Title: VW-OPEN 18.05.2013 www.vw-open.fi
Post by: Jussifin on November 28, 2011, 22:40:35 pm
The old and original VW-OPEN still continues... 19.05.2012 Finland, Kiikala airfield. As slippery as allways, but safer than in traficlights. Come and show your performance. Have fun with plenty of cars, see the diffrent VW:s of Finland at the track. The RED HOT plays live, so pure rock"n"roll by Finnish guys. 1/4 mile at least 6 hours non-stop...

I volunteer to be the official event photographer. Charge the plane tickets on Valtteri's credit card, and send them to the mailing address that you have on file for me... ;D

Perfect. My guess is that Valtteri would want only the best for me. First class, round trip tickets are ~$6150. Since I want to leave Valtteri some money to spend on Fisu and Kossu, I'll fly coach class, which is only ~$1350...  ;D ;) ;D

Ahhh, the scenic route - guess I'd better allow for a few extra days of travel time, and hope that I don't end up in the lead role for an episode of Locked Up Abroad (http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/locked-up-abroad)... ;D
