VW VS VESPA a good showing for a rainy day.


Well when I woke up in the morning the clouds were ominous in every direction but no rain was falling. I was hoping in my heart that it would stay that way. I was setting up all morning and around 10:45 the rain started. It poured down in sheets. I was standing in the rain in my patch jacket and cowboy hat looking down the street for any sign that someone would come. Five min to 11 I saw the first VW it was a ceiling wax red 1957 oval window bug! I was so happy to see it. for the next hour we had no one else show. I was disheartened. The rain kept coming and the shammy's kept wiping. around noon more people showed. a few more bugs then a 1964 21 window deluxe along with Daves single cab. Cameron Pyne showed up with his Vespa P-200E and his bay window bus. I was glad to see him. all and all about 20 entrys bettween the VW and Vespas. there were more VWs so this time VWs win. I am not sure I will be putting another show together next year but for all the rain I was happy so many came out. Many people came without there vehicles due to them being in various states of repair. thanks to all who came and even to those who thought about helping me out and couldn't come. I am very grateful. Thanks to RC WILLEYand Larry Smally at RC Willey for backing this event so much. Thanks also to Ken Garff VW, Vespa Utah, The Scooter Lounge, Wasatch Vintage Volkswagen Club, and all my other gracious sponsors that hung posters and told people to come!!! I will always remember this as a great day.
