Great weekend! Wish I could have made the Breakfast and cruise, but the rest of it was a blast. Next year, could you turn the heat down a little

WOW what a great effort was what made the 17th such a success.

I'm sure everyone went home happy.

Thanks to all who made it happen as there is so much to organise and follow through.

Thank you all.

Just wanted to thank the people who put this show on. I am new to the world of vws and to this site. I am impressed what a great crew here and an awesome show. One of the better shows I have been to in a while hands down. Even my brother whos not a fan of vws( i know WTF) enjoyed it too. We both had a smile ear to ear. You all have some show winners here.

Thanks to all that made it happen. I came up for a few hours and spent some time with some Quality people. Thanks for the shade and the ride to the car Shane. I made it home by 5:00.

piercedvw · « **Reply #17 on:** August 18, 2008, 11:29:18 AM »

Yes thankyou to everyone who brought the show together!...Another year, another cd full of photos and video.

Judging was a blast also, and WOW.. yes in future I will appreciate those people more!!.. That was nearly 5 hours of scoring vehicles and adding totals under the death wrath of the sun. I got burnt and suffered a night of horrible sunstroke. Though it was soooo worth it.

Thankyou also to whoever helped Shawn when the gas in my truck expanded and poured out under the heat. I can only imagine the choas in which that caused.

Luckily and thankfully no damage was incurred. Thankyou thankyou thankyou.

The ladies roller derby team wants to also thank show organizers for allowance to be present this year. It was a new experience for a lot of the girls who are normally around more 4 wheeled skates than cars..lol Looks like they had a blast (at times too much..lol)

Thanks to everyone!!!

Chris E. · « **Reply #18 on:** August 18, 2008, 11:37:56 AM »

Great job to all who made it happen! This show was HUGE, and the way it's growing, in a couple years this park won't be big enough to handle the volume of cars.

Well done everyone!

"By the way I dunk the girls for ya."

Thanks!

Oh.... I have to say thankyou to Shawn too.. He helped me tremendously this week to get stuff ready!

And...... apparently arranged for a little blue tent to follow Chris and Gina home, which is now getting setup in my carport!!!!!

Holy, that was my first year at the GCVW's and I have to say.... You guys at the DVKK know exactly how to put on a good show, more eye candy there then i would care to count...

I'll definately be coming back next year

piercedvw · « **Reply #22 on:** August 18, 2008, 01:00:40 PM »

Oh.. and if the owners of the kindly donated flywheels that helped get my truck on an angle want them back.. I have them still.

my girlfriends nephew & i were standing by the dc and we noticed something dripping from the right rear 1/4. i got down & smelled it & sure enough it was gas. we immediately knew it was a full tank trying to vent from the filler on a hot day. i called carlos...carlos called shawn who had the keys to the dc...and we were on it. mark (i'm pretty sure that's his name...from victoria with that sweet sc) stepped up with a gerry can and a hose & shawn siphoned out a few litres. i'm pretty sure the flywheels belong to the guys from victoria with the busses.

crisis diverted.

Congratulations to all involved. I'm always amazed at how many people show up from out of town to take in the festivities. I guess it goes to show just how great a VW weekend the GCVWS really is.

Rocco_Buehler · « **Reply #29 on:** August 19, 2008, 01:55:27 PM »

Hey all,

So my brother and I made it up with our '72 sundial from Kelowna and it was our first time at GCVW.....it was AWESOME....we made everything but the drags...breaky was awesome, cruise was fantastic, BBQ was great, and show was epic

My cousin came out, and has changed his ways from wanting to dump money into a celica and is looking at rabbits now....loves seeing what you can do to them. He got home from the BBQ and was on craiglsist right away.

Thanks again to all the DVKK guys and everyone who put it on

It was awesome meeting a couple members.....Silas....and the guy that sold us our new tent for the bus (I'm sorry man I forgot your name but seriously....it was SO appreciated)....and lets not forget the rat bus "mooneyes"....it was awesome chatting with you about our type 2's....especially since there wasn't a whole lot of bay windows at the BBQ

We'll see you next year FOR SURE (probably the whole family though, The Brother's camper, my scirocco, and my dad's GTI)

The Buehler Bros
Ryan and Kevin
