Some of us Ghia Forum "regulars" should try to get a group shot even if we don't have a Ghia anymore; or the car is not at the meet. Among them- Trylon, Marcdeb, xoo00oox, Bill S, moogie32, Stock Steve, Greg M, several of the CVA regulars, me; and if he's there, rbfara.

Cant wait , Its this weekend! Should be a great weather weekend. Camping Saturday night always great times. Sounds like food is available for purchase Saturday evening, for you campers whom are hungry.

If someone is in the area of the fair grounds can check out the area for the camping, and report back, how tall the grass is? If the grass is long again, I can swing by and give it a trim, in the next few days.

As always, what a great show. I wouldn't be surprised if it broke some kind of record

Good to see everyone and find out everyone is doing well... and being able to bust Bug City Dave's balls... always a pleasure of mine Laughing

found it funny that a bunch of my split/bay friends graduated to vanagon's, and few went on to eurovans. what is the world coming to? Shocked

Great show as always. Saw some fantastic cars there, loved the police bug. I got some pretty good video clips so there should be a video of the show soon.
Skills, I’d like to meet you at one of these shows sometime, be great to put a face with the name.

i'm the guy following Bug City Dave making off color comments ... should be ez to spot Laughing

no problem, next event shoot me a p/m and we can arrange something. i may try and go to the westbrook show this year

it was funny, a lot of people wanted to meet me this year, not sure if i should be honored or spooked out Shocked no one punched me in the mouth, so that was good. met a bunch of folks and was able to network pretty good.

the show was super busy, i wasn't able to track down some folks despite stalking their cars. like i said, there had to be some records broken. speaking to an event staff member he was almost positive there was a record broken

Good show again !! Looked like a HUGE crowd, not sure the ACVW's were a record, but a ton of WCVW cars. Good to have time to talk to most of the "old School" VW guys Saturday & Sunday. My Favorite Vw :

Eurovans are cooler than we thought! Come to the dark side - we have roofies.

You know 15 years ago we all made fun of the water pumpers because they were too new, but now even those new cars are vintage!
