Hello All,
I'm a Seattle USA VW T3 Westfalia driver. I have a 1981 Westy with a Porsche 911 2.7L motor that I am currently refitting. I lived off and on in Germany for 8 years in the 1990's while serving in the US Army. Now working for myself.
I will be visiting Germany this March for work and will have a free week at the end of the month to travel around.
Any advice on places to visit or see that are VW T3 related? I have visited the Sinsheim auto museum and the Munich BMW museum, I am more interested in VW/T3 museums, get togethers, vendors or swap meets. I do realize that March might not be the best month for meetups.
I will be working in Bavaria, (Regensburg area) but am willing to travel around once my work is complete.
My German is limited to simple phrases, but I can get by.
I do appreciate any advice or recommendations you all might have.
Best regards,
Joel

Re: Visiting in March
Thanks for the recommendations! I'll be sure to adjust my travels so I can be at the Regensburg get together. So many places to see and visit. Might have to plan for a major road trip so I can get to Wolfsburg up North as well as Regensburg down south.
Cheers,
Joel

bin auch schon mit ihm in Kontakt. Er will sich melden, wenn er zum Stammtisch kommen kann.
Mal sehen, vielleicht haben wir ja noch mal Besuch aus Übersee auf unserem Stammtisch.

Re: Visiting in March
Hello All,
I am enjoying the snowy weather here near Auerbach. (I wish I had a Doka Synchro instead of an Opel rental car ) I most certainly will be there for the meeting on the 24th. I look forward to meeting up with you! I know exactly where the Zur Walba is located.
Cheers,
Joel
