[T3] VolksJam in Coombs, BC

["Nico teWinkel" <ntewinkel@yahoo.com>]

Hi All,

Thanks to Andre for alerting us of the VolksJam event that took place on
Sunday!

VolksJam takes place annually now, in Coombs, British Columbia - which is
probably not on the map, but look on a map at Vancouver Island (above
Seattle)... it's close to Parksville, midway up the island.

We drove the Fastback down from Comox, the longest trip we've taken it on so
far. That was about an hour there and an hour back. It purred along nicely
at highway speeds, although we didn't take it up to the 110 kmph (67 mph?)
speed limit... it was kinda windy and I felt like a windsurfer out there.

We were the only Type III entered, and the only Fastback there. There was
also an orange Notch and a red squareback (but not entered)... and many many
bugs and busses :)  I should've counted, but I think there were between 20
and 30 aircoolies out there. We didn't win any prizes, but had a ton of fun,
and many people were interested in seeing the different aircooled car out
there.

Afterwards, we all drove to the beach... really cool :)

Cheers,
-Nico
