Hi everybody,
Good to see so many people turned up at Bulli today, dispite the bad weather.
It was really good to meet some of you guys in the flesh.. so to speak. I had some great chats got some good advice and met some really nice people and of course saw some really great VW's of all shapes and sizes.
I have said it before & i am sure i will say it again .... VW people are the best kind of people to know.... WOO HOO !!
cheers 57Cal Look

heeey cool. My kombi finally made it into pictures. And it is now worth more money. From now on its HellbusII, trophy winner at Volksday '03.
What did I win? Dog of the day. How rude. I was expecting it though. There was only 2 bent cars there and mine was most bentest. And the guy presenting told me it was a good engine as he handed it to me. I gotta say this though... my kombi aint as ugly as the trophy it won. A tappet cover is not a good look ClubVW Illawarra.

funny story....
the third pic in the last set. That car was parked opposite me. A guy with wife n kid walks past and stops. Points to the carb crossbar and states ... " see that? its a stabiliser for handling. You need it for racing "
I wonder why if you've got absolutely no idea, why you would open your mouth only to prove it.
It was one of the highlights of my day actually. Gave me a grin and something to talk about.

yeah it was a great day even with therain.... picked up 2 trophies with my Smoothieeee paint n modified.
goo to meet new faces n some old ones as well.
So who was there.
great photos looks like i missed a great day..any bargins in the swap meet people.
cheers..:beer
Yep, really great day we were in orange camper with Chrome hubcap on spare wheel parked next to the really low black Kombi with white stripes. Which car was yours Chris? Saw Daves car but didn't know what he looked like
I should point out we did not get there until 11.30 as our kids paper runs all I wanted was a matchbox Kombi & a Camper step but there was nothing left by the time we got there
Kim,
I had a look in the engine bay & we have one of those stabilizers - great idea & works well too

Hey where are all the swapmeet photos,
Yes I was a good day, swapmeet was a bit slow, but there were a few bargans, I got 2 nice 5 stud Type 3 rear drums for $25.

Hey Beck i saw those drums... good purchase.
hey people,
went down to bulli on my lonesome to meet a few people with aussieveedubber.com shirts.. but couldn't find anyone! 🙁
so i just walked around by myself hoping to see a face i recognised... no luck though 😉 i'm a loser.
i think i saw dave and adz drive away in vw-054. i was walking up to say hi as dave pulled out of his little parking spot.. how rude... 😉 nice car though 😀
anyways i got some photos that i'll post up soon.
hey, and talking about.. well stuff... i'm up for grabbing beers with people wherever you grab beers, just to meet aand greet a few faces so i actually know what y'all look like.
Trophy for loser of the day...
Yianni.

I went down for a couple of hours. Although it was great to see a fair few cars get down there, the rain was getting to me in the end. One of my favorite parts of any show, is walking around the parking lot and checking out the rides until owners start looking at you funny....I picked up bargain for our Kombi. It was an n.o.s sui-side airduct/armrest. I got it from that nice bloke with the blue Splitty!
Sat in next to Boris for a while and listened to Greedy's explanation of his supercharged Kombi...

sorry dave, my bad.
I thought it was a great day - the rain just gave it character. Those of us who remember the first Nationals in 1988 will understand!
I thought I was ripped off - Walker was one of the judges and penalised my Kombi for having water on the floor inside (I left the roof vent open). And he never bought me a beer, the cheap bugger.
We weren't wearing Aussie Veedubbers shirts because we were wearing Club Veedub shirts!
Phil, was yours the beautiful white camper with 3 drops of water on the table?
Someone wanna answer me here?
the teele & white comes from the central coast of NSW and was purchased as a one owner car before undergoing a full resto. the resto was done about 5 years ago and is one of the fine fleet of classics from the Volkswagen Histoical Society.
Cheers.Neil.:beer
Hi Kim, yes the white camper is mine. Those three drops of water cost me a tappet cover trophy!!!
Actually I rather like that idea. It makes me wonder what other VW engine parts could be used on trophies, cleaned and painted of course.
Adz
and dave that WAS me said g'day as u walked back from the swap meet to the undercover area hehe...... rude prick
yes now i remember so WHY didnt you stop.... or i might have been TOO hungry n trying to get ot the food stand.
oh and dave was that your car with the flying VW sign on it ? or did u only have the orange smoothie there?
NO i had the Orange car there left the Oval at home.
