Anyone going to the Tradex show this weekend?
« on: April 21, 2009, 09:09:51 PM »
Two of the best VW Beetles will be on display this weekend. Lanny will have Joe's amazing Black beetle and Darren Dilleys White Oval in his booth. If you haven'r seen these cars in person nows your chance, Top notch all the way!

Anyone else heading out with a car?

My Bro and I will have the 54 Buick and the 59 Ford truck on display.

Drop by and say hi.

Hey Geoff, I am planning on checking it out. I dont think I would fancy having to compete against those two.

I am planning on heading there. My boss has his shelby gt500 and one of his javlins on the display. Sounds like it might be a good show.

Neither car is registered to show, just display. I'd better be prepared for the 'My buddy's car had a Porshe engine in it' comments. Gonna be a long weekend.. :)

Lanny why don't you put your car in the show as well ??? All three cars sitting there would look cool.

My personal favorite is the "I had one just like this. It was a 74 super beetle."
