Big thanks to Silas and Geoff for working out my very late entry into the show area. The combination of Crankworx, going to bed at 5am the night before and driving an airbrake-like roof rack full of bikes down to the show meant I didn't arrive until 1pm! 

The size of the show was definitely impressive this year, felt far larger then last year and the cars were seriously impressive. Big kudos to the organizing teams, I know how tough it is, but your execution came off flawless.

I hope the welding will be finished on that roll bar before it heads down the track though!

This was my first VW car show, it was everything I imagined it would be, and more, thank you so much! O0

On a side note, I enterd the gates to the show around 10 am. The two guys that were welcoming and directing people were to go, asked if I was intrested in gates for my 65 single cab. Of course I am! ;D After I parked I could not track them down. If you guys read this please contact me by PM, or phone (604) 535-4248 Cell 778-866-4248

Thanks, and best regards Jeff

Assuming we're talking about the Fiat 500, I believe the welds weren't finished all the way around where the rear stays meet the main hoop. Normally I would take photos of that sort of thing, but for whatever reason didn't yesterday. If you slide your sunroof back, take photos of both junctions it will probably jog my memory.
