You cannot be serious. If you're in to VW's, stock, modified or custom, this is one of the best shows of the year...:beer:

I went to the first one in Birmingham? and been to 2 at Sandown but I just dont like it, I cant be bothered with fighting crowds indoors to look at cars 99% of which I wouldnt want to own anyway, not enough interest for me to go just to see maybe just the 1 or 2 really good stock or original cars that will be there. I have to really want to go to a show that is crowded. Especially Volksworld where every grubby oik drags his greasy chippy hands across other peoples pride & joys 😶 You must have seen the state of the cars on display there at the end of each day! :shock: I would put a razor wire electric fence around them, that would stop the buggers :lol:

Stanford Hall is miles better! :d

Owen is going one of the days just to deliver parts. He will be in our dove 65 bus (it will be in the front carpark/for sale area) I have been using it daily recently its so lovely but I am not allowed to keep it as a pet grr!!

...and leave us Oiks alone...I only go for the chips and a bugfondle.

In the unlikely event of anyone wanting to meet me...I'll be there on the Sunday.

:lol: Yes I hadnt thought of that, I have fixed it now! as I want us to keep it anyway :lol: Actually I put the pic up so you lot might pester him, you know how he hates that! :lol:

To be fair to the show, I do always tell anyone who has never been to go, as I think it's still a very good show, just not really my thing anymore.

its a bit like marmite isnt it!

yes the pain getting off the a3 is a nuisance and the ridiculous queues/prices of the fish and chips,but you do feel as though its the first big show and its best to go just incase you miss something(like the volksworld girls in skimpy catsuits!)

certainly no lavenham....

taking my dad with me,having a father/son bonding day if i can get him out of bed!

Alright Kev,you OK:wink:

A few people have made this remark.
If i found this was the case,i think it would only take the one visit :lol:

The thing about Volksworld,the cars might not be to your taste, but you must admit some of the work is of the highest quality.
Therefore you should visit and appreciate what is there.
Finish your stock cars to an equally high standard and apply to exhibit,then it will be more attractive for stock lovers to visit.
Many people complain about the show,but it is literally in your hands to change it.
I know Ivan and the crew won't turn a car away for being stock, it just needs to be well done.

I did not get involved in the general chat about the show as I thought I'd be on for a bashing if I said I have to admire the dedication and 'O.C.D' that goes into the modified cars. I realy do quite like them:oops: , Stock will always rule obviously,:d each to their own and all.

What about the Texas Browm sunroof? and the stock Samba?.......very nice.8)

Shame I was not there today would loved to have chat, I had to work Fri night. I originaly also had to work Sun night too but have managed to book it off. Ivan originaly mentioned puting my 58 on the Volksworld stand but I think I was religated to the lower ranks to facilitate a quick get away on the Sunday for work. (never mind) Still, at least we kept the other stockers company:d

Yes! I really shouldnt just skip to the end of the discussion!:roll: :lol:

Yes I saw the brown sunroof car but unfortunately it was not texas but medium brown! Not nearly as nice! :lol: I innitially thought that it was just a bad mix as it did not have the correct greenish fleck to it but upon reading the tech sheet, it said the colour! :wink:

I also (stupidly I know) rather liked the slammed Tempo Matedor outside! :shock: :roll: :lol: (50'Karmann ban?)

I'll be there tommorow so hope to see you around! Rest assured, I will be somewhere close to your car! 😎 :beer:

Ha. That's not all you have to worry about... you should have seen his green eyes while he was admiring your car earlier! I'm surprised he hasn't already asked you for dibs if you ever decide to sell it! Mind you, there's probably a long queue already. :d
