Once again the audiownersclub.com attended the VAG Tuner Live show at Donington Park race circuit which was held on one of the hottest days of the year on Sunday 1st July. Some of us met bright and early at 7am at Donington Park services before making our way to the race circuit for 8am to set up our display. Clubs from around the country were in attendance, covering all makes from the VAG group and surprisingly even a Mercedes club was in attendance which certainly wasn't expected! Compared to last year we had a great turnout of cars and had seven cars on display including a C5 A6, D3 A8 W12 taxi, a5, S5, A5 convertible and A3 saloon and we were set up next to Audi Owners UK who were a friendly bunch and lead by their area coordinator Ash. we even helped them put down their gazebo at the end of the day. Besides the fantastic club displays there was a great selection of trade stands and the option of free rides in test cars from the various traders to see their products in action. This was also combined with track time which was great to watch and did have a couple of cars breaking down or going off. Furthermore there's anything was a great selection of food outlets and just like VAG at the manor, the icecream van was a firm favorite! Kids weren't left out either and free dodgems were available and proved popular with both kids and parents. If you needed a break from the show or just to get out of the sun you had the option to pay to look around the museum and the fantastic collection of F1 racing cars and military vehicles including various WW2 Volkswagens. Overall VAG tuner Live was once again a fantastic show which is well worth attending and one I strongly recommend for members to attend next year. I know I'll certainly be there, will you? just want to say thanks to all our members who helped support the club display and your attendance was greatly appreciated 🙂

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 Steve
