  • 2008 Show Season

    Well I know this is very early, but after the disappointing 2007 season I would like to look at making a much bigger effort in 2008.

    The longest show and one of the biggest for exposure is the World of Wheels, primarily a muscle car show but it has tens of thousands of people coming through which really brings a lot of interest. Last year was the first year in several that we have not attended and I do not want a repeat of that for 2008. We have a lot of great cars and some huge variety now with lots of TTs, Kris' Cayman, Simon's Saab, many dubs new and old and even a funny looking Smart. There should be no way we cannot get 6 cars together to make a good show this year and I really want that to happen.

    The show will be from February 22-24th 2008 so I want people to start thinking about it, apps need to be in early and I am going to be away for 3 weeks over Xmas this year so I would like to be in a good spot before I go.

    There is also thoughts of taking the Alberta wide meet and shifting it to a proper show in the Red Deer locale, with the help of Das Auto Haus coming on board as a title sponsor for a province wide Euro show!

    Anyway just want to get the thoughts and ideas flowing to make 2008 the bigger and better year for Eurodrivers.

    Thanks

      We should try to get 1 car from each european manufacturer?

      Like maybe

      1bmw
      1porsche
      1merc
      1audi
      1vw
      1smart

      Something like that... then we could put up flags or something next to each car, kind of show off the whole European theme of the club.

        I think this is a good idea.

          If I can get my M-Coupe setup the way I want before then, I would be down. It'll be slightly lowered with some dished rims - nothing spectacular, but it would be an interesting car.

          I know I missed all the shows over the past year but I think it would be interesting to have a plasma setup with scrolling clips/pics of the club, and all the clubs cars. That would give an opportunity for those who don't physically have their cars at the show, to get some run.

            This sounds like a fun idea. I got my Jetta or my Dads A4. But neither are car show quality. They are pretty plain so far

                        the "one of each" idea would be pretty cool since there woulc be a limited amount of space and if there were to be lets say 4 mk4 volkswagens, we could vote in a thread on who is going and who is not and so on with other brands an models etc....that would be pretty interesting

                          Yes the one of each make would work very well and highlight our Euro status.

                          The Renault can get in if it's ready as we don't seem to have to many Merc's floating around. We can see who is seriously interested and then pick the best among them.
