From the first time I laid eyes on a big five I've wanted one...had a jackson, a playtech, and of course various vw buggies, I found a big 5 gen 2 in vegas and bought it (3.5 Honda)...bad news is it's in my brothers garage and I won't be able to sit in it until Halloween (gonna hit Glamis, we normally go during Prrez day but got really tired of the snow and ice, coming and going)

Thanks laidbackduner for posting the pics, my bro Chris will send pics and I'll post....I got to say "YOU GUYS ARE RELENTLESS" like a duck on a junebug about the pics, of course I curse out loud to myself when anyone else posts without pics, but I'll forgive me ha ha.
9skid9, will that put you at Glamis @ scary time, that would be great, you guys were great to visit and dune with, and yes I'm driving out, we have had enough snow and ice to and from in Feb .
Generalg, that would be great, the bigger the camp the better.
I've never been out at Halloween, how's the weather? day and night?
thanks all

Halloween is usually about the time of the year where it can still be a little warm during the day perhaps up to 90's BUT when the sun goes does it actually cools down for some relief.

Congtartulations and welcome aboard.

The Gen 2 was a solid car and an absolute blast to drive. Although not built to todays standard we had so much fun driving those light cars.

I spoke with your brother yesterday about some radio mounting options that may work for you .

Have fun and be safe !

Grant, thanks for all the help. Tim
