Special dash plaques given out to all participating VWs at Time Machines 2009 - click directly on the image to go to our Full Report on Antique VW Participation!*9/26/2009 Updates - Well, what do you know--I've managed to get another "Time Machines" Antique VW Participation Report prepared "before the snow flies" in New England! Ha ha! Yes, I know I've been notoriously slow in updating the Common Gear site in recent years, and for that I apologize yet again. Seems like "life" just keeps overtaking your best hobby intentions these days (and I suspect that others with teenage kids out there--like me--know what I'm talking about). But as always, we do keep a positive spirit, and do what we can, when we can, to contribute to the hobby (and for you folks who happen to live in the CT Shoreline area, pleasedo also check out my other online old car hobby project, Shoreline Antique Auto Connection)... Anyway, getting back to Time Machines, this year's event was of course held on Sunday, the 26th of July, in Guilford, CT--and just like last year's event (which was the first-ever in Guilford), there were some "rain issues" affecting the proceedings--but thankfuly at least not during the event this time! I am aware, however, that the several rainy days leading up to the event--not to mention the pre-dawn rain on show day--did affect the field conditions, and probably also the decision of many folks on whether or not to bring their cleaned and detailed show cars out to the Guilford Fairgrounds that day. But old-VW folks have also shown themselves historically to be a very hearty bunch, and, like last year, a very healthy number (thanks in large part to the great enthusiasm of our friends from the CT VW Association) turned out to put their beautiful vintage German machines on display. So, please do take a gander at our Time Machines 2009 Antique VW Particiation Report any time at: http://home.comcast.net/~commonsteve/TimeMachines2009/TM09Report.html - or just click on the small image of the TM2009 "VW Class exclusive" magnetic dash plaque at the upper right (as shown affixed to the glove box of the Webmaster's 1960 VW Bug), to go directly to the page. We know we have probably several typos and/or stuff that needs correcting, etc., in there--so we are also careful to use the words "First Draft" at this time--until we eventually (hopefully!) get everything straight--and we also encourage you to please let us know if you find anything on that page that needs to be fixed--thanks!... And meanwhile, the search also continues for my "dream" Karmann Ghia Convertible--I am interested in finding something really original, unmolested, and nice shape, in a, say, '68 or later Ghia Cabrio, so if you know of any good candidates, please also do consider dropping me a line--thanks again!

Antique VWs at "Time Machines 2009," 7/26/2009, Guilford, CT - click directly on the image to bring up a similar, but much larger view*8/14/2009 Updates - Some additional post-event notes on Antique VW participation at Time Machines 2009 - Even though I am still working on organizing my post-event notes, I wanted to add a few more brief thoughts here, to augment what I wrote in the 8/6/2009 Updates section below. I would go so far as to say that the day turned out pretty well, considering everything (like a somewhat soggy show field). I heard from the organizers some preliminary total numbers of cars in the show in the 350 range, but I think that's rather conservative. The VW class judging typically wasn't easy, though I think the winners were all very deserving: 1st = Manny Feliciano '54 Bug... 2nd = Mel Cardenas '57 Porsche Speedster Replicar... 3rd = Scott Lavigne '62 Dune Buggy... My local VW-friend and co-worker Pete Vega's gorgeous medium blue '65 Bug (among several others, also) should've won an award also, but as usual, we only have three "place" awards to give out. But I hope that folks enjoy the getting-together and fellowship aspects of participating also (not just the awards). Thanks again to everyone who participated (especially, once again, the CVA folks)! Be sure to click on the small "teaser" image of Time Machines 2009 old VWs at the above right (or HERE) to bring up a similar, but expanded panoramic-type view of the fronts of many of the VWs at Time Machines 2009. Click HERE to bring up another different panoramic-type image of the rears of many of the VWs at Time Machines 2009. Thanks again for now to all the dedicated antique Volkswagen people who made the extra effort to bring their old cars out to the Time Machines 2009 antique auto show! Please do stay tuned for our full report!... In other news, you may have noticed the news item about the "Dave Camp Gathering" that was held in this past Saturday (8/8) in New London, CT (see the 7/24/2009 Update section below). We were very pleased to attend, to help remember and pay tribute to this special man, and have posted a related update to the Shoreline Antqiue Auto Connection web site about it (see the 8/11/2009 updates section of that page near the top). Thanks to Allyn Devars, Mike and Betty Camp, and everyone who set it up, adding much pleasant socializing to this reverent occasion... Finally, please do also check out the latest update to our "Electronic Swapmeet" (Classified Ads page)...

