I have lived in San Jose for 30 years and have never made it to this show. This is including the 17 years that I have owned a 1969 Standard Beetle. My wife and I took our five year old son this year. We had a wonderful time. It was a great family event. We will never miss another show!

Please enjoy my video

Nice video, thanks for posting that! I was hoping to see some pictures posted from the event but the video is even better.

I need to try to get down there next year. Looks like it's worth the drive.

Thank you, Rene. I tried to mix photos and video. Have you been to that show before? We really enjoyed it!

I went in the 1990s when I had a '50 split (though I didn't take it there -- I went as a tourist). I had forgotten how big it was until I saw your video. I do need to go next year.

My Pleasure. The VW community is fabulous and they were all very cool to talk with and trade stories with.

I attended for the first time as well. Really enjoyed seeing the large gathering of a diverse set of cars. Got some good deals in the swap meet as well.

I thought it was very well done. Kelley Park is perfect for a car show with the way the roads wind through the park. They also hold concerts there during the summer, I may have to check one out!
