You work? What's your secret!?Ran out of time at work.
I could do it through Tapatalk on my phone, but I'd rather upload them to the TDIClub pic server, which requires a bit more time and patience.

The Passat is available in a great new red.

Nice pics! Man, I forgot to look at the Titan. Looks like they had a nice setup. Was in and out too quick this year.

I was really impressed by the Titan. It is going to be a nice truck, and I think they are being very conservative with the 1500 badge.
Would more time be better next year? It's almost too packed to see anything by early afternoon, but we can always add a little more time if that's what the group wants. There certainly is a ton of cool stuff to see.

My wife and I thought the time frame was perfect but we don't oogle every single vehicle with a toothpick. As for the pics, those are some very nice shots you have! The karting was fun and you were correct, Shrek sized people CAN fit! Hopefully next year I will actually get to small talk with more people as I really only got to small talk at breakfast with "stinky fingers" and "hughesjasonk" (I think). Were we supposed to stay as a group?

Naw your schedule works fine. We ran outta there around noon to catch a Basketball game.
I sat in the Ram 1500 and it was very nice. Much nicer than the Colorado, but it is a bigger truck. I still miss my 2500 duramax. Kinda want a smaller truck but they are 40k+ these days.

That said, I thought I read that they're beefing up the XD specifically, so the gassers will probably be lighter duty. (And, the XD launches first, too.)

The time frame was prefect. The group thing never really works out. It's really tough to keep everybody together.
Which was nice this year at the VW venue they had tables and chairs up stairs.

I'm glad that the time frame worked out. Next year we should all swarm VW as a group first, then drift through the show in the usual fashion in smaller groups. Perhaps meeting up in the driver's lounge rather than at the statue when we're done would be a good idea, too. Start and end the show with a nice TDIClub presence.
As for the pics, those are just straight up shots with the iPhone 6. It does a pretty good job.

I forgot to include this pic, or more likely tried to forget about it. Just because it says "DIESEL," it doesn't mean it's OK.
I read in the UK Car magazine today that Range Rover AssUVs are girlier than Beetles. Hmmm, do women have a greater occurrence of bad taste?
I also read in the same magazine that the BMW 32xd wagon was better than the Audi A4 or Mercedes C-something that we don't get: five stars, where the Merc and Audi got 4.