D. Cummings '56 Bug with C/G Decal - click directly on the image to go to The Great Decal Initiative page!*8/6/2009 Updates - Wow, despite some somewhat "iffy" field conditions (due to some rain the morning of the event, plus a few days'-worth earlier as well), what a great antique VW turnout at the Time Machines car show a couple of weekends ago, in Guilford, CT. I counted 20 VWs total in the show (that's counting one beautiful mid-'70s Westfalia Camper that was parked near the center of the field in no apparent class, and with no owner info apparent...but what a beauty it was). As always, thanks in very large part for positively affecting the old-VW turnout goes to our friends from the Connecticut VW Association--thanks again guys! Please stay tuned for our full report on this year's fantastic Time Machines Antique VW muster! Another local internet venture has already posted a great number of car images from the show--here are the two pages-full: Page 1 and Page 2. In closing we congratulate the CT Area Classic Thunderbird Club (and especially their hard-working Show Chaiman Fred Klaus) for doing a superb job with this year's Time Machines car show, in spite of some challenging conditions!... It also looks like the day of Dave Camp Remembrances and Memorial Celebrations is just a couple of days away as this is being written--see the details in the 7/24/2009 Updates section below, and thanks again to our (and Dave's) friend Allyn DeVars for all his efforts in helping organize and get the word out about the Dave-related goings-on this Saturday (August 8th) in and around New London, CT... Finally, to go along with the small graphic image you see at the upper right, we are pleased to be updating our "Great Decal Initiative" page this evening with some cool inputs from a Virginia gentleman who took us up on our offer (see also the 1/10/2009 Updates section below) of some C/G decals, in return for supplying us with a picture or two of the decals "in action!" The image shown here is a reduced and cropped-down version of a larger one featuring the beautiful black '56 Bug of David Cummings. Overall shots of this slick oval, as well as David's equally beautiful blue '62 Bug--both sporting C/G decals, plus a bit of background info that Dave supplied, are now viewable on the "Great Decal Initiative" page--thanks again David!... Otherwise, I hope your summer is going well. Hard to believe it's August already. I ended up selling my '68 Bug last month (to a local guy who thankfully appears to appreciate the car's "inner beauty" as much as I did!), and now I am keeping my eyes open for a nice '68 or later Karmann Ghia Convertible (ideally: all-original, low miles, and unmolested--I know, I know: "Don't hold your breath, Steve!). So, if you hear of any good candidates, please do drop me a line--thanks!... Over and out for now!

