Title: Re: another point of view Post by: Sarge on May 01, 2009, 00:07:44 am At least they acknowledge VW's over there.... the H.A.M.B. looks at our community like dirt under their fingernails. There's no place like home, though and that's The Lounge! 8)
Title: Re: another point of view Post by: Bryan67 on May 01, 2009, 03:42:12 am Really? I`m the hamb though mostly as a lurker and nobody gives me any grief. In fact, there is at least on VW thread. The people on Losboulevardos.com are cool too.

Stupid to think a bunch of LONG TERM hot rodders don't have a liking for Volkswagens. I think the guys that don't appreciate them generally haven't been doing it very long. Posting a littl more background in another post. Thanks! Jim
Title: Re: another point of view Post by: TexasTom on May 04, 2009, 01:25:46 am I really have a problem trying to see there point of view.
What a bunch of total SNOBS. The best (probably worst) analogy I can make from their point of view is this: I also belong to a forum for machinists/welders ... the Hotrod forum point of view is if I were to post that I cannot and will not answer to or suggest information to another welder that doesn't own a newer, high frequency welding machine as they don't have the machinery/equipment to make constructive comments/questions worthy of my time. Just my point of view. I guess I shouldn't have read the post, although I appreciate the authors attempt. I think I'll drive my Beetle to the next local 'HotRod' show just to raise some Hell. Title: Re: another point of view Post by: Jim Aust on May 04, 2009, 02:03:23 am WHOAAAAAA!!! We had NO ANIMOSITY or ill feeling in our forum. Don't know where it got derailed. We like Volkswagens and look forward to building a bond between the two boards. Thanks Jim
Title: Re: another point of view Post by: TexasTom on May 04, 2009, 02:16:28 am I understand, Jim.
But, I read it a couple times and the are some with a more narrow the point of view I speak of. I can't think of near anything cooler than building an early to mid sixties Gasser replica or a '32 HiBoy, so I'm wide open from my point of view as well. But, I've been involved witha nd HotRodding a certain '69 Bug for over 30 years ... Hope you see where I coming from. Tom |
