The Great Canadian Bug Show, Stouffville, Ontario
Here are some photos I took Sunday, August 20, 2000 at the 10th annual Great Canadian Bug Show, which was held this year in Stouffville, Ontario.

This location is a big improvement over the previous one in Scarborough. There was a good turnout, and a good time was had by all. It should be even bigger and better in the future.

As usual there were a gazillion Beetles laying around all over the place. The Great Canadian Bug Show, Stouffville, Ontario

The Great Canadian Bug Show, Stouffville, Ontario If the VW designers could see this type 3 station wagon, I am sure they would mutter something unprintable in German!

It has a Beetle motor, in the front as well as the Type 3 motor in the back! You can just see the chrome valve cover peeking out over the front tire.
The sign says "For Sale.... only used on Sundays... needs very little to certify!"

Brad Thompson of Brad's Bugs was furiously negotiating to buy this truck.... he wants to use it on his vacation next month!

I hope he isn't going far....
