Sunday I went to one of the best events in my life. Waterfest 15. North Americas largest gathering of VW’s and Audi’s. With this post, I will be going over everything I did along with the pictures that I took. I didn’t take as many as I thought I would because of the sheer size of the event and the fact that I did not have an SLR.

I left my house at about 6am and immediately went to search for a car wash that is open that early. Well turns out there isn’t any, well, that I know of. I tried Vets Car Wash down the road from me. It wasn’t so instead of taking the LIE, I ended up taking 27. I was going to get off at Robert Mosses Causeway and take Southern PKW to the Belt but I completely forgot about it so I said whatever. Remember, it is 6:20am. I started to continue to take 27 all the way to the Belt PKW. At that point I really wished I got off at RM since I would have missed all the traffic lights, even though since it was early I barely hit any. Finally get to the Belt towards Verrazano-Narrows Br into Staten Island. I didn’t realize that the bridge went up to $11 a car. Took 440 south to Outer Br and than onto Rt 9 south. When I got to the track, I got completely confused at where I was going. Took me a good 10 minuets just to get to the huge exhibition parking lot I was parking in.

Finally, I got there and started to get overwhelmed with Audi’s and VW’s. One after another they where pulling in. From full stock to completely rebuilt cars. It was just amazing. Thing was that I got there very very early so I needed to wait to actually get into the grounds with all the vendors and such. I had to take a quick look around the parking lot just to see what was around. Here are some pictures. Most of these where later in the day since there where a lot more.

Finally It turns 9am and a flood of people made it into the vendor area. Here is what I saw though it.

I am now on a mission to rebuild my interior of my Bora. As is I figured out how to remove my full center console and gear shifter as you can see from the pictures below. It turns out that someone at some point in the cars life split soda all into the console. If you look close at the pictures, there are brown spots on the white paint. That is sticky soda stuff. Next I need to do is fix the fabric on the doors because well its falling off.

The main reason I am doing this is because the 19th (next sunday), I am going to an Audi/VW car show in Englishtown, NJ. I will be in the exhibition area along with a lot of other VW/Audi drivers. I will be taking lots of pictures of my adventure and posting them on here.

These stupid numbered lists of random untrue information about a select group of people annoy me when it fills my e-mails inbox. This is a different story though. I was looking for best driving roads of Long Island so I can go on a random adventure when I came across This Page. It is mostly true when it comes to driving on is island.
