Title: VW Gasser Garage Lounge for EBI2 Post by: Russell on October 10, 2007, 09:55:15 am Well guys time to annouce my latest project the VW Gasser Garage Lounge for EBI2, as you know our little tent was well used this year especially with the rain on friday, however we felt the time wasted on setting up and taking down would have been better spent drinking !!!
So for EBI2 we have decided to set a new bench mark, within our Lounge will be a "race car wall of fame" and a special display feature ! we also plan to have our bar hosted by wray again ! Here's the project before we started and the ongoing work.......
