See, that right there is a good example of why I don't do car shows. :wink:
Ya, but that washing and waxing is why David doesn't put this car on the track! :!: You must see it! I would judge it as pretty darned EXOTIC. :D

I'd love to attend but I am going to be doing one of two things:
1. Autoxing with NE-SVT.
2. Driving to the Jersey Shore.

Just think how nice the COM logo and URL will look on the Exotic web site!

Sorry, David, I wasn't saying anything personal, just that I don't have the patience for that. The closest I've come is once when I took the rear springs off my car, I wiped the brake dust off with a paper towel. :)

If what you say is true, I have some unhappy cars. But that's OK, I think that my cars are supposed to make me happy, not the other way around. I think it's great that there are people who get enjoyment out of washing and waxing their suspensions, and I would love to see your car! All I was saying was that I'm not one of them. :)

From what I remember of the GTi, I think it would be an SPC car, but possibly PC. I may be mistaken, but thought the carpeting was removed? In any event, it would be one of the fastest front drivers.

Lets see some pictures of this GTI, I don't think I'll make it to the show (and I love to see folks who are more crazy than I am when it comes to cleaning cars, it makes me feel less crazy).

photos ? i have the ones from the magazines the car was in . but that is pretty much it . i asked dave g to take photos but i live in ct and dave lives in vt. i do like his work and would still like him to do the photos !wink ! it was classed in DSP for auto-x and it would be in spc ? i'm just saying st4 becouse thats the class dave g runs in . but after i stopped racing it i did install the carpet , head lined and inner door panels . 11 years ago i did swap in a audi 80 2.0 L NA motor so would that put the car in PC ? vw and audi are the same co. so it didn't change the class it ran in with other clubs . NO NO paul cleaning our cars is a sickness . i just can't help it ! i have to armer all my steering rack boots .

I see you don't have me listed for the show, just as well. my wife just let me know that we will be camping the week of the 17th and not returning untill the 23rd. it's her only week off, and I have to keep her happy at least one week a year. I was looking forward to the show.

I apologize for the oversite George! I didn't go back far enough on the earlier thread. If your plans change, contact me, there is an opportunity for more COM members to bring their cars. I will set up an area for COM vehicles, but it will be separate from the main display, close, but a little set back. I will get COM literature and a banner with logo for the other area also. The more that attend, the better our image.

OK, time is getting becoming paramount, so here is the latest I have for the event on August 22.
If you have changed your plans, let me know ASAP so I can be sure we have the 6 cars for the main display.

That would be a good thing! Bimmers, VW, Mazda, Camaro and Mustang pretty nice. If Bruce wants to, I could squeeze in his Formula car, too. Anyone else? I will see if they can expand our area a bit.
BTW, who has the COM display? Last seen in Portland, would like it brought to the BOD meeting next Wednesday. I'll bring the truck.
