volksworld show 2006

Post by **Bootsy** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 3:26 pm

Well, I'm here and there are some truly new and amazing cars on display.

As usual there is chaos here so I am going to head back to the hotel tonight and get here bright and early to stake our position.

As you can see we have some spaces so if you're coming in a Porsche and can get here for 8.30am you'll be most welcome.

I'll post a post a few preview pics later.

Will do - I'll be there from about 7.30am to get in the front of the que for the club area and see where we can park up.

I'm just confirming after a long DDK absence that we'll be up on both the Ghia & S tomorrow.
We're meeting Steve Wright on the A24. See you there.

Hey Martin - cool I was wondering whether the Ghia would make an appearance

Just been to get the Cab' so she can have a wash and polish early in the morning

I thought I could fill a place on Sat. in addition to Sunday, said I would be up tomorrow to Bootsy, then remembered why I hadn't booked originally, so phoned again to confess my muppetry

.

Therefore I can't cover tomorrow, but remain fine for Sunday

Was woken up half an hour ago by v. heavy rain

. Hope it doesn't carry on like this ....

Anyway, once I remember how to get there, we'll see how the 914 does: it was running a bit poorly coming back from the MoT, and for one reason or another, I was out on the drive at 11.00 last night putting the carbs/manifolds back on after finding that the engine tinware was fouling the inlet manifolds, leading to airleaks

.

Feel ever so slightly stupid as I had refitted them like that (

). In my defense (your Honour) they had been like that since I have had the car, and it was tricky to see the problem. Still, must do better: 1/10. See you up there

.

P.S. I think the rain is easing off .....

The rest of the morning is forecast to be ok now that the band of rain has passed

Showers this afternoon though

Wish my speedster were more waterproof

Looking forward to the 45 mile drive as the car had been banished to the garage for the winter

what a show - great to see everyone & a host of new cars. there is some serious money being spent on the humble VW now... especially if it's a 23 window RHD Samba....

bought the Westie - so will now be doing some of the shows complete with family and BBQ, which should also save my hearing... after the round trip of 200 miles I was completely deaf, and that was with earplugs
