I never realised that these BMX's had such a following.

I went to a VW show on the weekend and there was a BMX Show and Shine competition and I thought of you guys and took some pics







Also had some old scooters as well which you can just about see in this pic



Very different kind of show to what the Ford fans put on

It was pretty cool, there where live bands, raffles, BMX and scooter show and shine, there a display of a race team building a car up from scratch, VW bought a load of heritage vehicles like a 1938 Beetle and old prototype Porsches oh and the original Herbie from the Love Bug film, half the people camp and there is loads on in the evenings. Seemed very chilled out with an older crowd. The only thing it's doesn't have is track action.

I was there for the splitscreen's and saw load's

I went to vw action years ago when the fuel protest was going on must have been 10 years ago i think , it was great ! the people lived the life , dressed in 60's clothes , the disco at night was the car wash great show sadly i never got to another one but will need to look out for one , trouble is they are so far away from glasgow
