Went to the Charlotte Transporter Show this weekend. It rained off on and on all morning and that probably kept a few people away. But there was still a pretty good turnout and a good selection of busses. There are a few pictures in the photo gallery.
Here are a couple photo galleries from last year's CTS and a VW open house at a restoration shop in northern Georgia.

Gulches Mega 4x4 Challenge '08 Event Three |
|
It was a hot, dry and dusty day but the spectators were rewarded with plenty of action and carnage. Lots of mechanical mayhem, a few rollovers and the ever popular blindfolded driver kept everyone entertained. The courses were very technical and pushed the competitors and their rigs to their limits. And in some cases. . . beyond.

is better than working, but it ain't real great either. Especially, if your day (in my case) ends after only a couple minutes of wheeling. After my generator died and the mog was drug back up to the parking lot, the other three rigs in our group headed back out to find more mechanical mayhem. While I waited for my
tow rig and trailer to arrive, Bach managed to suffer a catastrophic failure in his PSC steering pump, Josh burned up the alternator-to-battery cable while winching Bach and just to join in the fun, Chris' fuel pump gave up the ghost. We were 0 for 4 that day! I managed to take a few pictures before my day was shot.

Gulches Powderpuff Competition |
|
This was Gulches first competition exclusively for the ladies but I don't think it will be the last. They really showed out and provided some great viewing and fierce competition in every class. They proved that it is not just the guys that can wheel and I am amazed at the driving skills they displayed. I can't wait for the next Powderpuff!
