hy on earth would
you want to drag
yourself out of bed on a
cold and dreary Sunday
morning? Not my words, but my
girlfriend’s and the answer being - it’s
Dubfreeze, the fi rst VW show of the year.
To be honest there aren’t many other
reasons I can think to drive to a big ol’
hall in Staffordshire, but this is one.
Arguably quieter on the visitor front - I
can remember the venue being packed
out and it being almost impossible to
get to the trade stands - there was still
more than enough to look at and buy.
Including plenty of cars for sale outside.
I even spotted my old Ruby Red Ragtop
looking in need of some TLC and it sold
on the day. Fingers crossed it will be
restored to its former glory.
Fingers also crossed that more air-
cooled VWs make it into the show ’n’
shine next year as that would make
a cool show even cooler.
