Action vs edition thread

So its come to that time of the year again to choose between action and edition again.

Lets see what your plans are and maybe the reasons why

santa pod for me

Edition all year long, what is VW action

Action at Santa Pod for me, Edition is full of posers and cheque book cars

i havent used a cheque book for years and my mk2 will hopefully be there

edition all the way, whole weekend camping me thinks

Edition for me. First year of it for me.

Ditto.

It's a bit silly for action to hold their show on the same week as arguably the most popular VW of the year

Action for me Racing wins every time! I prefer the atmosphere at Action to Edition anyhow

definatly edition for me. cant beat the camping vibes

Edition all the way, 3rd year in a row this year. BUH-ZING about it!

i am having trouble deciding on this one, a mate went to edition last year, and there was some petty theiving going on (he had some valve caps nicked ) but i would like to go to edition, has anyone else ever heard of anything like this going on @ Edition????

Action has been running since 1975, i think you'll find they were probably there first given that VW were barely making watercooled cars back then!!!

Action all the way, much more chilled out and less likely to get aggro from chavs or stuff stolen as mentioned above.

One of the trade stands had some guy steal some VDO guages.
Another of the trade stands had some replacement BBS centre caps (not the logo, the whole hex nut cap) stolen too.

And a few various members of the public getting stuff stolen like aerials, centre caps, valve caps etc.

I remember waking up on the sunday morning, chilling out for about an hour or two in my camping chair, and watching a bunch of pr!cks rolling a red MK2 (or an older Polo, can't remember which tbh) onto its roof.

Stop who?
That's quite a lot of people. I'm not a crime-fighting superhero.
And the red car was for sale for like £200. Apparently the guy couldnt sell it so they rolled it over. Something like that.

The security was a waste of time there too.
One of them twatted their Mitsubishi pickup door on another car whilst going along.

Looks like i am going to the pod then, especially as i have a red MK 2, hearing about chavs rolling it onto its roof makes me

Security is being up majorly for this years show, as a result of last year ( which was by far the worst ive experience out of the 4 years ive been). unfortunatly not every1 that goes to the show are dubnuts like us, asmuch as we'd like to think that they are. And its them who ruined alot of peoples weekend last year.

Saying that i had a great couple days, experienced non of the goings on mentioned above, its just like the saying 'good news travels fast, bad news travels fast' if you ask me

if you like top end show cars a few drinks and camping banter with mates, you cant go wrong with edition38 imo ofcourse

I'm not saying I had a bad weekend at all.
In all honesty, it was pretty good.
Camping and Drinking is always fun, even better when there's VAG cars involved.

This year the rave tent is being taken away right?

maybe woulda been better putting that in your first post then, to give a more balance few to people that havent been before.

yeah the 'rave' tent is not happening this year, something else is lined up apparently.

hmmmmm now i cant decide..... it was easier when i thought edition was trouble...

I didn't experience bad vibes either of the times i went to Edition, and both times i was there from Friday through Sunday... Just a few bad eggs, that you get at any event like that.

Only real downer i experienced was not driving a VAG car and feeling a bit left out, so same again this year LOL

Why?
Red_MK2_ryder asked if anyone had heard about any thieving going on at Edition 38. So I said that's what I saw/heard last year.
He never asked for opinions...

But yeah, it's a good show.
Just keep anything that can be robbed, locked up in your car, thats all!
