This past week, I went to San Angelo, TX to look at some oil and gas wells for a client's bid. It was mostly highway with a 75 MPH speed limit about 75% of the distance. Round trip was 850 miles and the Jetta ran like a fine tuned clock. I had the cruise set at 75 and the A/C on all the way. Car did mid-40's MPG and was rock solid on the road. It was the second long trip since the refurbish. Wife is used to her Santa Fe so this will be a bit different but OK I am sure.
We haven't set the menus yet other than the Friday meet & greet, which will be a traditional Wisconsin whitefish boil with all of the trimmings and sides.
How do you enter a car in this competition? (first timer here)
same question.
Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't sure what show & shine actually represented when I went through the sign up. Now that I see all the categories, I'd like to throw my old Jetta into the competition for a laugh. So as you say we can enter a car when we show up, I will do that if it actually makes it all the way to northern WI.
I thought I read somewhere in the Wiki where you can't win two years in a row.
Last Years Best in Show.....
Actually won in 2012 with a different car.....l didn't have a TDI in 2013 and no Fest in 2014....I thought I read somewhere in the Wiki where you can't win two years in a row.
(but my car class would be safe from that cherry bomb anyway)
I thought there was a Fest in 2015 in Maine?
Brain Fart Fest was in Maine 2013-2015 no fest in 2014
Got it. Thanks.
Brain Fart Fest? What's that? It sounds like something I should attend.
It's a long drive, for sure. I'm splitting it up into two days, as well. Hopefully your new boss will be willing to let you extend the holiday weekend a little bit.I really would love to come, but 14 to 20 hours (depending on the route) in one day wouldn't be possible so two days to and two days from takes me away from a job I just started for 4-5 days
I may run it by my manager just to see if it is possible though
Sorry to hear and I hope you get past the health issue. I was hoping to get to meet another older member from back East. Well, your health is more important than anything else so take care of yourself if you don't make the trip.I am Having some Medical problems and I am finding it very hard to drive for long periods of time now.....I might have to drop out
I'm doing the 1240 mile trip straight thru, like I normally do when I drive 1400 miles from Nashua NH to Cocoa Beach FL on vacation. The NH to FL trip normally is 22 hours of driving, 25 actual hours due to stops along the way.It's a long drive, for sure. I'm splitting it up into two days, as well. Hopefully your new boss will be willing to let you extend the holiday weekend a little bit.
Sorry to hear. Get well soon!I am Having some Medical problems and I am finding it very hard to drive for long periods of time now.....I might have to drop out
It kept me out of work for a few days after TDIfest.
Jason is flying again this year, so you're welcome to ride up with me in the Passat if you're up for being a passenger!I am Having some Medical problems and I am finding it very hard to drive for long periods of time now.....I might have to drop out
I checked air rates and just too expensive.....I was going to leave on Wednesday, but we have Tickets to a CirQ show in Hershey on Wed Night,and at this Point I get Bouts of Double Vision after driving 5-6 hours I am trying to work it out been to the Eye Doctor not sure at this point probably related to the Diabetes.....
or just getting old..
Yeh I know....besides Fred And Jon And PeterV who have never missed a Fest I have Made all but 2 and I never want to Miss.....My Favorite time of the Year besides Christmas!
I'm really looking forward to that!
I may have made it to all TDIFests, but my attendance with my own VW is at 20% and 13% with a TDI and it will drop further this year. I think your % is a little better than that!
My attendance with "a" TDI is pretty dismal as well. Yes, I've been to all, but I've had, I think, any one TDI at no more than three. Some of my TDI never went to a fest.
