Diversity. That's the name of the game. It is so easy to become blinkered by the vehicles we see at each and every show, so every now and then it's nice to mix things up a bit - like modern cars? Go to a classic car show. Like aircooled v-dubs? Go to GTI event... and so on.
So this morning we took a trip over to Awesome GTI in Manchester for the DetailedUK Summer Bash. I was expecting a handful of cars, maybe 30 or so. What I was greeted with were several large car parks full of quality motors from the water-cooled scene.
The van drew a few looks from passers-by even though the budget is nowhere near some of the machinery on display. But for a couple of T4s and a Sportline T5 we where the only other van there. Which is cool - it gives the crowd that only ever sees Lupos, Golfs and various Audis something different to look at.
The visit has certainly inspired me to finish off the van in a few areas - some final carpet lining, tidying up the interior, colour-coding the bumpers... and it would be nice if the van was a little lower too!
