Orchid Euro Wants to Take You to Wörthersee

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

The mother ship is calling. Every year, some of Europe’s finest hoonigans and car nuts get together at a little lake in Austria to celebrate the brand they love: Volkswagen.

This year, it’s your chance to go thanks to Volkswagen and Orchid Euro. Devotees might remember that friend of the site, Jamie Orr, took his 1996 Golf Harlequin from Pennsylvania to Austria last year to attend the annual show, and this year he’s going back and he’s bringing friends.

If you own a VW and want to take it all the way to Wörthersee, this is your chance. The trip will ship up to seven vehicles and their owners to Europe for a 12 day road trip across four countries, to stay at a luxury apartment on the banks of the aptly named, lake Wörthersee.

Everyone who goes can bring a co-pilot, with whom they’ll take tours of museums in Wolfsburg, Ingolstadt, Gmund, and more.

Best of all, though, the organizers are taking care of all the logistics. They’ll figure out how to get your car shipped (on VW’s new vehicle shipping vessel) to Europe and you flown there and back for the low, low price of $2,900 per person.

Read the full details, including an itinerary and how to get involved at worthersee.orchideuro.com.

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.
