Welcome to GbodyForum

I love going to the mountains here in NC, they're only a little over an hour away

Welcome aboard Russell.
Don't be ashamed about being into air cooled VW's. Air cooled VW's and Porsches rock. I've been an air cooled fan since the early '70's...and I still dig the simplicity and engineering of these little gems. 8)

I've never made it up to the NC mountains, but it's on my list of things to do.

Unfortunately, I've only seen the spectacular views in books and magazines...and of course you can't beat the scenery on the legendary Blue Ridge Pkwy.
I'll have to cruise up that way sometime. I heard the view during the fall season is out of this world.
