And so it begins once again! The official event isn't until 4th - 7th May but things are already starting to get underway. I'll be posting anything relevently retro that I find up until we leave ourselves, a week on Friday. Der See ruft, as they say   |

Busy at Mischkulnig, the most "scene" petrol station in Europe.  ...and 20-25 minutes away over at the Sabotnik Tankstelle:  |

Do most of these people leave before the actual official show?

Do most of these people leave before the actual official show? Yeah. For the past few years the main "scene" week has been the week before, then the "official" week is the party week. I suppose most people take two weeks off work and pick how they want to do it. Quiet week enjoying scenery with the girlfriend, then mad week with mental Golfs doing burnouts in the street. I'd love to go for a good six weeks, get the stuff before, during and after! If you want your car in the media and all over Instagram then you need to be there the week before. This year the event is going to be quite different to the past few. No corporate Audi/Seat/Skoda involvement, and a much reduced official VW input. The slogan is "back to the roots", and it's 40 years of the Mk1 GTI so they'll be pushing that heavily too. (Mine won't be there...!). A year of change, I reckon over the next few years it'll settle in to a different routine. Most of the cars there at the moment appear to be fairly local, or from Slovenia which isn't far away. The bulk of the pre-official-event'ers will be arriving next weekend I expect!   |

Good to know. It appeals to me as a euro roadtrip and a good way to see some sweet cars. Quiet and beautiful scenery are good selling points to pitch it to SWMBO.

I do luv a subtly modded early Manta B, the simple recipe of nice wheels and a tap with the lowering stick is all they need! |
