Well completed my first Valla. Tired and grumpy when home but a good night sleep will fix the alcohol consumed.
Thanks to all of those people that organise this event, I had a blast. I can see why it has gone so many years.
Also it was great to put names to faces and meet many of the people I chat with on this site.
Ohh and how was that weather 😎
Cheers, Andrew

Ok Me N the Missus + grots were 1st timers and we had a blast except for the bloody kids whinging nearer to the end of the day. Just kids, oh and the end straw for me was when the youngest 2 and a bit went walkabout at the end of the day went AWOL for 15 minutes looking for him and that did it for me Right everyone in the Kombi's.
Apart from that we will all be back better prepared next time.
Oh yeh none of the atached pics are my cars just rather a snapshot of others i have many more.
my 2nd youngest standing near the red/black baja.
Keep the steering and the propulsion seperate . Still a Kombi...
It's all good, until it's bad, i suppose

thankyou for coming up Andrew........glad you enjoyed it
fasty looked good and fast too
thankyou for putting on a show at Raleigh Raceway
Cricky, that Heltoy likes to get crossed up a bit, who owns that anyway?
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!
the less said about that car the better I say. he certainly wasn't making too many friends in the pits with his driving antics and throwing dirt and crap all over the track..........

Thanks a lot daimo. I had a blast at the track even though shitting myself. First time ever on any track. Better make sure I get some track practice and learn how to drive especially as there are many more mods due on the car before next Valla.
Hey do you know if there was anyone at all who would have got some track footage. Would love to have sat on the hill and watched myself go around

Car looked great Andrew, I stopped on the hill as I was leaving and watched you hammer around the track. Very nice! That a 2.5? the announcer mentioned that it was?
Spyder-WISD 07-09-05 11.6s @ 125 MPH
Speedster-WISD Nats 05 14.4s @ 89 MPH
Jet cruiser-Coogee 22-09-05 900 deg C @ 110,000 rpm

Dam it!!!!!!!! I could have gone, i have my spare gearbox in & working fine on thrusday but i figured that i need it to last a at least few weeks, till the new Albins gears & the lockrite diff arrives, so i played it safe & just went for a gork at the Mt cotton hill Climb instead,,,, but it certainly looks like it was a great weekend,,, i know i would have been tempted to fang around the race track tho so in one sense i`m glad i didn`t go,,, the tow truck charge back to Brisbane after blowing yet another gearbox would have been a killer :-)
ah well,,, 2 years time i might make it again, i`ve only ever been once & it seems like a life time ago.

I wish Pete, yeah someone else mentioned that to me, its only a 2.0. I saw the speedster sitting at the caravan park and it just didnt click it was yours as i would have liked to introduced myself and had a good squiz at your car. The vehicle you had at Valla is the VW powered or Suby?

It was my first Valla to and I had such a blast!!! Thanx Jace, Jess Chris & Jon for such an awesome time =) Just got home, took us around 6 hours but it was a really nice drive there and back. I've fallen in love with Nambucca & Byron Bay!
Bloody awesome.
Great to see a wide variety turned out.
Absolutely fantastic show, well organised! Highly recommend anyone who has never been to go next time round. It was my first time I went to the vw spectacular, and Im glad I did. So many vws, and the convoy was brilliant. Can't wait for 2010!
Thats not rust, it's ah ... orange primer ... yep that's what it is ...

valla was such an awesome weekend, the weather was perfect
couldn't have asked for anything more..
even though it was only my 2nd valla it was SO MUCH better then the first one
was good to see most cars arrived safely
i only went through a quarter of a tank of fuel on the way down haha👍...
cheers jess😉
great weekend as always , missed the very first (not by choice but birth lol) will never miss one again
shame the night life was ruined this year by fire bans and cops in the park
there is normally ppl everywhere till around 5 am each night just roaming fire to fire , starting up random drunken convo's or cruising around the park in there cars at 5kph (with the exception of last year due to rain)
its more social event then car show
i know there is still ppl out there who only go to car shows to bitch about this judge or that trophy , the peoples choice judging has solved alot of that (although you will never shut the trainer queens up completely :P)
ps. ppl who left sunday arvo this year missed the funniest night of the weekend for night life haha

apart from that did i mention it was a top weekend
yeah good to catch up with yar H
missed the very first (not by choice but birth lol) will never miss one again
I can remember that hehehehe LOL

I hope you got some image of my 'wrecker racer'
🙂
Terrific event, I had a great time all day every days, and half the nights too!
Pay your debts, CxxT
The judging fomat over the last two Vallas has taken the prestige from this event its different strokes for different folks my thing is SHOW CARS others is socializing and caching up with old freinds while others are just there for the Volkswagen seen ,Its a big effort to prepere a car something that is lost on many people , PS I DROVE to Valla and home as I do every show I attend.
sorry , that was not ment to offend billet
im no stranger to the prep that goes into getting a car ready for a show
i love show cars , but no matter how nice or immaculate a car is i will never drive it somewhere to be judged (you love your car who cares if xyz likes it / hates it) all judging gets is ppl pissed off about the fact they missed out or that "joe blow" won
the only trophy i have ever really liked seeing awarded at valla is peoples choice 🙂
love the fact that you are not afraid to drive your car the distance , i dont know if i would have the patience to polish all that after the trip !
No offence taken AVWboy I have betten many high dollar cars and generaly thay come over and congradulate me judging is fine if done to a points format as is the case at most shows, I just love the compertition,I was the same when I was a racing my bike (in my youger years).
My girls vote Dads car the best everytime 😍
So where for interest can I find out the winners, people choice, top 10 etc etc?
