For most the E38 partying ends on the Sunday.....

1000's of hopefuls wait patently, hungover and £5 worse off, for the S&S prize giving to take place on the stage at Edition 38. All but a few go away disappointed but wait there is still hope...... the Raffle "lets hang about for that then we will shoot try and miss the traffic" everyone wanting to get home to their own little part of the world. Then an almighty rush for the gate, its quite funny to watch cars jumping from one side of the show ground to another, cutting each other up, the regulars choosing the tried and tested route back up the one way system.

Living some 350 miles from the VW mecca of Northampton us Scottish chaps usually book the Monday off work and attempt the Camel trek back to the mother land the following day. Some of our Dutch cousins at VW-Speed thought the same thing this year, and staying in the same hotel it made for a bit of a messy evening indeed.


They call it Sumertime

Pileups FTW

Point to note, like any true Scotsman in the face of adversity you never drop your drink.......



Welkom



Big shout going out to our new found friends...........for their full E38 2009 photos visit the VW-Speed website

X5PEA takes his act to the stage

Most of you will know Chris from his Blue MK1 Golf (Project 504) and more recently his Green MK5 Golf (Project Chicken Wire). After turning up a little late, he hit Edition 38 with the latest creation and his third Show Car in just 12 months, Project Rockafella a 2009 VW Scirocco. Simon Sweetland interviewed Chris to get an insight to the Man behind the cars, TUK Customs and the latest venture Bagyard Air Ride.

Dubbers Cool Wall Blog

This was an idea that came up a while back, basically we needed something to fill a big, painted white wall.

All you have to do is post a pic on the Cool Wall Contenders Thread on Edition38, every week we will choose a new car from the contenders and you guys vote on the Cool Wall Blog.....simples!

Once the voting is complete the car is added to the appropriate section on the cool wall jobs a good un.
