I think you have your dates mixed up there is nothing at the Harwinton Fair Grounds today, the bug in was back in June.

Posted by: drewvw Aug 20 2006, 09:40 PM

I went today and there be many air cooleds there. Good show...

Posted by: pfierb Aug 21 2006, 02:29 AM

So tell me where you were? I was in front of the Harwinton Fair Grounds at 1:00 pm and there was not a soul there and the gate was locked. This sounds like the movie Gaslight.

Posted by: pfierb Aug 21 2006, 03:33 AM

The show was at the Terryville Fairgrounds not the Harwinton Fairgrounds.
Oh well it was a nice day for a ride

Posted by: drewvw Aug 21 2006, 07:13 AM

yeah that sounds right. I apologize, I'm not familar with the area so the names all sounded the same to me. I think the big problem was that the sites info was wrong.

heard some guy talking about a show in NJ in the fall, at a german social club in the woods.

Any pics? I've been to several dozen VW events but none recently. VW's got me into messing around with cars life.

I forgot my camera which sucked...i hadn't been to a pure VW aircooled show in a long time.

I enjoyed it, there was a super clean bus there that I really liked.

Did anyone see a 550 spyder there with my engine installed?? I have a customer from 6 years ago that usually drives his 2270 beast to that show..