Header for The Dave Gathering flyer - click directly on the image to bring up a .pdf of the entire flyer*7/24/2009 Updates: "Time Machines Weekend Finally Here" and also "Remembering A Very Special Connecticut VW Friend" - Well, it looks, happily, like we will be having better weather for this year's Time Machines antique auto show & flea market in Guilford, CT (compared to last year's event, that is), this coming Sunday, the 26th of July. As you know, Common Gear Antique Volkswagen Society is sponsoring the VW-only class in the car show, for all stock & modified VWs, this year up to and including model year 1984. It's a fun way to have some VW socializing and fellowship within a large, well-established, and multi-faceted antique auto event, so I hope you might consider it. Here is our report on last year's rather soggy version: http://home.comcast.net/~commonsteve/TimeMachines2008... And it looks like I will be driving something other than my trusty old '68 Bug to the Time Machines show this year, since it's going to be going to its new owner as of tomorrow. Yes, it is with mixed feelings that I am selling it, but I have other "antique Volkswagening dreams" that I want to pursue. I wish the new owner many happy miles, and since he's relatively local to my area here in Southern Connecticut, perhaps I'll catch a glimpse of the car in action from time to time... Finally, to go along with the graphic that you see here at the right, we recently heard the sad news of the passing of our long-time Southeastern Connecticut Antique Volkswagen Friend and Mentor Dave Camp. Dave was a kind, talented, generous person who enjoyed old VWs, and enjoyed passing on his knowledge of old VWs to fellow enthusiasts. He was a tremendous positive influence on me back when I was first getting started in the old VW hobby, back in the early '80s. I have fond memories of many trips to Dave's house in New London to visit with Dave, learn about old VWs, acquire needed parts for my old VWs, and much more. Along the way, I also got to know Allyn DeVars, a young friend of Dave's from the neighborhood at the time, who was also interested in old VWs. Allyn now lives in Dave's old house in New London, having acquired it when Dave moved to Florida. Allyn was also the person who got in touch with us to let us to let us know of Dave's passing, and also forwarded to us information on a Memorial Celebration of Dave Camp's life, upcoming on August 8th, 2009, in and around the New London area. Quoting from Allyn's email dated 7/23/2009: "...I've attached the flyer that has been made for Dave's memorial gathering here in Connecticut. I'm hoping there will be a number of the long-time CVA folks who Dave knew will be able to come. Michael's Dairy is a great treat here in New London, and it would be fun to see people show up with some vintage VW's for ice cream and then a bbq at the house in honor of him... Dave's brother Mike is planning to make the trip north from Florida, and is also a gear-head, having a collection of 1950's Chevrolets, a 1957 23-window deluxe, and Dave's old 1965 Java Green Beetle... Any help you can give in reaching out to people would be appreciated...." The flyer that Allyn refers to has been converted to a hyperlink, which you can access by clicking directly on the Dave graphic at the upper right (or HERE). The picture of Dave from the flyer has also been hyperlinked in a non-reduced format--click HERE. Additional info: The Michael's Dairy (4:00pm gathering location) web site is : http://www.michaelsdairynl.com/ - and their directions page is: http://www.michaelsdairynl.com/directions.html - For ease of Mapquesting, Micheal's Dairy's street address is: 629 Montauk Avenue, New London, CT 06320. We'll miss you, Dave...

*5/26/2009 Update: "Hail to the Hero" for 2009 - Very happy to report that we've gotten the "Heroes of Antique Volkswagening Page" updated as of this evening, with news of this year's honoree--as was officially announced "to the world" a little over a week ago at the Michigan Vintage VW Festival. Congratulations to our "Hero" for 2009, and thanks to everyone who helped us out with this year's process!

