane was thinking of taking a few days to get there - hit a bunch of VW shops/sights on the way.

That is the plan. A nice slow cruise. Because half the fun is just getting there :!:  Hitting a lot of shops along the way and also a lot of back roads.
