Title: VW Canada's Free Driving Tour September 7,8,9 (actually in Pitt Meadows)
Post by: bwaz on August 07, 2012, 07:07:39 PM
Of course everyone needs something to do after the Great Canadian weekend... so in the final leg of my car's journey across Canada with Volkswagen, the event called the Free Driving Tour will be in Pitt Meadows on September 7, 8th and 9th.

To register, just go online to http://vwexperience.ca/tour/ and register to drive one of VW's new cars around a set track! I did it here in Toronto a couple of times in a new Turbo Beetle and had a blast. Free to drive, and you'll likely get a prize of some sort by going through the display. I was thinking it would be fun to get a bunch of us out Friday night the 7th. Still space available.... They're on facebook too, http://www.facebook.com/vwcanada#! where you can see some cool photos of an old beetle ;)

Can we just show up or do we have to register? I think that it would be a blast if a bunch of us showed up.

you can just show up, but I think they like registration for numbers as the space isn't that large. You do need to register if you want to drive one of the new cars around their track. I just got an email yesterday about still trying to do something special for the local VW group, will pass that info on as soon as I know.

still time to register for next weekend if you want to drive a new VW product on the closed track. Likely the last time to check out mine and Geoff's fine work on my old beetle until the spring!