CVA Dust Off Reflections, 4/26/2009, Mansfield, CT - click directly on the image to bring up a larger version of this same image*4/27/2009 Update: "Well Dusted!" - Wow, what a positively tremendous day up at Mansfield Hollow State Park yesterday, where we had the good fortune to be able to participate in the Connecticut Volkswagen Association's annual "Spring Dust Off," informal gathering of VWs and VW people. Mansfield Hollow is located up in the northeastern part of CT, in the town of Mansfield, which is not far from the University of Connecticut. Having spent some time up at UConn back in the late '70s and early '80s, it was also a bit of a "trip back in time" for me, traversing many old roads and seeing many old landmarks along the way. We had the great pleasure of being able to caravan up to the Dust Off this year with fellow VW enthusiasts Greg Mattesen (in his turquoise '63 Bug), Bill Silvestri (in his black '63 Sunroof Bug), and Roland Metz (in his '64 Karmann Ghia Cabriolet). Our ride for the day was Diane's old '54 Bug Convertible, which, as of the end of last summer, is finally a true runner (having spent the summer of '08 getting thoroughly gone-over by an extremely talented New England VW tuner, John Kaiser--thanks again for your "VW wizardry" John!). Our path up from the central shoreline area was CT Route 17 all the way into Portland, CT, and then onto CT Route 66 for the major part of the ride, taking us almost all the way into Mansfield. Pulling into the park, we were amazed to see the huge number of gathered VWs already there. After getting ourselves parked, we had the chance to browse and socialize among many beautiful VWs and VW friends old and new. And we can only guess that Mother Nature must like old VWs, too, since the weather was amazing--sunny and positively summer-like. By mid-afternoon, the cars were starting to disperse, and our caravan group decided to go our separate ways. As we were still enjoying chatting with folks, we didn't end up leaving the field until somewhere around 3:30 or 4:00pm. Before heading back home, we took a detour up to the UConn Dairy Bar, just a few miles up the road from Mansfield Hollow, and enjoyed some of their tasty ice cream. And finally, we are happy to say that the old '54 continued to run strongly and reliably, all the way back home, leaving us with a completely positive feeling about the entire day's experience. We took a few of our own pictures at the Dust Off, but also wanted to make note that the CT VW Association people have already posted a huge array of shots at their web site, so we do wish suggest your checking it all out at: www.ctvwa.com . The accompanying image here at the upper right is one of our own shots that we liked from the day, featuring a partial reflection of Greg Mattesen's beautiful turquoise '63 Bug, as visible in the side panels of a magnificent black '54 Bug that came all the way from New York to participate. You can also click HERE or directly on the image, to bring up a larger, higher-resolution version of the same shot. In closing, we wish once again to sincerely thank the fine people of the CT VW Association for all the work they did in organizing and running another very enjoyable Spring Dust Off!... And on another subject, we did want to note that this year's Common Gear Heroes of Antique Volkswagening award (the actual award plaque itself, that is) has in fact been very recently presented, in a ceremonial fashion, at a large west coast antique VW gathering--but we're not going to publish our "press release" here just yet, since the "official public announcement" is always planned to coincide with the large antique VW gathering in Michigan produced by the Michigan Vintage VW Club, known as the "Michigan Vintage VW Festival." The 2009 MVVC Vintage Fest will be held Sunday, May 17th, 2009, in Plymouth, MI--and so we'll be updating our "Heroes of Antique Volkswagening Page" to showcase this year's honoree, on or immediately after that date...stay tuned!

*4/10/2009 Update - Thanks to all who helped us out with excellent nominations for this year's Common Gear Heroes of Antique Volkswagening Program--we will soon be updating our "Heroes of Antique Volkswagening Page" to showcase this year's honoree, who, I would say, is an excellent and timely choice... Please also check out the latest update to our "Electronic Swapmeet" (Classified Ads page), with an interesting new listing just posted.

*2/10/2009 Update - We have just updated our "Heroes of Antique Volkswagening Page" , importantly to highlight the upcoming deadline for our receipt of 2009 Heroes award nominations, which is March 31, 2009. Please do visit the page and read up about the program, which was created to help recognize those important "behind the scenes" people so important to our hobby... I would also like to take the opportunity this evening to suggest your taking a gander at the Shoreline Resource Guide page that I maintain for my other, local Connecticut Shoreline-focused hobby web project, Shoreline Antique Auto Connection, as I've recently posted some updates there on a local vintage auto-related business in Westbrook, CT, known as "Cardone & Daughter Automotive," who seem to have a "bit" of an old-Volkswagen bent (but who are thoroughly well-versed in all old cars, both foreign and domestic). How lucky we are here in Southern Connecticut to have such a great resource as "Cardone & Daughter" right here in our own back yard!

*1/24/2009 Update - Happy to report that we've regenerated our "Electronic Swapmeet" (a.k.a.: Classified Ads page) as of today...onward and upward....

