go to original November 3, 2012

The seventh edition of Vallartazo Vochero will begin on Saturday, November 17, 2012, with a caravan along the waterfront. They will depart at 6:00 pm from the entrance of Marina Vallarta by the whale sculpture to the Malecon.

On Sunday, November 18, cars will be on display at the Maritime Terminal beginning at 8:00 am. There will be food, beverages, and accessories for sale accompanied by live music. Admission is 20 pesos per person and children under 12 years of age are free.

Alberto Soto of the Volks Vallarta Club said this is a group of friends, with 16 years of existence, that consists of people who have the same goal: "the love of the Volkswagen line of Vochos, Safaris, Combi and Jetta, to name a few, and to meet to exchange ideas and display our cars in different locations."

He stressed the importance of all the Vochero Clubs in the country to participate and come to Puerto Vallarta.

Volks Vallarta Club is affiliated with the National Club of Mexico Vocheros AC. Each club has to support these national events in the state or city of the organizing club.

In that context, he noted that despite the national crisis that crosses Mexico and that has affected everyone in general, they already have confirmed attendance, participation and support from several clubs in the association.

There will be an exhibition and competition for all vehicles where the owners take pains to show the audience the general condition of their vehicles. "We must also emphasize that we are talking about old cars from the 50s to the latest edition, coming out in 2004, hence the need to review them on an individual basis."

The judging will be by the association representatives and is always difficult to select the winners in the three classifications of cars that are 100 percent original, modified and custom.

Those who obtain the highest score will be awarded with a recognition and a trophy created by the members of the club, which recognizes their efforts and passion for car owners of the Volkswagen line.
