I'm headed up to the Vancouver area on Saturday for the Boston Pizza GTG and then will be showing my car on Sunday. Will anyone else here be around for the show this weekend?

The Great Canadian Volkswagen Show will welcome approximately 5000 car enthusiasts and their families to Langley's Events Center 7888 - 200th Street Langley, BC

Air cooled and water cooled, new and old will be on display and ready for judging throughout the park. Families can enjoy taking part in a variety of activities and vendors will be showcasing what’s hot on the market. As a sponsor of the event, this is your opportunity to have face to face interaction with customers, new and old.

Western Canada's largest VW event attracts some of the finest Stock and Custom VWs from around the Pacific Northwest, including many past and present Hot VWs Magazine feature cars (18+ cars shot at past GCVW shows). Over 60 awards in 23 Classes. All types of VWs in any condition welcome. Dealer Displays, Swap Area, 50/50 Draw, Trivia Contests and more...an entire day of VW fun for the whole family!

Entry to the show is free for spectators. The fee for displaying your VW is $25 CAD .. Save $5 on your show shirt by using the pre reg forms at www.gcvws.com (pre reg will open June 1 2011). Space cannot be reserved or guaranteed on show day. Registration takes place from 8am to 11am on show day.

Swap Meet Area spaces are available for every type of VW parts vendor. We offer small private (15' x 15') swap spaces for $40. For dealer displays and new product vendor areas, please contact the show administrator to pre-register (no day-of-show registration). Swap setup opens at 7am and closes when space is filled (on a first come, first-served basis) and is usually full by 10am.

there's usually been more diesel cars at this event than at waterwagens/waterwerks

if anyone here does go.. check out my car and see if I'm around. I'll probably be seen wiping my car down for the first couple hours on Sunday :D

I didn't take any photos today.. it was too hot. I've lost a lot of motivation to take photos at shows recently anyway... for various reasons.

I did place first in the class though.. with a silver 2009 mk5 jetta tdi placing second.
