An early start to a Sunday saw me heading down to the Telford Convention
Centre for what’s deemed the opener for the Volkswagen show season, where the
cars built over the winter months first see the light of day. Now this isn’t a
show I’d been to before so I didn’t really know what to expect when I arrived
at the already full car park at 8am!!!!
With guaranteed good weather clubs and show cars descended on
Bodelwyddan Castle for one of the best VW shows in the north, if not the UK. I
was there representing the Scirocco Register with my trusty Mk2 so an early
start was needed for a full day at the show.
It’s the first weekend in August which in the northwest of England means
its Volkswagen Northwest and the early start to a Sunday morning. I was there
for the day as I had arranged the Scirocco Register’s club stand so had plenty
of time to take it all in. Well if the rain that was forecast held off.
Like previous years (2012, 2011, etc) there were club areas,
concours area, auto jumble, for sale area and general sales for anything from
tools and parts to plants and cupcakes.
With this event being so close, as well as me getting some
work done there in the past on my Scirocco, I had virtually no excuse for not popping over to
this at Awesome's work shop. In fact for those don't know Awesome specialise in modifying
and customising anything from the VAG family album, and this was its annual
open day.
This is a show that well and truly on my calendar (2012,
2011 etc), in the last few years I've not only attended but had my Scirocco on
the Scirocco Registers club stand, which meant I got to see the whole show from
start to finish. So after an early start (6am) I drove the 70 miles from
Manchester to Abergely to meet up with my fellow Scrirocco's before heading
back to Bodelwyddan Castle for the day. And what a day definitely one of two
halves. The start was one of low cloud and the constant threat of rain while
the afternoon was clear blue skies and sunburn!!!!
