Default Another sucessful year at DATR!!

I just had to share this, because it is a source of much excitment in my life. I started a little VW/ Audi/ Porsche car show out in Colorado 7 years ago, and when I moved away a few of my friends helped me to keep it alive. There were some logistical issues, but overall it looked to be a great event once again! If you are out in Colorado late next August, you will not want to miss it!

Here are a few pics from the show, thanks to Mark Mager and Boki Evans for sharing them!

Sweet pictures! That chopped silver Beetle is too shiny for its own good, though.

And, dumb question...what does DATR stand for? images/smilies/unsure.gif

Man, that car is SUHHH-WEEEEET!!!! Built by Kustom Coach Werks in Grand Junction, Colorado. KCW is basically THE shop you take a car to if you want it to turn out like that.

Next year we are going to open up the taps (and our wallets) for a MUCH bigger event.

Two day show, autocross, huge overnight party, camping, swap meet, slow drags, and hopefully a mobile dyno too. If we can raise the funds we might also attempt a full on track event, but the costs are nearly triple, so who knows.

I've been looking for another excuse to go to Colorado, maybe I'll be able to make it next year. I might even have an old Bug by then, I've been itching for one for a while.
