details...- the name of the game is fun. this is a great weekend for the dglvk, the westcoast showdown 3, and all vw afficianados.
- all types of volkswagens are welcome. aircooled, watercooled, new, old, beaters, show cars, trailer queens, hoodrides, ratrods, cal-lookers, resto-lookers, euro lookers, 1/4 milers, nos, turbo, n/a...any and all vw's. the more the merrier.
- because this is city driving, the average speed will be 20mph. we will also be frequenting stoplights, so at times the group may be seperated into seperate packs of cars. we will do our best to stay together.
- tailgating, speeding or reckless driving will absolutely not be tolerated. if anyone is caught doing this, my friend gino will have his boot firmly planted where you dont want it. i'm serious.

i realize that there are an awfull lot of directions for such a short cruise, but i tried to choose the most direct route with the least amount of wierd sections. i will have a cellphone and i will make sure that if anyone gets lost that they know how to get ahold of me so we can get them back on track.
i have a couple questions for you all.
would it make it easier if each vehicle was provided with a map? would it make it easier if each vehicle had a copy of the directions above? does anyone have any suggestions for improvements or any feedback that they would like to add? is there anyone that would like to help out and take the lead or the tail or the middle to help keep all the vw's headed in the right direction?
i hope alot of people are into this. i know that a huge turnout of vw's would get alot of the city slickers rubber necking.
cheers.
