LIMERICK VW SHOW 2014 , Sunday May 25th
- Thread starter airnwater
- Start date
Is it me or has the number of modified/lowered/custom air-cooled vw's dropped off in recent years compared to say 3/4 years ago?
Ive noticed that aswell, Are they being sold and then restored to original standard? or just being parked?
Agreed,which is an awful pity.Don't get me wrong,I appreciate a stocker but ,dare I say it, I find them a little boring.I don't mean to offend anyone by that statement but I just prefer to see a car that has a bit of imagination put into it.Bring back the lairy 90s I say(without the buckets of filler&fibreglass.)
A few years ago there was a row of Ovals, all modified. Fendered57 is gone, Beag/Knk's is gone, Liams Split panel is gone, I didn't go down this year but it was the same last year. John Healy probably didn't bring his 67 coz of the rain but still there's seems to be more clean stock stuff these days. I'm not sure about the current venue, it's cool but a bit hilly. 'Stanced' cars dont sit right on hills. The old venue did work well with all the cars in rows. Still a brilliant show, pity I had to miss it.
You know, I've just been thinking that I'd love to see a show in a scenic location. I'm tired of all this fields and car parks stuff. Fota House would be great IMHO, like a mini Stanford Hall....
As long as people arent raping your ass for parts stanford hall swapmeet style, and there isnt some cockend waving part numbers in your face, then yeah, sounds like a good idea, Trusthouse Forte' ?
OH ...... I Was Going To Bring The Ruby On Sunday ........ But I'm A Bit Of "Fair Weather Traveller"
Lovely car - slotmags are nice - smartcar fronts?top marks! You're the only one to notice that! I was scouring scrap yards on Friday looking for an oil cooler to hang from the front with two big oil hoses poking out through one of the dummy lamps in the grille. Do you think I could find one?
the rear wheels are Wolfrace Slotmags. 8Jx15 ET -20ish 4x100. I had a pair of G60s re-rimmed for the rear but couldn't get the narrower tyres in time for Sunday to get them under the arches. Despite the 4.56 degrees of camber on the rear the Slots with stretched tyres were the only ones I could actually use. They worked well though
You just need to do up yer exhaust like this & it'll be perfect. You have plenty of time to get it done for Fermoy...
