This was truly a great show. There were well over 100 cars and lots of vendors at the swap meet. I took lots of pics, so I will get them posted ASAP. I met some really great people there and had a fun time.

Thumbs up "vw-fest 2006"

Thanks to all that came out - NIVA had another successful show! There were some awesome cars in attendance. And the rain held off until after the show was over.

Gus, don't be bashful - we need to see pics of your swap meet find when you get them "installed."

Ellen, glad to meet you and your "mechanic" - we look forward to seeing "Chip" when he's feeling better.

(as always....) a great NIVA Anderson show!!!!

The new food vendor had awesome chi-town style dogs.... gotta love the nuclear green relish and celery salt!

I think I spent most of the show going back to drool over the SLAMMED primer gray hood ride bug. OMG was that beast SWEET.

Although no single or double cabs this year?! ..that made me a very sad little vdubber.

Wish I could have brought TheBattleBug... but there's always next year! (...as long as I don't kill TheBattleBug by then)

BUGSTUFF,

Ha-ha-ha!!!

After all the excitement of the score I got at the show, they ended up not fitting on my car!!! I had the car jacked up and the wheel off; as I attempted to insert the lug nuts, they didn't grab because the wheels are either a 5 x 112 or 114 bolt pattern!! AAARRRRGHHHHHH!!! The good part is that Rich from West Suburban Autoworld is either going to help me find replacement wheels or refund my money if nothing is found. I currently have them stored at Gurnee VW in the parts department. Thanks Brad and Jeff!!!

And yes Kirk, I said "jacked" and "nuts" in the same posting.
