I (Tony) went to the VW festival at Harewood house in Leeds yesterday for my first time. We set of quite late, and it started to rain, so it looked like we were set for a nice normal northern day out. But luckily for us it passed pretty quick, and when we arrived at the show it was nice and sunny.

We arrived at about 3pm and thought it would of quietened down, but the show was still really busy and showed no signs of getting quiet any time soon.

As we were walking through the carpark the amount of high quality car’s was crazy already, like this amazing Mk5 sat in the weeds.

Then we got into the show and their was more mk5 goodness (Got a thing for Mk5′s at the mo) to be enjoyed.

Then I stumbled across the best kid’s toy ever. Wish when i was a wee wipper snapper that my dad made/bought me one of these. Pure awesome.

Then you had all the usual motor’s you’d expect to see at a VW show, like these super clean Mk1′s.

Clean Mk2

Jimmy’s family wagon Mk3 looking spot on with the TT comps.

Subtle Mk4 sat on Breyton’s.

And there was a nice selection of older VeeDub’s too. Like this spotless Beetle.

Then we had some ratted bus’ which looked the nuts.

There’s some more pictures up on my Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/42503655@N05/sets/72157627313762215/

Cheers.

A few of us made the trip down (and up) to this years DC11 show held at Turweston Aerodrome. After setting off early sunday morning in the rain, i wasn’t expecting to have the best day. (Also had to replace a coilpack on saturday afternoon. Managed to get a new one just before the shop closed ) Anyway, the further south we went the weather started to pick up (SHOCK!) slightly. Although it wasn’t much, as it was pretty cloudy all day long. But dry! Right less of my ramblings and onto the show.

It was my 1st time at a DC show this year, and 1st impressions were good. I liked the location of the show with planes dotted about on site, then there was a large pond in the middle too. Made for nice backdrop, which i didn’t really capitalise on at all with the photo’s. Ooops.

I didn’t really take that many photo’s either, so here’s the best of what i did. Enjoy.

The Team JapSpeed Subaru drift car has been STOLEN. This happened earlier tonight. It was taken from the Maxxis Tyres (UK) Stand at the Performance Vauxhall show at Santa Pod.

If you have any information or saw ANYTHING please get in touch with the guys at Japspeed … Or at the very least copy this onto your facebook wall, twitter or anywhere else that you feel fit.

Lets try and get these tw@ts caught who did this.

Now share, share, share.

Thanks.

Cheers Si Gray.

Still got loads of pics to sort through, and seemingly no time to do it! But here’s a pic of a car that caught my eye at the show.

Some of you may of already seen this on our facebook page, but if you haven’t seen it then we now seem to have some boyband types amongst us.

We should also have a load of pics up later on of the whole trip to Belgium and the show itself.
