Chirco's new media page

Our Buddy Lemorris has put together a new site that is going to have all of our photos and movies from all of our events and other fun times. He has really put a lot of effort in getting the Media page toether.
If you have not seen it yet, take a look.
Thanks Lemorris.

The Mango Bus is going to Texas

This morning Jay from Texas came out to pick up his new Bus.
It's always fun selling these to folks who really enjoy the vintage VW cars.
I could see Joe was very happy for Jay.



Jay we hope you have a great time with this Bus and drive safe back to Texas.

This struck Joe and I as funny

Joe and I were reviewing our online presence, and I was sharing with him that I thought that it wasn't just other Air Cooled sites that we compete with. I shared with him that some of the monster automotive sites carry the same parts we specialize in. Similar to most chain stores carry spark plugs and other basic parts for Bugs. I was showing him one of the largest sites that has 24 hour live chat, so we started do some searches for items that could never fit an Air Cooled car. We were laughing like kids at some of the parts they had listed. Don't get me wrong, these guys are power houses of the business. It was just funny.

We put some vintage video's in the Chirco forums

I thought these we very cool and wanted to share them.

Here is a link to part two.

Welcome Aboard Brian

A month ago I posted around the Air Cooled world that
I needed help in our receiving department.
Brian showed up the next morning and we hired him the same day.

Brian has been a customer of ours for around for years with two different beetles.
He is also a newer member of the Tucson chapter of D3 Daileydrivendubz.

Brian has quickly fit right into this nut house and is doing a great job.

Are you one of our friends on Myspace?

Chirco's Myspace page
Our Myspace page has been up for a few years now and it has been very interesting communicating with other air cooled folks out there. The Myspace environment is extremely creative and we're proud to be a part of it. If you have a Myspace page we encourage you to "Add" Chirco as a friend.

Have you seen the Chirco Forums recently?

Lemorris and I have been working in the Chirco.com Forums recently.

The stats for the forums have by far exceeded our expectations we had back in 1986 when we launched it. It now has over 2 million page views with over 18,000 posts by over 1500 members.

What we have tried to accomplish, is to make so our customer can find the articles to fix or upgrade their cars. Lemorris put together a banner campaign that links to the most popular threads that customers need. We have even found vintage video’s that show stock carburetor adjustments, valve adjustments and timing. If you have some free time, please surf around.

We are branching out to main stream shopping sites.

This is a new market for us, but with so many new e-customers out there
we felt it was time to share our items on a more traditional site.

Chirco has been on eBay for over 5 years with great success.
We love having e-newbies and e-pros a like find us on what has to be the coolest place to find items. It is never boring trying to find new customers.
