It was an excellent idea for a few reasons.
A cork meet, always welcome.
Could have been great publicity for blackwater motors, illustrating the vw heritage for the new beetle.
Mrs vdubber was very impressed with the concept when i told her, and she's josephine public.

There were a number of problems;
1). Little or no advertising/marketing. I couldn't find any reference to the event* on Blackwater Motors' Facebook or Twitter accounts.
2). No new beetle. In fact the aircooled beetles outnumbered the recent water-cooled jobs by 4:1. ..and there were only 4 aircooled beetles there, and the water-cooled was probably just in for a service.
C). I was bored within 15 minutes.
* I'm not sure it even was an event, it may be the case that Backwater motors have a BBQ and jazz band on every Saturday, but nobody has ever been there to see them...

Wasn't your fault. The weather was great and there were free burgers and hot-dogs so can't really complain.
Stop selling cars and focus on selling burgers and hot dogs instead would be my advice; they were YUMMY!
Johan just took off in a Scirroco. No New beetle here...
How much did they allow you on a trade-in on that auld Split Beetle of yours?
