mark your calendars and head to the island! there is usually a fair size group from the mainland that heads over together on Saturday, the Victoria folks are great hosts, the events are fun, the show venue is spectacular and it's always a good time (the host hotel parking lot party was pretty wild last year with bus burnouts, homeless kenny's bike wheelies & ryan smyth stories from uncle johnny)

silas · « **Reply #22 on:** July 14, 2014, 12:24:01 PM »

it was another awesome weekend in Victoria with our island friends. the VVWC are very gracious hosts and all the events are always a lot of fun! no exploding bus trannys at the host hotel this year but she was giv'n 'er pretty good, followed by a "whoooooooooo!" by Andrew.

great to see lots of ASF members, DVKK, SGVWA and Zundfolge Car Club members out & about!

I didn't take much, and didn't take a single photo of a bus. But hey, if you like super beetles...hahaha.

DVKK & Zundfolge cars. Thanks again to Silas for bringing a tent to keep us all in the shade.
