I'll be working at it but even if I wasn't I'd still try and go. I'd like to go in Burty but I don't know yet. There is a convoy leaving the Volksworld office as usual which would be a bit of craic but it also depends on whether I do the show in Hessisch too.

I want to go this year as it only happens every 2, but Spa is on again, I preferred Spa for some reason, an rumour has it Spa's days are numbered. Ideally I'd go to both, make one a weekender an the other a 10day tour. As usual I'll probably the only Irish person there! Nothing compares to these 2 shows, not even Stateside. Spa offers more madness than EBI but for sheer volume of concours VWs, EBI won't be touched!

Volksworld ptffff - if you really what to get close to the cars go to Europe!

I've heard that one before Wayne - I'll believe you, when I see you LOL.
Actually I'd rather you didn't come so I can use your VIP parking sticker to get me in the good camping area again! Hah

I must actually post up some of the 1000 ish pics that I took on the road trip to Spa in August. Still haven't posted then. It might provide a stimulus for others to come along.

Would be quicker and cheaper to go from Cherbourg, but the craic would be great driving with a convoy from the Volksworld office - would love to do it.

If your going to Hessisch you might as well take a trip to Wolfsburg.

EDIT: Just checked I'm wrong, cheaper to go Holyhead/Euro-tunnel to Calais.

I agree with everything tsar has said here, Spa is probably without question THE best vw show in europe up there with the craziest shows on the planet it is immense so good i did 8 years on the trot, EBI for me is just alright, if your into nostalgia and cock waving, then EBI will be for you, i flew and hitched a lift last time round, and the very 1st one i drove the bug out there, personally i wouldnt do 2 boat trips to get out to EBI, ive done it twice thats enough for me, Spa on the other hand, get it while its there, you will not regret it!!!!!!
