It was 4:20am when I got home from Oppeln, a.k.a Opole in Silesia, south-west Poland where the undeniably the best “stance” event in this part of Europe is taking place this weekend. The fact that this year’s edition is located only 47km north-west from my hometown, was the number one reason I have decided to join and see what’s on offer.
Not that long time ago, I came home from this magical place in the Alps – Wörthersee. My memory cards, still full of photos I had taken in Austria, and later in Poland, didn’t seem to be ready to record more images. I wasn’t ready either. I got paralyzed by all of these awesome builds I saw, or rather by the result of our randezvous
We’re at an outdoor cinema and all seats are taken. The weather is good. It’s warm, or we’re warmed up by a selection of fine beverages we’ve had since our arrival in Środa Wielkopolska. Everyone has a glass, a bottle or a can in their hand. A few people are standing in behind sipping on some drinks patiently waiting for the show to begin.
Two weeks of hard work to build the Mk2. Two weeks of crap food, lots of stress and “mechanic’s syndrome” – the never ending grease under nails. All this only to get the latest VW in my collection ready for Ireland’s prime VAG dedicated show – GTINI’s world famous Dubshed. A last minute build – #DubshedPrep #Manana.
