2 of my favorite shots from the cruise, that I've seen, thanks Chris & Nicole!





Overall it was a good summer, got to go to 2 medium sized shows & 1 big one, looking forward to next year having the cabrio ready for some action

We are for sure going to sowo next year, would be killer to have a midwest group down there

Any volunteers to put together a fall cruise/gtg? within the next couple of months would be ideal

looking to reserve a cabin now for SOWO.

I can not miss it next year.

Congrats to all of the Central Il folks who won awards this year, remember to stack parts over the winter and come back even stronger for 2013.

BACK! Hey guys, It's been about a year since I sold my mk4 but I'm back with an eos now -_- worthwhile upgrade in my opinion.

[KO-R32]

You going to run that Golf over here, so I can look at the paint on that hood?

Got the hood back into shape - Clay/Polish/Wax =

It just required some time & effort, who'd of thought

[Chalm]

Good deal....what ended up being the pad and polish combo of choice?

Hello, Central Illinois. I've got something going on for VW/Audi in St.Louis in a couple of weeks.

I've put together a show-and-shine cruise on Saturday, the 22nd for all VW/Audi. Go to Facebook and look up Midwest Blitzkreig event. All the details are there.

Then I've arranged a VW/Audi headsup dragracing class in the Import Faceoff event at Gateway Motorsports Park on the 23rd. Aside from the drgaracing, there are a bunch of show classes for your static entertainment.

http://www.importfaceoff.net/st_louis.htm

I'm going to try to leach on to the IFO event each year with a weekend of VW/Audi stuff so keep this in mind for the future.

Oh Mr. Corbitt......i thought by now you would have given up on your dreams of going fast
It's good to see your still alive. Tommy was talking about you a few weeks ago but i can't remember why. Anyways it's nice to see you guys are putting something on and i hope to make it down to help push your "drag car" down the strip

Thinking about it. Have to Get something in the near future. Hard to make any decision. Had to dig up the yard for the sewer so probably better to wait till after Christmas. I can get an ls1 gto for around the same $ :/ on the other hand i could footy my dog or music equipment in the back hatch of a gti and Heather like it more.

Hello all. I'm located in Springfield and have owned many VAG cars in the past. I have been on the vortex since 2001 or so but have been absent for the past 4-5 years due to owning a Chevy Impala SS. Yeah I know. I'm in the process of selling it and getting back into a vw. I was very active in the STLVW club if they are still around.

Cars of my past.

02 VW GTI 1.8t
91 VW GTI 8v
91 VW GTI VR6 swap.
01 Audi A4 1.8tqm
98 VW Jetta VR6

All cars were modded and very much fun to own. I will try to post pics later tonight when I get to my computer

I'm looking for a GLI 2.0t dsg to replace my Impala if you know of any nice ones FS.

Hope to meet all of you at some point.

[Chalm]

Welcome aboard.
