Car Show Snobbery
Planning on attending my first ever VW show at Elsecar on Sunday and with the weather reports looking good for next weekend it makes sense to take the cabby for a run. The thing is I've never been to one of these before and my car is nowhere near show standard so I'm not sure what sort of reaction I'll get!! Is there a level of snobbery at these events and will I be laughed at for turning up in a car which is not what you'd call A1 standard?
I'm sure I'm thinking about it too much and the VW community are just pleased to see another cabby on the road, and there will be, or have been cars turn up in far worse condition than mine.
What you think?

As for condition, anything goes I think! I rocked up in my cabby with the spacesaver on the front and a missing fuel cap ( <—– see pic on the left). Was all received on good jest.
Have fun!

its always a good idea this time of year to have a look in the national and regional meets section of the site you could be surprised at what could be happening near you

This topic was really interesting - I am so proud of my car I want to go everywhere in it, ok it's currently wearing bright pink seat covers while I wait for the upholsterer to fix a rip, one of my dogs comes in it, I love it and I'd love to tell everyone about it at a show but am too scared unless it's organised by the MK1 guys!!
You coming to Elsecar at the weekend?

I've been to hundreds of car shows over the years but I'm a VW show virgin so looking forward to it.
