How 'bout, starting now, anyone with a type2 who wants to be associated, register their vehicle/s by posting the details here e.g. 1965 11 window van, colours, etc etc.......and.....with every registration you have a crack at naming the club.
Which ever name appears the most is it.
Then if you don't like the name, you de register and start your own splinter group using the name you like.
Then we can get on with selecting a secret hand shake.
This is really coming together.
Hey Roy,
What about "SPLITBAY TRANSPORTERS"? Does that include everyone and not make one group an outcast? You could always throw the club/group/Australia on the end if needed.:thumb
I like
fatchicks n splits :P
how about something nice and simple like
(the australian type two volkswagen transporter enthusiast club)...lol
1961 swb buggy
1960 karmann ghia
1963 Single Cab: "El Concreto"
1963 bent 23 window " Frieda Samba "
1963 Eriba Faun camper " Cara Van daCamp"
2012 Skoda Octavia scout
Get down low and go,go,go

It`s just a small piont but there`s a few of us.
good on ya roy, let me know if there`s anything i can do from the sunny coast.
Theres always one to throw a spanner in ok
kombi van,ute, microbus samba clubof australia incorporated
you're right,
"kombi van" excludes single cabs and double cabs.
But "transporter" excludes microbus deluxes, caravelles, and the like.
I'm in favour of keeping it simple and all inclusive, and just having it as Australian Volkswagen Type 2 blah blah, or Volkswagen type 2 blah blah of Australia.
how about the "we couldn`t think of a name club" or "?" or the "we thought we were indecisive but now we`re not so sure" vw club
The problem is the usual, cant please all of the people all of the time, one.
If it was called VW Transporters club, that would exclude some and also a lot of owners dont visit this site or are not into the scene and might not realise what there buses are really called, just might think it is a kombi.
But then if you call it the VW kombi club, some of the purists might say but mine is a single cab or a microbus, see what I mean.
I think just a simple one (like myself)
Australian Kombi Club.
But then there might be a problem with using the word Australian, I know companies have to apply to the government to be able to use Australian. And if you use Volks Wagen, then Vw/Seat might have a go?
See its getting harder to get a name.
How about.
Aussie Kombi Club.
Cheers
Dave
How about
personally I think there is enough aussie this and that,
how about "vw transporter (??????????) australia"
club, collective, group, drivers, owners, wannabe owners, admirers, preservers, rescuers, whatever?
are we there yet?
That works for me too.
Got to get a name soon.
Cheers
Dave

Hey what about Kombi's of Oz.Then underneath the location ie;sth east Qld.That is short and sweet! Don't know about the rest of you but we don't refer to our kombi as kombi van.Kombi Van Club sounds more American than Aussie. Well Roy,what do ya reckon mate!
It seems there is plenty of support for a National Kombi club no matter what the name.
Like Dave said the name will only suit some of the people some of the time but it has to be agreeable with everyone involved at present and in the future, coz I dont want to be changing it in 20 years
So what I propose is that as from tonight the "club" is up and running as something just plain and simple and to the point, nothing complicated.
KOMBI CLUB
This way it can be added to on stickers, T shirts, promos etc
ie.
Kombi Club - S E Qld
Kombi Club - Australia,
Kombi Club - Window lickers
Kombi Club - Buses with attitude
Thanks to Klub VW for the offer of help too, thanks.
I would like to get started so your honest opinions asap
Cheers
Roy
Get the idea? This is only a proposition to all of you that stated an interest
The other way around like.....
Club Kombi.
Just to be a pain in the arse.
"-Hannovermetalmadness-"(Infectious desease with no known cure).
Roy, why start a new club when one already exists?
Why not???
It dosen't mean we are in competition or anything, but until you mentioned it I knew nothing about any other club.
Anything is worth a go if it encourages more VW to the road
Why did I start a VW business when there are already shops out there, guess it was to offer more choice.
Why is there more than one sydney VW club?
All of the wheels are ready to start rolling, shall I forget about it and walk away or carry on??

carry on, just wondering, we'll have to do some runs soon...you coming to the berry show in may?
All depends whats happening locally, I try and support local runs first, Klub VW have a run to Brissie early May and I think there is something happening late May.
When is it and you might have to help me here, where is Berry??
Are you in to the Dubfest this year
Berry is on the NSW southcoast, 1st of May, Klubfest is the 15th may...
Dubfest, I would have been involved but the dates clashed, I was really clear that i wouldnt be there when the dates were set...saw pics, Frenzix said it was the best show he'd been to, he would be keen to organise it
I am sure Judy would appreciate all the help she could get this time round.
wrong thread mate !!! might be sweet if you could delete the last post please
