This Sunday, August 24th is the NYC Traffic Jam. This is one of the most unique events in the Northeast. Held on Governers Island, you need to take the ferry over. Unfortunately if you are just hearing about this for the first time, you need to pre-register because [limited room on the ferries], I believe the event is sold out.

We have a very busy weekend coming up.. First, on Saturday July 12th is the Deutsche Classic in Oley PA. Although this is an all German cars show, with some fine examples of vintage Porsche, Mercedes and a few other unique German iron, there is a big turnout of vintage VW's. A great location and a great show, this is one not to miss.

On Sunday, July 13th is our own CJVWS/FCB Show-n-Shine at Foreign Car Werks in Bound Brook. This is an all-free event. Free Food, free Drink, Music by DJ Chris and about 100 of the finest vintage VW's in the area. It's a kick back VW party. The show is very casual and a lot of fun. We have some awards that we pass out, these are club choice awards that a few of us wander around the event and mark down the cars that catch our eye. They could be a stunning restoration or custom, or maybe a simple driver that has a style all of it's own. So it's not a formal show, just some fun and we take a moment to recognize a few cars.
Come on by, have some burgers or hot dogs and hang out with a bunch of other VW nuts.

Wow, despite Mother Nature's threats, the ninth annual All Air-Cooled Gathering turned out fantastic. Camping on Saturday was beautiful, we had about 150 people show despite the threat of rain and although it did get a little wet late Sat night, it just showed how hard core VW campers can be. On Sunday we had about 300 cars, down a little from last year but I attribute that to the folks that have a little mositure fobia. For those who threw caution to the wind, that gamble paid off with blue skies and 70 degree weather. The swap was hopping, the cars were stunning, the valve cover racing was energizing and even though the South Jersey Volkswagen Club was a no-show for the Dub Push, a new club from Maryland stepped up and did one heck of a job pushing a Bus!

Overall it was another fantastic All Air-Cooled Gathering. Mark you calendar for September 20th and 21st, 2014 for our 10 year anniversary, it's gonna be epic.

09.15.13

We are just a week away from the All Air-Cooled Gathering [Sept 21st and 22nd]. Just got back from our annual pre-show scouting party and the Swim and Sport Club looks great. We are gearign up for another fantastic show. If you havent' been before, the only regret you'll have when you leave is that you missed eight other great shows. Check out the show website for more details, specifically click on the Special Events tab on the top to see some of the things we have planned.

08.20.13

One of my personal favorite shows is coming up next Sunday. The VW Lovers of NYC are having the third installment of their NYC Traffic Jam on Governor's Island. This is a truley unique event. Because no cars are normally allowed on the island, you need to make advance reservations and there are only so many cars allowed. If you haven't registered, then you are out of luck this year, but mark this down as a must see event. Governor's island is a beautiful location, you can rent bikes and cruise around the island, there are historical tours you can take, great food [and a beer garden!] or you can just kick back and take in the views of Manhatten and the Statue of Liberty. If you are interested in checking it out this year, you can [just not with your car], the ferry ride is free for pedestrians so come on down. Be sure to mark it down on you calendar for next year. One tip though, like the rockstar event it is, reservations usually get snapped up in the first 36 hours so you can't delay. You really don't want to miss this next year.

08.14.13

The Lehigh Valley Dutch Dubbers are having their VW Fest again Saturday at Young VW in Easton PA.. This is a great little kick-back show, weather is looking swell so it should be a wonderful wayn to spend a saturday afternoon. A bunch of CJVWS members will be there so it must be a great show!

07.30.13

Another event you don't want to miss is DVG's Long Island Air Raid coming up this weekend, August 4th, at the American Airpower Museum in Farmingdale [Long Island] NY. This is either the third or fourth year and our Long Island brothers put on a pretty good gig. Well worth the quality time you'll spend on the belt parkway. It'll be held on the opposite side of the airport from where it was held last year, I'm sure it's going to be a spectacular event.

