Saturday in Pataskala at Watkins HS from 10 to 4. This is a wonderful show. I've been there a few years ago. There is a $5 spectator fee. COVVC - Volksfest 2014
I'll be doing Volksfest. I've had a whole infestation of Beetles in my younger years. Who'd a thunk they'd ever be worth real money. The times they are a changin.....
From what I observed there was little water cooled love to be seen. Maybe it's a Mini-MINI kind of thing??
Love old VW's!!!! but, ya might wanna be a little careful driving in and out from that show on Saturday. 7,000 pelotonia riders are going to be sharing some of those roads this weekend.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll be checking out the course map to make sure I'm no where near them. Edit- After checking the route I'm OK to head there & back, but I'd have been screwed if I tried to take one of my favorite back road drives. Those roads are going to be unusable this weekend. Thanks again.
If it's like most Mini/MINI things I've been to over the past year you'll be able to see Camaros, Corvettes, Studebakers.....
Love the different kinds of cars. Hope I see an Avanti & a Golden Hawk. Haven't seen any of those yet this year. Any of those on MINI takes the.... ?
There use to be an Avanti that I would see parked at work occasionally. I'm not sure that I've seen it this summer.
Avanti's are odd cars. There are the original ones & there are the newer versions. Only spotting feature I've noticed is the original had round headlight surrounds & the repop had square ones. Raymond Loewy sure did a great job designing it. http://www.danjedlicka.com/classic_cars/studebaker_avanti.html
I feel your pain 12hr days 6 days a week right now. But I'm taking 5 days off end of next week for a little R&R. You deserve a break today so get up and........:crazy:
This might be back at the top of my list of things to do tomorrow. Just found out that M.A.D. has to work. Unless I can convince her to drag Lil' B.A.D. to multiple Wallyworlds with her, him and I might go check out the v-dubs.
Volksfest pics..... Sure was an interesting show. I was there 8 years ago & I'm thinking it has grown 3 times over. I had lots of fun, but I fear Babs has her eyes on another. Cold German guy, with no sense of warmth what so ever. Besides he's an airhead. More pics here >>> 8-09-2014 Volks Fest - crashton
