T3@VW meets (was Re: bugout Maple grove)

Hi everyone,

	*take*pictures* of T3s at your local shows!  I'd love to add 
shots of T3s at shows on the web pages.  Contact me about how to get 'em 
up on the site.

	Also... if you're going to your local show, "enter" your T3 even 
if it's not a prize-winning show stopper.  I started doing this, and it's 
loads of fun:  1) you can get free stuff incl. dash plaques; 2) you get to 
hang out around your ride... keep your lunch, camera, etc. right there on 
the spot instead of waaaay out in some dusty parking lot; 3) people will 
come up & talk to you about how great T3s are; 4) you're helping to 
establish a T3 presence and you're spreading your T3 enthusiasm.

	...and if the show sponsors charge an arm & a leg for entering, 
you can sometimes just go & park on the show grounds & not pay to compete 
in the judged event.

	This has made VW shows twice as fun for me.  I can't recommend it 
enough!  And trust me--my squareback is *no* looker...
