It was good to see everyone briefly down at the Market.  I had to get up to Nashville in the afternoon so couldn't enter the Ghia or stop for long, but I enjoyed my brief visit.

I've got a load of photos - who wants them?!

I'm not worried about it at all. :lol:

Wow !!!  Scott, You are almost as vocal as Herb . :lol:
       Did somebody say something to your Young'un ?

When all the trophies were handed out and I stood empty handed, I told my daughter that we didn't win a prize.  She said to me, "But Daddy, I thought you were a champion?"
I told her that I am a champion..."I am your champion." :inlove:

I sure hope that it wasn't a Volks Folk who vented to a child.  That's childish in itself.  [-X  
(It wasn't me, was it?)

In the words of the Grinch while competing in the sack race against children, "No child can beat me!"

I have been to my share of VW shows in the Southeast in 1999, 2000 and especially in 2001. At EVERY show when a person won there was ALWAYS applause for them. There were always people stopping by the car and asking questions. When we were building the car you can bet your bottom dollar we asked many,many questions to the VW folks. I never had anyone of them refuse to help. There were many who came to us with advice.  

However I have attended a few of the "OPEN" type car shows where out of the goodness of their and I quote Tennessee Ernie Ford here" Little Pea Picking Hearts" they included a class for imports. About 80-85% of the looked down their noses at us. And when the prizes were awarded, did they applaude?? NO!! I observed this when I was at the show in Lafayette. The only applause I heard was when the VW awards went out. All I can say is, some of those folks better never go out in a rain storm or they will drown.

As for me I will stick withthe Volksfolks as long as they will let me. It has remained stable since I first became acquainted with it and I see no reason why it will not continue that way. My only regret is that Chattanooga is not closer to Tallapoosa so I could get to the cruise in and other get togethers.

I'm not sure who you are refering to, but I've been around these guys for 3 years now.  And one thing I now is that they love to give each other a hard time.  Are you sure your not confusing smack talk with just pure joking fun.  I was there at the show and the genral mood of everyone was just laid back having a great time.

We all come to have fun and honestly I just can't see anyone being mean to a child? I hope that, that didn't happen but I don't think you should use the forum as a way to handle this situation because so many visitors get on here to read and how does that look really? You can't really take must of our teasing serious if you know all of us you will find we joke ALOT.
