Since Christmas last year I have been very busy and not found any time to log on to the www.aussieveedubbers.com
But I am back now and I would like to organise a VW meet sometime. I am from the Northern Beaches and it would be cool if we could start maybe in Dee Why and then drive to Palm beach?
Last year I tried to organise a meeting like this before christmas, but everybody was busy and I ended up .....doing nothing 馃檨
Who would be interested to come on Saturday 21 February? Or would Saturday 14 Feb. be better? klienclaudia@hotmail.com
Hope to finally meet some VW owners and perve on some nice cars! 馃榾

It seems that it is never the right time to have a meeting. There is always something else on馃檨. I wish I could go to Newcastle to the VW show, but I do not trust my VW Beetle that much.
I forgot about Valentines day, you go and spoil your fiancee Craig! (my blinkers are still not working:repuke).
KOM123, I cannot on Sat. the 21st of, because I just got tickets for the David Bowie concert...finally get to see the guy with the two different eye colours! 馃槑
I will think of another day to meet....maybe 2 years in advance? Just kidding. Am sure I can meet some of you guys sometime.
ciao,
Claudia

I have seen Bowie before to and you should have a great time 馃檪 You could always have a morning cruise finishing at or just before lunch and squeeze two events in on one day 馃檪
Dannyboy 路
i wouldn't mind a cruise up to the coast to watch the waves sometime , Sundays are better as i'm working most Saturdays. Nice place to chill out for an hour or two and catch up with a few more dubs. Can we come play?

Im up for a cruise! Dee Why and then drive to Palm beach sounds like fun. Im free any time on weekends but not the 14th 15th as im goin to get my moto Ls :P
Alex.
Kai.A. 路
i'm good for just about any weekend too.
we just need to find one day when a few people are available, once we've had the first cruise i'm sure we could make it a regular thing 馃榾
are we still thinking of stopping off at the newport arms?

Sunday 15th in the morning is good for me. We only need 4 or 5 (or less) to have fun. And beer at Newport Arms...
Claudia 路
:bounce Cool, looks like some people are interested! Here the details:
We meet on Sun 22 Feb at 11am at the parking area at Long Reef
(up the little hill, just where you park the car if you want to go for a walk out to the lookout)
I totally agree, it is ok if we are only 4 or 5 cars. We can drive to Palm Beach, have a look at the waves there and a take away coffee....and then we can go to New Port Arms for some beers or food.
Who will be able to join?
Regards,
Claudia
(Collaroy Plateau, white VW Beetle 1966)
PS: Send me an email anytime to klienclaudia@hotmail.com
I will of course check this webpage as often as I can too.
Oasis 路
I'm there, 11 am on Sunday the 22nd at Long Reef...
P.s. what road is it on? (Easier to find in a street directory).
Dannyboy 路
Sunday , 11am , done! I'll be there , count me and my 67 bug in if thats okay.
Danny
Kai.A. 路
we're up to 4 already then 馃槑

p.s. yeh, a street name would be cool....
KOM123 路
Should be ok, will confirm tomorrow 馃檪

We've got something on in the arvo so can go for a short while anyway 馃檪 Will bring the wife and kids for a beachside lunch me thinks (or wherever we end up) 馃檪

I thought the kids would have liked the pub Scott!

May have another bug with me , mate from work , nice 63 cal.

:bounce Here are some more details (street) for the people who were asking.
We meet on Sunday 22 Feb at 11 am at Collaroy Basin Carpark at Long Reef, just near the Long Reef Golf Course Club house.
Any further questions? :puke
See you there.
Claudia
waltermitty 路
This carpark (as with most on the beaches ) requires a ticket but if you are staying with your car (as you will) then dont worry about buying one , just as long as you dont leave it then the rangers are OK (and infrequent).

Considering I had my first shandy at age four, Amy is just the right to start out! :beer
waltermitty 路
Hey Claudia perhaps the cruise should end at the Newport Arms? It now boasts the biggest beer garden in Australia not to mention one of the best locations.It also is very kiddy friendly for those with littleuns.Mitchell
Kai.A. 路
i've already suggested that... but my thinking is, we're cruising up to palm beach, ya can't go any further than that in a car, so we will have to drive back past the newy (ish)..... and who's gonna drive past without stopping for a bit:bounce
kai
Claudia 路
That is right Kai. It is already planned anyway to have a stop at New Port Arms after the trip from Long Reef to Palm beach.
My VW Beetle has a little problem at the moment. I think I need a new clutch! 馃檨
I really hope I will find a repair place that can fix it until next weekend! Oterwise I have to get a ride with one of you guys, because I do not want to miss out on my first VW meet.
Claudia:bounce
Oasis 路
If you can't get it fixed, just show up at the car park and get in one of our cars.. no worries. It would be a shame to organise this and not be able to go.
waltermitty 路
Hey everyone this weekend dont forget.
Mitty
Claudia 路
Hi there!
Just wanted to remind you guys again of the VW Meet.
See you at Long Reef on Sun 22 Feb, at 11 am.
See you all there,
Claudia
PS: My VW is fixed again, it was not the clutch that needed to be replaced. It was the clutch cable...still, another $ 470,-- ..it never ends with the repairing!
waltermitty 路
$470 for a clutch cable is very rich. was that all you had done?
See you Sunday.Mitchell
KOM123 路
See you Sunday too!
*mental note* lotsa suncream on the kids!
Oasis 路
See you tomorrow! It'll be good to meet you all.
KOM123 路
Well the meet went ahead as planned and it was great to meet some peeps from the forum.
To quote Waltermitty from another post and save me re-typing, lazy bugger that I am:

We didn't make it to the Arms either as the little one needed to go home for a sleep but the others went and are quite possibly still there 馃檪
Nice rides, be good to put names and forum names to Dubs again as I have a memory problem :o
Thanks Claudia for organising and for all who attended to making it a great morning. Will have to plan another with a picnic lunch somewhere maybe?
Cheers...Scott

Had a great time today. Nice to meet you all, and thanks to Claudia for organising it. Let's do it again soon, Bill
Claudia 路
To all the people who were at the VW Meet "Long Reef". Thank you all for turning up. It was great to meet you guys!
My friend Tuncay, who came along with me, took some picutres. Hopefully he sends them to me soon and I will try to put them into the forum....馃檨 I better figure out "HOW". I could not put a picture of my VW into my profile yet (but not my fault, the computer at home was stuffed for months...viruses!).
Am leaving for Tasmania next Monday for a week, but aftr that I am ready for a picnick with all the cool VW drivers and their georgeous cars!!!
