Where enthusiasts gather

Concept

Events.

A field, a Saturday, and thirty cars that all sound the same. We know what an events page should be. What we do not have is one listing we could stand behind: dates move, organisers move, and a calendar that is wrong is worse than no calendar at all. So for now this page carries TheSamba.com's own listings, republished with attribution and not verified by us.

What works today

What is a concept

  • These are TheSamba.com's own listings. VWX republishes them with attribution and has not verified any of them.
  • Nothing here is submitted anywhere, and no organiser has been asked for anything.
  • There is no submission, registration, ticketing or map on VWX — only the list below and a link to the source calendar.

Six kinds of gathering.

A calendar has to sort itself before it can be useful. These are the six sorts.

Shows

Large-scale exhibitions and competitions

Cruises

Group drives and road trips

Meetups

Casual gatherings and hangouts

Rallies

Multi-day tours and adventures

Swap Meets

Parts markets and trading

Workshops

Hands-on learning and tech sessions

Upcoming shows, as listed on TheSamba

Listings from TheSamba.com's event calendar, retrieved 6 September 2026. Details and dates belong to their organisers; confirm with the organiser before travelling. VWX sells no tickets and lists no prices.

Host an event?

If this existed, an organiser would send us the date, the field and the details, we would check them with the organiser, and the listing would say when we last did. There is nothing to send it to yet, so there is no button here.

Envisioned

  • Listings that come from the organiser, not from us.
  • A date confirmed with the organiser before it is printed.
  • A map for the listings above, once we can build one.
  • A listing that says plainly when it was last checked.
  • VWX will not authenticate a vehicle, and will not share anyone's contact details without their consent.

Tell us what you think

  • Would you trust a calendar we did not keep current?
  • What would you need in a listing before you drove to it?

Stories

Two kinds of story sit in this garage. The written kind is here today: the model years told as editorial, and one truck being rebuilt in public. The kind we do not have is yours — the car, the trip, the person who sold it to you. That one needs your name on it, your permission and an editor. Until it has all three, this page shows what exists and what the rest would take.
