How "volks" is it, or is it a little more "vag" ??

[angel18082005]

it does seemto be mainly beetles and campers.

however saying that there is a mix of everything, passats, jettas, ventos, mk1/2/3/4/5 golfs, transporters, boras, etc and the dealers go there so you get tourags and all the new models etc on show.

all the cheap parts etc are available on traders stalls etc, some used old parts, some vintage ornamental vw memorablia, you get traders selling prints, drawings, registration plate makers, clothes stalls (vw themed)

so it has elements of vag and vw if you see what i mean. something for everyone. plus it just has a general good atmosphere.

i love it! (hope that answers your question?)

Being a skoda owner yes it does (I would get stoned trying to get in )

I just wondered if it was like GTI international, which was/is more of a VAG family show, hence seat, audi and Skoda welcome too.

[angel18082005]

oh dont get me wrong you get people turning up in corsas...lol

you see skodas and audis there some opal too but not a great deal

all are welcome dont get me wrong but to in my opinion you get 80% beetle and camper 15% golf/jetta/bora etc and 5% other

i think youd have a fab day
