nice pics kafer. Looks a great day.

I bet Tazz was drooling over that red T34 Karman Ghia. Niiiicce. :thumb

Stanley ·

nice plates

Stanley ·

and finally just to show i'm not biased

Stanley ·

Nice Karmann L/H drive , pearl paint and for sale

Starbug ·

tazz wasnt the only one drooling over the t34! tis a very sweet ride!

what a great day it was, apart from the traffic getting down there! it was good to finally meet heaps of people from the forum (so now i can put names to faces!) and got to see some great rides!! pics coming as soon as i get my sister to send my usb cable back!

hooray for veedubs and getting really sunburnt!

Baja Wes ·

nice max FX buggy, built and sold by a company on the gold coast.

Baja Wes ·

this green bug won best interior (judged by a trimmer, other classes were peoples choice), and some other categories.

Baja Wes ·

here's most of the winners. Unfortunately there was more winners than parking spaces so I had to park on the speed bump 🙁

KOM123 ·

As always we love the pics 🙂 Looks like a great day :thumb

Baja Wes ·

Overall it was a great day. As you can see, QLD turned on some beautiful summer weather. Congrats to the organisors, as most people would know I like people's choice shows. Keeps the cost down ($5 was great) and gives the daily driven cars a chance in the show. The only downside was the 20minute line-up at the gate, but that sort of thing is to be expected with a big turnout :thumb

Sky ·

nice photos good to see grimace in a photo 😀

Baja Wes ·

Here's my trophies 😀

I won "favorite offroad" which I was really happy with. I was in against about 15-20 buggies, baja's and offroad kombi's. Thanks for everyone that voted for me :thumb

I was deciding whether to enter the best offroad or best aftermarket watercooled, but went offroad for a challenge. Best aftermarket watercooled would've been easy as there was only 1 other car in that category (a kombi) that was fairly well used.

But the second and bigger trophy was a complete suprise. Gold coast car sound came out to the show with a couple of non-vw demo cars. They then walked around to all the vw's and picked their favorite stereo installs. I managed to pick up 2nd in their choice!

Baja Wes ·

for those that are interested, my stereo consists of a sony xplode 12" sub, 6x9"s, 6.5" fronts, a rockford fosgate amp and a CD tuner xplode head unit. With custom speaker pods and sub box.

Baja Wes ·

couple of country buggies and a muddy baja in the backgound!

Baja Wes ·

I thought this splitty kombi should've taken the best interior trophy, it was ultra clean.

Baja Wes ·

black square looked cool

BettyBoop ·

Heya Baja Wes...

I was at the goldy show today and wish you a CONGRATULATIONS on winning your runners up in the sound system trophy section...:thumb😀:o😀

Don't think you will escape when I have the camera :P
Bettyboop, sorry I didn't get to say G'day. I met most people, but not all. 🙁 Maybe next time.
Was a great day, and CONGRATS to the GC VW club for another well run event.

I think it's pretty quiet show wise until Dubs in Feb.

Hi all,

This is just a quick thanks from the organisers to everyone who came along to the show. Thanks also to everyone who is posting images here as well (I was too busy organising to get out and have a look around 🙁 so this is my chance to see what we did!). It also shows those who didn't come what they missed! Perhaps next year....

I have also posted a few questions, asking for your feedback under this thread.

http://www.aussieveedubbers.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=14549&page=4

If you have the time, could you please have a read and voice you opinion? We are trying as hard as we can to make this show even bigger and better next year - and we need your help!

Thanks again

R

PS: sorry about the line at the gate - it was probably a mixture of a giant convoy arriving all at one time and me having a chat to everyone as they came through the gate - we will be working on this for next year. Oh, yeah - check out Channel 9 news on the TV over the next day or so. They were there with their cameras and we are told it will be shown soon. (You could be famous!!😀 )

KOM123 ·

Hi Andy,

In regard to the sweet green camper, do you have any idea where is got the rollout awning from?

Cheers 🙂

Andy ·

Actually I was very interested in it as it's the set-up I want. I have been looking at a nicely made imported one for caravans/campers. that also feature side skirts to give a nice outside room, but ~$1500!!!
What this guy has is an awning (for a house) from this mob http://www.thewarehouse.com.au/
that comes with a plastic material ~$200. He then took it to a canvaser to replace the plastic with canvas and also make clip on sid skirts. Gives the same result, but all under $400!!!
It winds out and is self supporting. Use the legs if it's windy or rainy.
Andy:thumb

robnjo ·

those people who get GC9NEWS did you see the VW SHOW on there?

hey DoNkEy with the clip I down loaded it but all that works is sound no movie...tried 3 times is it my server or what🙁

KDFking ·

just wanted to say i had a great time and it was a pleasure meeting alot of excellent people on this forum for the first time.I cant wait till next year!!!!

DoNkEy ·

the video is a wmv...or a windows movie file..i used it because i thought that most people would have it ..but if u open it in windows media player it should ask.. or at least try to download a new codec for itself...if not look for a codec on google..and if that dont work i will upload a video in a different codec..

I gotta ask..how big would people be willing to download???..then i can actually make it look good

Baja Wes ·

the video worked for me, windows media player opened, automatically downloaded a new codec and then played it fine. I liked it! I even got to see my engine 🙂

I'll probably download as big as you can make. :thumb (sweet work internet connection)

ByronBug ·

:sandrine Hi Robynne

Hi all,

Thanks everyone for posting your pics here, it is great to be able to see it all again! Well done to all the participants of the day and congradulations to everyone who took home a trohpy on the day - I am still waiting for a list of the trophy winners to be sent to me. Once I recieve it I will put a list of the winners names and cars up here....

I put a question up in another thread regarding what people thought of the day, and so far the responses have been positive. If you would like to have your say, just go to the original post regarding the show. We (the organisers) would appreciate your input.

Again, from the organisers and from the Gold Coast Dub Club, thanks to everyone who took part. See you there again next year?

Great pics of another unreal gathering of VW's.During November we have also had the gathering in Melbourne and our show in Adelaide,and the trip to Tassie,it is fantastic that so many people put in so many hours to keep all these VW cars not only on the road-but of a standard that I believe could hold their own anywhere in the world.I buy VW mags from USA and UK and don't see anything that's better than what we do.From our show in Adelaide and the one in Melbourne,it would appear there are heaps more cars that don't even take part in the show,or belong to other clubs,so imagine if they all turned up to take part on the day-VW HEAVEN.Any way, I have had a fantastic November scanning thru' all the pics posted from all the gatherings and would like to thank all the people who have taken the time to post pics for our pleasure-again a great job and many thanks

ratty 63 ·

any pics from these shows you speak of? Would love to see what everyone else gets up to - might even convince me to get one of my cars finished and make the treck to see it first hand (actually, wouldn't take much to convince me!:P )
