New to the market last year was Aircooled Accessories, a UK based company specialising in rare, unusual and desirable parts and accessories for VWs, and although the company itself is relatively new, the founder has had an array of VWs for many years, including bugs, buses, type 3’s and ghia’s.

Having been aware of the business since last year, AAC has expanded to produce an ample selection of desirable accessories, with everything from gravel guards to exhaust trims, and with the promise of new products to come, we’re certainly looking forward to seeing what’s next for AAC.  Another thing worth a mention is the vintage collection that’s fairly new to the website, with various one-offs and retro pieces – we’re particularly fond of the vintage skis at the moment!  From a VW owner’s perspective, it’s great to see a company so focussed on bringing the discerning VW driver the chance to accessorise or over-accessorise their ride, especially with such genuinely rare and unusual pieces. Of course, some of the prices reflect the rarity of the products, but we were happy to see such a price-conscious retailer, with all items having competitive price tags. Our favourite item? The bonnet emblems – a particularly unusual piece – and a real steal at only £74.99 for the polished aluminium finish, or £59.99 for a patina-look version. Get ‘em while they’re hot…

KEEPING THE LITTLE ONES AMUSED AT VW ACTION

VW Action is very much a ‘Family’ show and shouldn’t be confused with or judged by any other event.

We’ve got kids. We know what it’s like.

So just for you we have FREE activities for children in VW Action’s ‘Children’s VWorld’.

This is NOT a creche – YOU are responsible for your children but . . .

We have laid on a colouring competition . . . A video show . . . and some other stuff!!

As an extra treat, for all the kids who loved the Summer Party, we have a small beach too. (OK, it’s a sandpit.)

A Facepainter will be on hand to provide FREE facepainting for all children, and everyone painted on Sunday will be eligible to enter the ‘Favourite Face’ competition, judged in the main marquee during prizegiving at 3.00pm on Saturday.

Just find the Children’s VWorld area (near the Information Centre, check programme map for details) and set them to play. Please check programme for times of Facepainter etc. and don’t forget to check out The Poi Circus.

Oh . . . and perhaps the younger visitors are the most likely to be ‘confused’ by the appearance of Santa in September, but he will be coming to hand out the prizes in the ‘Favourite Face’ competition on Saturday. (Only if they are all extremely well behaved, of course.)

POI CIRCUS WORKSHOP
Three shows on Saturday, two shows on Sunday – Poi Circus. At other periods during the day, circus skills training is available for anyone who wants to learn. You’d be a clown not to join in.

Courtesy of VW Action, The Poi Circus Workshop will be on site for two full days Poi Circus skills training for everyone . . . have a go!

Workshops are for complete beginners, so you won’t be embarrassed. It’s all part of the fun.

FUN FAIR
The Fun Fair is NOT free. Prices for different rides vary. Fun for kids of ALL ages.

KIDS SHOW & SHINE
In 2008 we introduced two new elements for children attending the show, the Kids Show & Shine, and the Bike Show & Shine. (Strictly speaking, the bike event is not restricted to just children, but there are separate awards for under 17s) FREE to enter.

SOME KINDS WORDS A PARENT WROTE ABOUT LAST YEAR’S SHOW
“Thank you. As a mum of four it was great to have ‘free’ stuff for the kids to do, it made a huge difference actually being able to say ‘yes you can have your face painted’ and ‘yes you can go on the bouncy castle’ . The whole event was superb.”

VAGFEST
Sunday 11th July
Santa Pod Raceway,
Wellingborough,
Northants.
NN29 7XA
01279 72 52 52
www.vagfest.co.uk

Introducing yet another NEW SHOW! Well not really… a show with a 20 year pedigree, but radically different. VAGfest, Santa Pod, July 11th 2010 – is everything that the old GTI Festival was, and more. It is a one day show for air and water cooled VW’s, Audis, Seats, Skodas… and it is the only show where all marques get equal billing.

All owners of Volkswagen Group vehicles are welcome. The organisers are re really keen to see as many clubs as possible represented, and are also hosting for the first time at any VW show anywhere, the ’show within a show’, Girlz N Dubz. All female owners can get to show off their pride and joy in the ‘Girlz N Dubz’ competition and display. Girlz N Dubz will definitely become the coolest event in the UK for female owners… The girlz will be interviewed about their cars, their interests, and there are a number of trophies up for grabs, for their performance in the show arena as well as on the track. All will have an equal chance against the guys in the regular Show & Shine too.

All clubs are invited to display during the day, and the ‘Best Club Display’ at VAGfest carries a £100 charitable donation, to a charity chosen by the winning club. The Show & Shine has a massive number of awards including Best Audi, Best Skoda, Best SEAT, and Best VW, Best Engineering, Best Paint, Best Engine, Best Van and many more. There are also ‘top twenty’ trophies covering all the marques. Awards on the track include quickest VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda, as well as a number of awards based on engine sizes for all VAG vehicles.

The organisers are also really keen to see as many transporters, campers etc, including late models, because we really want this show to evolve to include every Volkswagen Group vehicle, past, present and future. Lamborghini, Bentley and Bugatti are therefore more than welcome too, although owners should be aware that there are several regulars at these shows who are best avoided on the racetrack unless you want to look a bit silly.

As well as the ‘Dizzy Rascals’ autotest course, there will be a couple of demonstration vehicles, a 5 second Fuel Funny Car, and the equally impressive – regular crowdpleaser – The Fireforce Jet Car.

July 11th – Santa Pod – Just £15 for a day of Girlz, Dubz, Clubs, Traders, Sprints, AutoJumble – and everything else ‘VAG’.

Details: www.vagfest.co.uk
