Mark, you should listen, we only really talk up about 5 shows a year and they are much more fun and better then your average show. Slow Riders Slam is one of them that is coming up.

Below is the trophy (18x24) and a paper on the trophy they gave out at Flanders. Even though my class had the finest car in the state in it I managed to bring home the first place prize.

 Great going all!   2nd year in a row, we got some reputation now! - well, we always had a rep, but this is a good rep!   It was a nice day, and although I was at the Hagley car show in De, I was letting other bug members there know of SJVWC!  Maybe one or 2 will join!!!!!

Jack, nice layout of the photos, with year banners then the cars - I liked that!

Looks like a great turn out, I should be there next year, and planning on the slam and slumber show!


Matt


  No one missed the tent I bet

Hey guys, just sobered up from the campout out. Apparently we were the rowdy ones! Who would have thought? Hands down this is still my favorite show. I think I convinced my friend Matt to buy a VW of his own... ok maybe not! I'll drag him out to another event soon. He said he had a great time. Just goes to show that even non-member can have a great time!
Didn't take many pictures... due to drinking, but here are some.

It was funny watching the guy wipe down his car the day before the show... and I was tipsy so basically everything was funny.

What a great show!  Thanks for pushing us to victory guys, you ROCK!!  Camping was super fun, though rowdy(we'll leave it at that ;-) ) Live bands, day & night.  Kids games, good swap, and tons of rare and super nice VW's. 
 
This is definitely one of the best local shows.  Loved it!!!
