Yes, chaps, it's that time of year again, just over a month away too...

Eshrules Enterprises will be attending (I will be camping over in the world's biggest tent)

I have 2 questions for you

1. Will you be attending?
2. Will you be able to spot me?


for the 1st question, I have set up a poll. I will be taking along a collection of my v-checker range, as well as hoping to have my new Vscreen set up within the golf for demonstrations. I will be on hand to provide fault scans and advice for anyone who wishes to find me. This is an excellent opportunity for some of you to meet me in person and vice versa, as well as having a 'play' with some fault scanners, or perhaps for some of you, simply learning a bit more about the diagnostic process.

for the 2nd question, there will be a new thread uploaded on the 15th of August, before I set off for the weekend, with a very 'unique' prize giveaway, more details to follow.


Further Details on the Festival can be found here

I'd like to say I'd go but I can't tell for sure yet. I'm going to the VW Northwest meet in Knutsford the week before that and aparently Dudey Head has challenged me to a drinking contest. All depends if I managed to recover by the 16th or 17th...

that's a whole week to recover ;) if not, simply begin drinking again on the friday before VWfestival and turn it all into one big blur :approve:

I like your suggestions. They are... how shall I put it... "Inspiring" :D

Good grief guys, this is a poor response, even by current standards, surely with 120 views, there are more than 6 people with an opinion on this?

come on guys, this is a unique opportunity, let's see some support?

I've heard the phrase before, just before I head the phrases "Every bump is a step to the top", "Exposure is key" and " :AR15firin:Blush:"
