So there were water cooled VWs at the show too. There was no way I was going to take pictures of all of them so I delegated this to my 15 year old kid. These next shots are his choices for what appealed to him...
A clean looking Mk 2 GTI.
A Fahrenheit edition Mk 5.
A Mk 2 Sirocco.
A Mk 4 Golf.
This Mk 2 Golf is amazing. Has a VR5 swap with a ginormous turbo on the side. Owner built it himself and states it has close to 400 hp! Very nicely put together car that was done in what is called OEM+.
Now back to some more. Byron arrived a bit later in his '70 Westy. Nice it is, but I forgot to take a picture of the inside.
Another one of those Porsche things showed up, this time a nice orange Targa models. Hard to believe these were once considered second-rate Porsches to the "regular" 911s.
Missed a picture of this split on the way in.
Always liked this colour combo on this split.
Now for the parking lot cruise through. An old green panel was the first spotted.
This late Beetle was nicer then many in the show itself.
An old camper used as nature intended. Weird wheels.
This shiny late Ghia was for sale. Not many Ghias at the show this year.
This old bus has distinctive headlight rings and I have seen it around for years.
One for HighTopRob. A Syncro as well.
And last and least, a flat black Super with interesting green accents.
Anyway that is it with pictures for the 2016 Victoria Volksfest. Every air-cooled car was photographed, and if I somehow missed yours, then sorry about that. If this show keeps growing, then next year I may just have to take highlight pictures. Oh and to the organizers.... Buy more hotdogs!!!