07.08.13

The CJVWS Show-n-Shine in Boundbrook isless than a week away. I believe thsi heat wave should be breaking this weekend so it shoudl eb a spectacular show. This event is a lot of fun, I hope to see a lot of you there.

06.25.13

Lookign for a weekend of VW fun, July 13th is the Deutsche Classic in Oley PA and on July 14th is he CJVWS Show-n-Shine in Boundbrook. Our Show-n-Shine is one not to miss. It's an all free event held at Foreign Car Werks in Bound Brook NJ. Besides free admission, there is free food [burgers, dogs, salads, chips, etc] free drinks [soda, water], live music and some of the areas best rides. We typically get about 100 cars and it's really a laid back party. We do have about a dozen club choice trophies, but not your typical judged show, so it's anyone's guess who might go home with an award. It's all fun, come on out for a great time.

06.14.13

Summer is in full swing, shows are happening practically every weekend, to keep on top of the events, got to our events page and download the schedule from the bottom of the page. This will keep you on top of all that is happening in the VW world in and around New Jersey.

05.28.13

The Greenwich Concours d' Elegance is coming up this weekend in Greenwich CT. Although this is a prestigious event, attended by some of the finest automobiles in the northeast, it isn't necessarily on our radar [not VW specific]. This year however we got a blip! CJVWS Member Bob Cropsey was invited to display his '67 21 Window Bus. The same bus featured on the All Air-Cooled Gathering poster a few years ago. Kudos to Bob. The event has just starting to recognize Volkswagens and their importance to the automobile world [and collectors] and we are proud of Bob in being one of the first to get that recognition. If you are not doing anything this weekend, specifically Sunday when the "international" vehicles will be featured, come on up and show your support. I'd also like to throw in that friend of the club, Chris Vallone has also been invited to the event. This will be Chris's second time in as many years representing our marque. Congrats to Chris as well.

05.13.13

The Dutch Dubbers Spring Cruise-In isthis Sunday May 19th. This is an excellent event held at America On Wheels, a great little car Museum in Allentown, PA.

The Paul Goerz Memorial Mustache Ride and Kamp-out! is coming up in a little less than two weeks [May 4th]. A 35 mile cruise through the backroads of central/northern Jersey ending at the Long Valley Brew Pub for lunch. Last year we had about 30 cars on the cruise and I wouldn't be surprised if we doubled the turnout this year. Paul Goerz was a gem, a member of ours who was taken to soon. We are taking this day to celebrate the man and his mustache for a fun little event that I'm sure he'll be with us at every turn. Check out out the thread on our forum for more details or the event webpage

04.16.13

This is our slow time of year, with the temps dropping, volks are tucking away their cars for teh winter or starting winter projects. It's been one heck of a year, with the loss of a few members and the effects of Sandy, I think we wil all be looking forward to the new year.

11.05.12

Well our power has been restored, Sandy didn't beat us. We may be a little worse for wear, but overall we were lucky. Many club members have checked in and it seems that most everyone is ok. It will be a special Thanksgiving for sure.

10.23.12

Although not an air-cooled event, it's hard to beat the Coolwater Fall Colors Cruise coming up in a couple weeks on Nov 4, 2012. It starts and ends at the Sussex Fairgrounds and there will be food, t-shirts and raffle prizes. It's a 60-90 mile cruise through some of New Jersey's most scenic roads.

Definitely one for the books. The dust has settled, and the positive reviews have come pouring in. The eight annual , All Air-Cooled Gathering was an astounding success! Our best event to date. Everything ran smoothly, events like the Valve Cover Racing, Dub Push and all the kids activities added to the record number of air-cooleds in attendance [323]. Our trophies were a big hit, the swap was bigger than ever and the weather couldn't have been better. We had over 200 campers on Saturday and Jeff Taylor's band rocked the night away. We have really built something here we can all be proud of. Thanks to everyone who attended and those who helped, it's because of you this is becoming the best show in the northeast.

