Thanks, but they were only taken on my mobile phone. Wish I had photographed more for those that couldn't make it. I'm sure the official photos
will be out soon.

I attended the Shootout yesterday with my daughter, first time I've been, and it won't be the last. I found the clubmembers very friendly and
organised, thanks for a great day!
I thought there might have been more cars on show, heaps parked outside and in the carpark?! And yes, there weren't many water-cooled, but there
were some there.
All in all, well done to Flat Four.

very impressive photography with your mobile and nice cars.The question Phantom is- Why were they parked in the carpark and not entered in the show?
This is some thing that the Flat Four Club and others have to look at seriously. Is it cost of entries,apathy on the part of Volksy owners or a more
sinister reason such as -we can tell who will win without even going to the event so why waste $ that I can't spare on an entry fee? I am not trying
to be negative but i have been to quite a few shows and there are always very nice vehicles in the carpark,in some cases the guys have spent a lot of
time and all their budget to get the vehicle on the road and are very proud of them,in fact some of them are better than what is on show.(hoping this
doesn't open a can of worms ,but this is how I see the show scene Les

a good point about the cars in the car park a many times we have asked them to take part in the show and always get the same answer i'm not into
showing we as a club have tryed everything to get a better turnup but as the saying nothing works
as for a show being shorter we try same as all clubs but it is dictated by the scoring and tallying after all sheets are in and this is no mean task
i can only speek for myself but i try to go to as many shows as i can and always enter i know very well that I wont win but i do it for the club as
usually it's the only way they can raise money to keep the club going so my littly bit of entry fee is a small price to pay to keep these clubs going
and my spoet i know that there are many like myself because i meet the same people at them
so to all fellow vw drivers put them in as you will be more than winning a trophy that will end up in some cupboard you will be helping a club to
survive and that is a trophy in it's self
hope to see you all at all events

was so welcomed.

But with Valla "he who brings the most friends(or club mates) will win the goodies.
Don't say it doesn't happen cause I have seen it happen first hand not from putting a car on show but from organising and tallying the votes and
seeing what is going to win.

I recently finished my build,it isn't the best car there but I can buy a tonne of trophies with the money left over from my build.If I want to beat
my competition I have to pull my finger out and put the same money and hours into it.Judges score the cars as they are, I'm not going to cry over
it.If no one entered their cars there wouldn't be shows to go to.If I get 1 person looking at my creation and taking photos,that's my trophy.support
local clubs or the small vee dub scene will phase out!!!

i know im not alone in this as this has been raised many times before and its not going to change.
if you want to know who it is thats won the division my car fits into pm me im not about to air this publicly as im not here to cause arguments.

I was there an Hour
I don't enter cars (too restrictive)
I don't want a trophy (they looked cheap, should have given everyone free hot dogs instead)
Swap meet was tiny
venue is stale
numbers way down
same old cars inside
vendors down
I think this event needs a freshen up
maybe find a Venue closer to the city
and do they really have to give trophies? give everyone a event shirt instead or a sticker yay!
I dont see a reason to go next year 
same old same old

It is true that some cars do win the same categories, but sometimes they have no competition,
if you dont enter your car, you dont compete with them...simple really.
i went / entered for the first time & came away happy.
There were lots of nice cars not entered,(parking lot)
and a lot of the same cars inside / displayed that are at all the shows,
MAYBE these people just really enjoy their cars & the atmosphere...they are certainly committed
each to their own........i still see new things on cars i have seen several times
Step up to get out !!!
