I think Matt would like to be there too

From the Nurburgring it is only one hour driving to Bitburg. Maybe we should consider the idea of combining the Nurburgring Nordschleife with for instance DasDragDay @ Bitburg with a couple of guys. Friday, on our way to Bitburg, some runs at the Nordschleife and saturday and sunday at the dragrace track in Bitburg. That would be one hell of a weekend!

Thats not a bad idea at all!
Not sure if it would be possible for me this year already, but the combined action could make it more viable for those that come from abroad and/or need to travel further to get there

That's a great idea! I'd be up for that. Combining the Nordschleife, with a show, and possibly the new Porsche museum that will be completed soon.

What are the big VW shows in Europe?
Do you have any dates?

We can get a "feeler" going to see who's interested.

That's a great idea, Pete. Let's get some '09 dates for EU shows down and start the ball rolling on this. Once we have a good idea on dates we can also hit some other forums, really try and make it an aircooled invasion

Also, don't forget Project 2009 at the 'ring , which includes the worlds fastest accelerating roller coaster YEAH
There is also Autostadt http://www.autostadt.de which is just near Wolfsburg, on the way to Berlin (coolest city in the world, imho), I haven't had the chance to get there personally, but heard it's a Must See for VW and car fans alike.

September 20th and 21st 2008 is the first time we can combine DasDragDay (Bitburg) and the Nordschleife: http://www.autobahn.be/

More dates of shows in Europe can be found at http://www.vwshows.info/shows.php?year=2008

If you want to see a lot of GermanStyle vw's, you can also combine the VWBugshow (Brustem, Belgium) with the Nordschleife (and probably Spa-Francorchamps) or Mai-Käfer-Treffen (Hannover, Germany) with Autostadt and Berlin. The European Bug-In is another big show, but mostly cal-look orientated.
