How was SOWO fellow 2.5's?

[Rabbidrabbitt]

I was not able to make it this year. Heard this year was a blast. So I need some help getting out of my depressed state. Send some good vibes and pics from SOWO my way. I really wanted to unleash the gates of hell in those mountains, there is always next year. sage III+ or Highcomp build and e85 tune ?? not much time left 364 Days to go what will next year have in store for this platform?

i had a blast for my first time. its a relaxed vibe paired with some nice scenery made it my favorite show so far. i did multiple runs going up and down the mountains of helen. the area has some of the best roads with nice windy turns including a few hairpins and various altitude allowed me to push my tuned 2.5! i only took like 8 pics lol. but i did mostly video. ill try to post in here when im done.

Nice glad your first show was a blast

[eatrach]

[thygreyt]

im 90% gone from the forums... still i have to post here.

a more in deph "review" or write up will be up later on my thread.

but it was a GREAT pleasure meeting so many other 2.5L owners! i had a BLAST on the mountains... they are ADDICTING!
the event itself was a lot of fun.
it was AWESOME to finally put faces and voices to otherwise usernames or facebook.

this was my 2nd sowo, and not the last one either. it really was incredible.

it was a shame that there were so little 2.5s there...

[pete@blackforest]

My 2.5T was there..
Met nickbeezy and GTACanuck. Good guys.
Next time I'll get out of the booth and mingle.

Had an amazing time at SoWo, great meeting Pete, Fred, Danny @ C2 and nickbeezy.

I do have to say that the 16 hour drive there was completely worth it and will be back next year!

[Ferd Burfel]

I didn't take many pictures, but I had a BLAST!

And Greyt, I really enjoyed your car. It was good to put faces to names as well. I met a few guys there and they were all awesome.

But not a lot of 2.5s at all. The big jacked up 4x4 Rabbit was sweet, so was Greyt's car.

I also swung by the Black Forest booth to grab my insert, so I briefly met Pete. Hopefully next year we can have a little more organization and planning and actually have some 2.5s and have them parked with each other in the field.

[thygreyt]

same! it was nice to meet you!

and thanks... i do put a LOT of work into the car.

To me, going to car shows isn't about the cars.... Sure, I was in the Wheel Whores/More Than More booth but I didn't once look over there to see if anyone was taking pics of my car or what they thought...

Car shows to me are all about the people and the community. I'm so glad to have met so many of you and see faces both old and new. Leaving Helen this year was the hardest thing I've had to do in the 5 years I've been.

Till next year, fellas

Dude, i kid you not, I didnt leave the booth for 12 straight hours.... it was ridiculous. I peeped it once as I was talking to a kid from 15 feet away and it looked good but I didnt even get to go see it up close.

Show was INSANE.

[alwaysdutch]

I was so ready for this, but then family circumstances stopped it all. Shooting for next year.....

[mldouthi]

I had a great time as well.

I only met a couple of the guys from on here though. Its hard trying to put a face to a vortex name. haha.

Why thank you,


Thats weird you didnt see me a the MKV met, I was by my car the entire time other than when I walked over to see fred's (thygreyt) car.

Thats what is so hard about meeting people from online at events. We all need big signs over our heads with our vortex name on it.

[Rabbidrabbitt]

I am going to make it this next show I am sooooo pissed I missed this year. Love the mix the 2.5 crowd brought to the show, I wish I was there to put faces with cars. I agree with Danny that the shows are about the people, Volkswagens are what bring us together as a community. What is a garage full of cars if you can't show them off to your community

[Fudgey Memory]

Great meeting Danny from C2. Great time with great folks. Sorry I missed the little GTG. As soon a got there, I was pulled in several different directions, willingly, and it never slowed down.

Can't wait until next year. Wish they'd do it in the fall though. Hot!