"The Great Decal Initiative" - click on this image to take you to the new feature program page...*1/10/2009 Updates - Oh boy, Mother Nature sent along some "lovely" weather for us this weekend indeed, here in the Northeast. Apart from the snow shoveling, it's kind of a nice, seasonal sort of scene...and also gives me an excuse to spend a little extra time indoors on the computer, attempting to further revive this old horse known as the Common Gear Antique VW Society web site. So, while I know I have to get out there with the shovel and get busy, I also wanted to take a few minutes to check in here. I hope you're enjoying your weekend, whether you're similarly "snowed-in" like us, or whether you're able to get out there with your antique VW and log in a few miles of vintage fahrvergnugen... One thing that also inspired me a bit recently was some friendly internet communication with fellow old-VW fans, including those who participate in the Common Gear Yahoo Discussion Group , and also our more local CT VW Association's Yahoo group . It helps the spirit to know that there are others "out there" like you, who enjoy old VWs--working on them, enjoying them, talking about them. A couple of fellow enthusiasts who I've yet to meet in person, but who are active members of those Yahoo groups, respectively, have been very gracious in going out of their way and offering to do whatever they could to help me get the old C/G site going again--I sure appreciate that--thanks again guys & gals! One of these nice folks also inquired about whether I still had any of the old Common Gear decals still availble--happily I did, and was happy to send one along to him last week. This exchange also got me to thinking that it might be fun to add a new feature to the C/G site, based on those decals (yes, I know that adding new features may be a pursuit of questionable value, when so many older established features have yet to be reactivated). And so I've worked up a little page called the "Great Decal Initiative," and you can click on the accompanying image at the upper right (featuring my old '60 Bug, "Doug," wearing his C/G decal) to take you there. Please do check it out some time @ your convenience, and please also do consider participating... I think that about covers it for now. If you'll excuse me, I have some shoveling to do...

Special dash plaques we gave out to participating VWs at Time Machines 2008 - click on image to go to our full report*1/6/2009 Updates - Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? What do you know, I seem to have muddled through regenerating (more or less anyway!) our Official Report on Antique Volkswagen Participation at Time Machines 2008! I have only just gotten it done, so there is the usual very good chance of errors/omissions/what-not in there, but I did at least take a cursory look at it, and it does appear to be mostly there. You can view the TM2008 VW Report online now--you can either click on the image at the right (which is a scan of one of our unique dash plaques that we got made up to hand out to all the VW class participants in '08), or use the following hyperlink, to go directly there: http://home.comcast.net/~commonsteve/TimeMachines2008/TM08VWReport.html! Will wonders never cease?! Anyway, this is a confidence-builder for me--I think I've proven to myself that I can rebuild stuff & manage files in a relatively orderly manner (key word: "relatively"). I will certainly be looking forward to doing more C/G site rebuilding, as I am able to find the time--thanks again for your patience. Getting the Time Machines VW report going again was particularly important to me, since we're into the New Year now, and looking forward to Time Machines 2009--as noted below, the date is Sunday, July 26th (rain or shine, of course!), and the location is the Guilford Fairgrounds in Guilford, CT. Hope you'll mark it on your calendar and consider participating with your Antique Volkswagen!

*1/1/2009 Updates - HAPPY NEW YEAR! And welcome to "official antique status" all 1984 model year VWs ("antique" as defined by AACA and VVWCA to be anything at least 25 years old)... Wow, what a rude awakening from our friends at AOL when they announced this past fall, with about a one month lead time, that they were shutting down all of their web site hosting (where we had our site hosted for many years). SLOWLY we are getting ourselves reacclimated with web site origination, and are happy to have at least gotten a start at rebuilding. Importantly, to help you get started making some connections within the hobby, we wish to mention that the Common Gear Yahoo Discussion Group is still 100% operational--feel free to join and/or begin partaking in any old-VW-related discussions--or start your own... We also did not want to delay getting our "Heroes of Antique Volkswagening Page" reactivated, since we had some extra-special honorees for '08, and want to make sure we can continue spreading the good words about them--also to begin soliciting nominees for the '09 award... And of course, there are a thousand other things we want to get working on reactivating here--and we'll do the best we can as we are able. We do wish to particularly mention that we have all intentions of again sponsoring the Antique Volkswagen Class (for all Antique VWs, stock & modified), within this coming year's "Time Machines 2009" Antique Auto Show and Flea Market, upcoming on Sunday, July 26th, in Guilford, CT--you can check the event organizers' official web site for the latest published details... Meanwhile I also wish to put in a plug for the other antique auto hobby web site project that I manage, which focuses on the local CT Shoreline-area antique auto scene (non-marque-specific), called "Shoreline Antique Auto Connection"--as you can probably guess, a bit of old-VW stuff creeps in there from time to time--please do check it out some time... In closing, we are happy to be on our way back once again, and thanks for visiting. Talk to y'all again soon!
