Show Report: VAG at the manor

[Steve Q]

Sunday 1st July saw the return of the VAG at the manor show, held at the wonderful Dinton Pastures Country Park in Hurst, Reading. It was a sweltering hot day but ideal for a car show and as such there was a great turn out of VAG clubs from across the country including our own club where we had 5 cars on display. Cars ranged from classic beetles, new cars and even a modified Austin Allegro running aircooled power. The show was well organised as besides the club displays there were the usual trade stalls, bouncy castles for the kids, show n' shine,  and food outlets but a keen favorite was clearly the ice cream van! Throughout the day the VAG at the manor DJs kept the air full of tunes which was further supported with various cracking sound systems from some of the cars on display. Show attendees also had access to the country park which boasts its own cafe and outdoor activities such as canoeing and other water sports if they had the need to cool off. 

Overall VAG at the manor was an enjoyable show and I want to say a big thank you for those members who attended and displayed their cars with the club. I'm sure VAG at the manor is a show that we will be attending next year. Also want to say thank you to Stuart for some of the photos.

Cheers

Looks great, might have to get myself down there next year with the R8! Would also be a nice treat to meet some fellow members from the forum. Were there many there this year? 

Always nice to see a VW Harlequin :') one of the funniest cars ever produced.
