I don't own a trophiable car. Rather, for me, it's... o getting a little goody bag of VW stuff (usually) with entry o having a "home base" on the show grounds where I can keep food, sunscreen, etc., and store swap meet scores... without having to get my hand stamped, trek out to a parking lot, etc. o having a place to meet people -- "let's meet at my car -- you can find it, as it's in the Type III section, white '69 Square, with my name on it, see you at noon" o a place to chill out in the shade (esp. if I've brought my bus), keep a folding chair, etc. o a place to store books, odd parts, whatever that I've brought to show/discuss with other folks o a way to meet people... "hey, I've got a '69 AT too -- can I see how your whatzit is hooked up??" or, "say, I've got some parts for your car -- you want them for free?" o a good reference if you're buying swap parts -- "let me go see if it looks like this'll fit my car before I make you an offer" Really, "entering" vs. not entering helps turn a VW show from a spectator sport into something fun to *do*. Also... would you rather see 4 creampuff Type IIIs (not that there's anything wrong with that</seinfeld>) or 10 Type IIIs, four of which were creampuffs, a couple of which were nice daily drivers, and the rest projects? I'll take the latter. I don't think you pre-reg @ Kelley Park, btw -- just show up. :) -Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
