Default Toys for Tots Drive / Show & Shine - Norwich, CT

Saw this on the SHO boards, thought I'd pass it along. I'm probably bringing the '84 Cab for the run instead of my SHO anyway.

The following is cut & pasted from other boards:
Saturday, Dec. 18, 2004
Swift Motorsports & the US Navy will be having a Toys For Tots Toy Drive at Swift Motorsports 8 bay installation center in Norwich Connecticut. We are asking for any one who is able, to provide a single unwrapped toy for Needy Children of Connecticut.

Matt Swift the owner, and his awesome crew would like to show a huge support from VWs [edit: again, pulled from Taurus SHO board, so this is getting around), along with other types of cars. It will be a freindly gtg at his shop, and will be cool to see the cars you guys bring down. Please spread the word to anyone and everyone about this, if you guys and girls can make it that would be awesome. And they would really appriciate it. If you guys and girls need directions to his shop his site is www.swiftmotorsports.com or you can email them.

Matt Swift (owner) and his crew are also offering a 10% discount on anything you buy that day from them....as long as you can bring a gift.

Was there between around 1 to 2pm. Lots of R32 / AE GTI's, Lancer EVOs, STIs & SRT-4 Neons, a couple of lowrider airbag trucks, a Honda or two, and one V8 SHO.

Ridez / Tunerz turnout, but the kids got a decent pile of toys. My 6 year old was into the Neon with strobe headlights.