Well, the temps are starting to drop, Volks are settling in for those long winter projects, and I myself am about to embark on a new powerplant for the '69. A dropped valve seat forces me into a dilemma. Freshen-up the top-end of the 1500, or bite the bullet and build something bigger for my little runabout. We'll see what pops up at Englishtown in the Spring!

10.28.11

Yikes! Snow in October! I guess it's tiem to get an early start on those winter projects, it looks like we will have plenty of winter this year to work on them.

10.21.11

The CoolWater Fall Colors Cruise is this weekend. It’s a charity event that’s a 75+ mile drive through some of the most beautiful back roads in New Jersey. It’s a huge cruise, hundreds of cars. Although mostly water-cooled, there is always a decent air-cooled contingent. So if you are looking for a spectacular way to bring in the fall, this is it.

10.13.11

The South Jersey Volkswagen Club is doing a bang up job with the show and we are lookign forward to coming down again as spectators and participants! See you all there!

08.14.11

The NYC Volkswagen Traffic Jam was a blast. Travis and crew produced a well managed and unique event. Everything was perfect. You couldn't ask for a better day.

This weekend is Bugs and Buses at Barnegat Bay! I believe this is the eighth year John Pickens has been putting on this show. It's a great little gathering on the beach and across the street there is an arts and crafts fair with good food, and alot of stuff for sale you really do not need! So you can go swimming, shopping, or just hand out with a bunch of other VW nuts. A perfect way to spend aSunday afternoon.

07.14.11

We had a fantastic time at the Show-n-Shine. We had about 100 of the area's finest VW's on display, the weather was perfect, the the food was tasty. What more could you ask for.

07.04.11

Happy 4th of July! If that wasn't enough to celebrate, next weekend is the Deutsche Classic in Fleetwood PA on Saturday and our own Foreign Car Werks Show-N-Shine in Bound Brook, NJ on Sunday. Both are fantastic events, go to them both if you can, but if you can only go to one, then come to the show-n-shine, it's free [admissino and food] and it's fun! Ok, I'm biased ;^)

06.28.11

Did you see the recent Barrette-Jackson auction last weekend? A '63 23 window, sunroof bus sold for $218,000 [with auction fees]. I saw this bus in person a few weeks ago at the Classic in California. It was truely and exceptional vehicle but who would have thunk it would have sold for so much. You can check out a few pics on the listing at Barret-Jackson or a video of the actual auction on Speed Chanel.

06.16.11

The Classic out in California was great, If you haven't been, put this on your list of things to do next year. The amount and quality of these cars is unreal.

One great show after another, The Lehigh Valley Dutch Dubbers Spring Cruise-In at America on Wheels in Allentown was a blast, besides a cool turnout of VW's, the Museum had this great display of vintage "Dragsters of the Northeast." But if that didn't do it for you the real life cars from the Disney movie "Cars" were on hand to taking pictures with everyone. There had to been more than a thousand people there waiting to get their pic taken with Lighting McQueen, Mater and the new character, Finn McMissile [he's a British spy]. The big kid in me was in awe! Next up this weekend is Granny Grose's Buses in Beaverton PA and then we got But-Out in Manassas VA coming up on the 29th. So fire up your old dub and come on out and have some fun.

05.05.11

Excellent turnout at Volksfest, this show is the one to watch [besides the All Air-Cooled Gathering in September], this Saturday however is a great little event out in Allentown, PA.. The Lehigh Valley Dutch Dubbers Spring Cruise-In will be held again at the America on Wheels Auto Museum. This year the life size versions of the characters from the Disney Movie "Cars" will be there. I've been to this event a few times in the past and it's great. The museum is relatively new and has a fantastic collection of cars on display. Besides the visit form the Disney Cars, I understand that their current exhibit is of "Dragsters of the Northeast" so that alone should be worth the trip. Check out our events page for more details and other upcoming events.

04.15.11

The weather held out for Show-N-Go and although the show was a little light, the swap was packed. Best swap in years. Speaking of great swap meets, Volksfest [formerly in Campbelltown] is coming up on the 30th.

Give me a couple days and I'll post some pics on the Event Pics section of the site.
