"E38 has nothing to do with the judging at VW Fest" :afro:

Have done a club stand a few times at this show in the past :)

They did this year - well a few of the ED38 crew helped out. one of them has mailed me private over on their forum asking if im taking mine to ED38 because they want to look round it  :smiley:

Would you consider doing a club stand again.. id be happy to help out if you needed it ?

That's a quote from one of the judges. http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=400411&st=0

Doesn't sound like you want E38 judges to look at your car, so why take it there? :tongue:

Just takes people to get on and organise things. Too many shows these days to be able to get to them all :)

i dont mind who looks at my car - its mint. and after a good look round all the cars in the show mine is most certainly up their in terms of how its built and how clean it is
 

i just dont like false judging and cars getting awards just because they are friends or well known on ed38 etc. its not what its about for me, Some of the cars wereTERRIBLE!! rust, paint runs overspray, dirty wheels and interiors and scrapes down the paint LOL :shocked:

alot of people complaining but i think the organisers now know it needs to change next year

As i say, id be happy to help out at harewood if you did and im sure others would be too. its cool if not ill ask the guys on CGTI if you dont wanna but i think the forum should be in attendance


P.S - That Avrill was the one who messaged me saying they want to have a close look round my car at ED38

Which show did someone win purely because they are friends with someone from e38?

It's no bother attending an event as a forum, just get the people together in advance, it happens often enough for other shows. Personally, I did Harewood 3 years in a row so gave it a rest for a bit.

That's what they do at the e38 show, give each car a good going over! Have you not been there before?  :shocked:

thing is they were not giving each car the once over, some people didnt even get spoken to about their car   :grin:

Anyhow, i only wanted to enter so i could show off the car and the hard work iv put in, i didnt have a club stand pass so the show and shine was my only option really. Im not arsed about winning trophys because i didnt build the car for that. i wish i had just put it in the for sale section then it would have been on site :laugh:

I'm sure there'd be plenty of other interest in it! I say we do it :cool:

It'd also give me a realistic deadline for getting the Mk4 looking good :grin:
