Show report: VAG Squadron at JCT600

They say there's no such thing as a free lunch. Well 'they' are wrong - nothing like a bit of good old Yorkshire hospitality courtesy of the newly opened JCT600 dealership in Wakefield who kindly opened their doors (and their forecourt and their car park) for the VAG Squadron crew to put on a little Sunday Show.

The free hog-roast was a bit of a welcome surprise and was perfect nourishment after the hours of polishing the van. The event was also VAG Squadron's first birthday party and a good excuse to get together on an un-seasonally warm and sunny afternoon and raise a bit of money for charity.

I spent most of the weekend's daylight hours trying to get the van as spotless as possible, as far as my detailing skills (and lack of equipment) will allow.

Parked up with another five T5's we definitely held our own and received loads of positive comments from young and old alike, just one minor negative when a few 'characters' decide to just climb in the van, I was not impressed.

In all, it was a great little gathering; a few show trophies and a raffle, money raised for a worthy cause, and a free lunch. Who could ask for more...?

Apologies again for the lack of 'regular' blogging. There's a few projects and maintenance jobs to do over winter, and we're attempting to camp at least once a month throughout winter too, right through until the show season starts again in 2014.
