Worthersee 2015: Day 4 and 5 Galleries Now Live

[photos: Si Gray]

Coming out of the first unofficial weekend of Worthersee Treffen, the crowd has actually dissipated a bit, a change welcomed by our own Si Gray and the dedicated few who enjoy the relative calm before thousands upon thousands descend on the town.  With less congestion clogging the streets, Si took the opportunity to head outside of town to nearby Schiefling for a change of scenery before heading back to a decidedly less packed Reifnitz in the late afternoon.  Even though the traffic has dissipated a bit, Si still describes the traveling situation after dark as ‘a nightmare.’

Looking through the images, you’re sure to spot some new faces and some from previous days.  While we’re still quite a few days away from the main event, we feel pretty safe in calling the trends for this year- Liveries, Ferrari wheels, and reverse-mounted three-piece rollers.

As usual, the majority of builds seen at Worthersee achieve a level of detail that is seldom seen on this side of the Atlantic.  The European enthusiasts have an uncanny knack for leaving no panel untouched while still retaining a stock feel.  Even those which have been widened or seen an extensive amount of shaving and tucking still have an OEM-quailty aesthetic.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
