You missed a very good event!
Weather was perfect, venue was excellent and some very nice cars, as always.
One complaint - that gorgeous 914 isn't mine!

Good day out. A few new cars I hadn't seen before.

914 has a Vw badge on one side and a Porsche badge on the other. It was commonly called the car that neither company wanted to take ownership of!!

The 914 definately has a better place at a vw show than those plastic off road things with non vw engines in them.😂Baja Wes wrote:I didn't quite know why the 914 was there?

Should there be a Porsche class next year? VW now owns Porsche after all.
Audi, Seat, Skoda, Bentley, Lamborgini and Bugatti could enter as well.

Yeah, categories is a tough one - ideally you want to have enough to keep everyone happy, but at the same time it possibly doesn't make sense to have a category with only 1 or 2 entries. Should Country Buggy's get their own category for example.
For Action Day this year we decided the categories based on what cars entered the previous year, so yeah - the list might be different next year.
Oh and re the 914 being the bastard child that no-one wants - hell I'd love to have one of 'em as a nice little track toy !!!

There were a few categories with only 1 car, so yes I understand it's tough to decide which categories to keep and which to drop. Although I think the country buggy / buggy / baja combined class probably had one of the higher numbers of entries at the show.
For me I just take my car to add some variety to the show. I know people like looking at it, particularly kids - they love to pose for photos near it 🙂
As for the 914, I've been going to VW shows for 15 years and I don't think I've seen a Porsche enter the show before. Therefore I was naturally a little surprised to see one.

914's like 411/412 have been on again/off again at shows mainly due to low numbers in Oz. I have seen them about at shows over the years though.
914/4 didn't share much with VW other than the motor and I think a couple of suspension bits.
They are a little more visible at shows down south.
I think there's room at VW's shows for 356's, 914's, 912's etc that did have a link back to the VW factory, just like Karman

Oh no this is my fault I own the bastard child 914, Folks I did not go expecting or wanting to win a trophy, why did I take it, Mainly because there are'nt that many around and I thought some one may enjoy having a poke around it. Also the action day flyer had a picture of a 911 on it( help me out here, the yellow car, can any one else see it, anyone.........). I appologise to those who I upset/offended that was not my intention, I am truly sorry.
If I may, even though it's been touched on above, the cars DNA
Body built at Karmann factory, same one as Karmann Ghia's (I can prove this as they both rust at exactly the same rate)
VW type IV (modified) motor similar to KOMBI
VW brakes VW wheels VW Switches (lights wipers ignition etc) VW idiot lights.
Porsche gearbox front suspension speedo and tacho.
So where does it belong, Porsche guys think w#*nker in a VW, VW guys think w@*nker in a porsche, maybe i am a w@*nker but you know I like the car
and I can live with that.
I really enjoyed the show, loved all the cars and look forward to next year, maybe just as a spectator.
If this one has no cred here, maybe my past cars will get me out of trouble, 60's bug, 60's baja, 71 beetle, 77 Kombi Camper
Thanks for letting me rant
cheers

ps this is my second attempt at this post if it appears twice sorry for that as well

This is an internet forum, so people love to take everything out of context. Your 914 didn't offend me. I just said I didn't quite know why the owner would want to bring a 914 to the VW show. It seemed like a pretty logical thing for someone to wonder when someone brings a Porsche to a VW show.
You just explained why you wanted to bring it, and that's cool 🙂 Just because you can is reason enough.
I never intended to imply that I didn't think it shouldn't be there or anything crazy like that. 😎
