So by 17 July all of the rain will be gone in SE Qld and we will be up for an awesome cruise!!

We want to hear from some more KG owners. We are aiming at 20+, otherwise those Victorians might beat us!!

How about other VW cousins? Nothing like a mid winter cruise to blow off the winter blues!

At the last Karmann Kruise in Sydney in 1997 we got 13 Ghias, which looked fantastic on the road together! The KG folks in Victoria have done a few runs, not sure what their numbers got to.
It would be great to get to 20+. I know there are many Ghia owners who are not regular VW event participants - getting the message to them is the real challenge.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
