WCC 2006 Car Build, Just an idea before it leaves my brain. Options

[dan10101]

Just an idea for next year. Take it, build on it, toss it in the trash..

I just thought it would be cool to build a car for someone or auction it off for charity. We could gather parts before hand. Put it together in 24 hours or so.

Could even do a build-off with 2 cars.

Drag race it for pinks, or steal someones car out from under the junk in their garage and 'overhaul' it.. Oh, I've been watching too much Discovery Channel...

The Arizona Bus Club does something similar each year at their annual Jerome Jamboree in Setember. Next year will be 14 years that someone has left the Jamboree with a "new to them" pre-1968 split-screen bus. One year it was structurally restored, but still in primer. In recent years it's been pretty much fully restored. This year's winner bought $10 worth of raffle tickets. As far as I know, this is the only VW related organization/event that does this.

As far as participation is concerned, the Arizona Bus Club is pretty much the Phoenix Bus Club. Although the Raffle Bus has gone off to Yuma or Lake Havasu City for some of the work, for the most part it gets worked on at one member's house in Phoenix by whomever can show up. I'd love to participate, but it is usually in the evenings and so it's not realistic since I'm 2-1/2 hours away.

One thing for sure, it raises a lot of money for the Arizona Children's Burn Camp so it benefits a lot of kids who need these services. It also gets a very big crowd out for the Jamboree each year (you have to be present at the drawing to win).

p.s. - I'll be back again next September, hoping to finally win my bus!
