Title: Re: 2010 VW Classic

20 hour drive, maybe a bit longer in a VW. You can do it in 2 days pretty easy.
Title: Re: 2010 VW Classic
Post by: Geoff on December 11, 2009, 02:45:56 PM

so whos in so far? what would everyone feel like driving in a day? i was kinda thinking about planning a certain drive time and such, then booking camp sites for everyone who wants to drive down and party at nite! we was talking about taking the coast down just for some good photo ops and all that grand stuff, what is everyone else planning? are we all wanting to go in one huge group?
Title: Re: 2010 VW Classic
Post by: vwboop on December 27, 2009, 10:38:52 PM
Just for reference - Date for the Classic is Sunday June 13th. DKP on the Friday 11th? Casual non-rush drive including part of the coast (3-4 days?). Leave on Monday June 7th or Tuesday June 8th?? We are in as you know for a group cruise down (safety in numbers). Camp or cheap hotels?
Title: Re: 2010 VW Classic
Post by: steveo_32 on December 27, 2009, 11:16:57 PM
I think 3 to 4 days is cool with our lot, me, lester, and my old man.

Or just pound it into 24hrs !!!!!  :evil1:

Post by: Geoff on January 01, 2010, 01:36:19 PM
Crown Plaza in Irvine, when you book ask for the VW Classic rate. Not sure if that deal is set up yet.

If one decided to fly, air canada was offering a sale @ $80 plus taxes each way. (i think $250 total return) Could leave on a thursday and return on a tuesday.
Title: Re: 2010 VW Classic

That's a very good deal, if your thinking about going book now you won't regret it!

looking for a trailer to rent or buy, long enough to hual two buggies-22'? We're jacked to go to the show, two buggies on the trailer and another in the pickup box. Hopefully hitting some dunes along the way, anyone else interested or know where to look to rent a trailer? A buddy has one for his dragster but it weighs 7000lbs. Yikes!
