we should organise some times and places so we can all meet eachother face to face.....
this'll be my first nats, so i havn't got a clue where good places would be to meet, but i'm sure you lot must have some good suggestions....
then all we need to sort is times for the gatherings, i think we should do more than one, then if some people miss the first one they could still make the second one.
anyway, over to you lot for suggestions.

I'm a Nats Virgin and apart from cruising over with someone it would also be good to have a general meet point or something but how would you know me if i walked past you!

Kai.A. 路
that's why we need a time and place, just turn up to the place at the time and start introducing yourself....
i've seen this work with great success in the u.k with members of the volkszone forum, at some shows they actually got moved on because the gathering was so large it was blocking access to parts of the show.....
i'm not expecting that, but i would like to meet the people i talk to on here, put faces to the names (usernames).....

ratty 63 路
This will be my first Nats (I have been promising myself that I would make it to the Nats for years - finally going to make it!)
I would love to meet up with fellow forum members and put names to faces etc... I have no idea what time or where the meet should take place so I will leave this to those who have been there and done that before!
I should be fairly easy to spot - I'll be wandering around wearing my club shirt (Gold Coast Dub Club).
Can't wait!

Well good to catch up with everyone today , funny how you think people may look like by their posts and what a bunch of freaks we are! No seriously so many different folk drive dubs and thats the best bit about it! Anyone watch Jerry Springer?馃檪馃檪馃檪

slamed_vw 路
hey everyone i was at the nationals but unfortunatly i didnt have a password for aussie vee dubers so i wasnt a member technicaly so therefore i didnt know about your arangements for your meet up. I did on the other hand see some of the cars yous have described to me and they r all nice. i do have a suggestion though, i am 16 years of age and am restoring a 68 beetle, im sure there are many other young blokes out there like my self, P platers or whatever that are in the same boat me so i was wondering if it would be possible to run an event for the younger generations vws ?
cheers daniel.
Peter Leonard 路
I ran into a few ppl at the drags, but sadly missed the show due to money earning. hope it was good, I'm just going to head off to the club vw website to check what i missed 馃榾 didn't notice a particular AVD contingent at the drags. Feelin a bit sorry for Steve and his friend Mr Quaife.馃檨

...finally found the time to have a wander around the forum...first time since getting home from the Nationals....
It was great to meet you all - I have been to meetings like this in Queensland in the past - it's great to be able to put faces to names. Great to meet you all.... and the show - well, that was just great. I'll see you all next year (but I will be driving to Sydney rather than flying next time - much more fun!
