We did not charge for the Show-N-Shine this year!Hamsterdiesel said:BTW - We did institute a $5 'cover' charge for entering the Show n Shine to help generate extra funds needed to supply better than average awards.

And we had a donation that helped offset much of the award cost!VeeDubTDI said:There was no charge for the show and shine this year, and I think we were able to get some pretty nice awards from Crown. We ended up spending about $600 on the awards for this year, which I think is a pretty good deal.
We should add this in the future. We can present the awards with pictures of the winner up on screen at the banquet, too.valvecrusher said:How about some pictures, for those of us who were unable to attend the fest?
It would be nice to see the placers in each class....
Sorry about that - we HAD instituted that fee which did help until Langhorne started being a regular with monetary donations.airwolf said:And we had a donation that helped offset much of the award cost!
The raffle bunched things up this year. There were a ton of items!Hamsterdiesel said:We used to have the show run 'til 3pm and the banquet not start until 6pm. I thought things were a little bunched up this year.
It would be nice to call the number (or name if written on back of ticket), and hand off the prize/ticket/bin to the recorder. Then come back to unclaimed items at the end.VeeDubTDI said:I understand the promo for the donors, but time is at a premium on Sunday (and the rest of the weekend, too). The raffle drawing really needs to be kept to an hour if at all possible. For the sake of the raffle announcer's voice and legs, the volunteers sanity, and the audience's attention span.
The hood partially open allows the judges to see the front edge of the hood for paint damage AND to allow a view of the engine bay.Stealth TDI said:My favorite protests come from those with fantastic paint, a hood that's opened just 10-degrees to hide the dirty engine bay, and an interior with debris on the carpet.
FWIW, my main reasons for entering a car show: 3) to get a great parking spot!
Me too, i hang out on Vortex, here, and a few aircooled vw sites. I can't understand the "more ground clearance" on these TDI forums. Why? Are they offroading their cars? Some of those CCAers are around Toronto. They get together every summer to cruise. My personal taste is OEM Mods. Most of the aftermarket stuff is of cheap quality. I liked your car alot. Nicely done! Don't see the rice'd out VW's much on vortex. Mostly nice clean cars. Seems like everyone has come to their senses.G60ING said:The Vortex is a very different world then the TDI Club where Being Low is taken to the extreme (the most popular saying is that you ain't dubbin if you ain't rubbin) or you are a BBS RS/RM wheel lover. I hate rubbing and I hate cleaning wheels so I would never own BBS RSs even though I love how they look. Where that puts me is that I'm too mild for the vortex even though I like being lowered and somewhat showy. In the TDI world some mod their cars so they can get more ground clearnace. In the TDI world I think I might be considered too extreme for most even though I eat breath and sleep diesels in my cars now. I'm a CCAer (Corrado Club of America) member 190(still have my card) but since the Site has been very dead for the past 8 years I have been hanging else where. I like walking the edge of both worlds.
I disagree....The tasteful mods were on the cars of the younger folk. The Older crowd had ricer lights, neons, and some weird homemade grills/spoilers. The younger crew's mods were tastefull OEM+ mods. later,Petetomo366 said:TDI Club is generally a more MATURE group........The Mods tend to be more usable and tasteful........Read not "RICE"![]()

I guess you didn't notice the 4x4 stance with the funky tailights of the 1st place Golf, or the 2nd placed interior which was highlighted with pink neon tubes? Or where to start on that blue MK5 Jetta?tomo366 said:Disagree all you want.........![]()
That is hot! Beautiful car, done right. I was assuming it would place high. I'm confused it wasn't shown any love.xtrooper89 said:The 337/20th replica is mine. I personally like the OEM route. But I did see some nice TDI's at the fest. Please chime in on what my car is missing. I expected a bit more positive from the judges?

I too thought it would have placed very well. Maybe you were lacking points in a catagory that hurt?xtrooper89 said:The 337/20th replica is mine. I personally like the OEM route.
