Default VW Festival 2009

Anyone going this year?

I went in 2007 and it was quite literally a complete washout due to the rain and boggy conditions. But it would have otherwise been a good day out with plenty of Audis in attendance and even the odd Porsche.

Details here : http://www.vwfestival.co.uk/

Mods - please move to General Banter if it's not appropriate here.

Where's the two-fingered smiley when you need it?

Realised this afternoon that it conflicts with Deutsche A8 Freunde meet, so might miss this. But will know better over next couple of days. Trip to the Treffen could cost a few hundred quid in fuel alone!!
