Is it ironic that the event known as VAG Fair ended prematurely? Having said that, we had a great day. Before the rains came and left us ducking under our tent in ankle deep puddles – there was a ton of quality cars and good people. Good news is it held off for most of the day, and we got to enjoy the show as well as stunt our fresh look booth to the VAG Fair faithful.

Prior to the rain, it was one of the biggest VW shows of the year, as usual. Cory & the gang have done a great job with this event, growing it into one of the most anticipated events of summer. We’ve been to events at the York Fairgrounds before, but none quite like this one – filling the whole track area with cars and people.

Some proper fitted VW’s and Audi’s turned out – hence the VAG – but there was also some non-VAG cars in attendance sporting the pokes and the stretches and all that stuff they talk about on the internets.

Vag Fair was a good time – but how could it not be? Its the fitting warm-up to H2O International next month.

Check out some photos that we snapped early in the day:

We’ve known Donnie Hanna for quite some time. He had a Helios 16V GLI when he was fifteen years old. Now, many years later, he’s a daddy – but that hasn’t changed his love for cars and specifically vw’s. Yeah, he drove an Eclipse for some time somewhere in the middle, but we won’t hold that against him.

We planned a photoshoot for what we thought was going to be a convenient, easy time – a couple hours before a night time car show that we all planned on attending together. But lemme tell you, we are rookies at this photography thing. Apparently the middle of the afternoon, the hottest point of the day, isn’t the best time to be outside shooting photos. We’ve learned some great survival tips on various tv shows though so we knew we could handle it. No, we didn’t pee on our shirts and tie them around our heads, we just took the photos as quickly as possible and got back inside his air-conditioned Mk4 Jetta 1.8T.

The thing we like about this car is – well it’s done to his tastes. Yeah RS’s and Rotiform BLQ’s are cool wheels, but we don’t have to see them on every VW at the shows do we? Anyway, Donnie recently hooked up with our pals at AirLift Company and installed a full air suspension set-up on the car… so we figured it was a perfect excuse for a photoshoot.

Enjoy!
