Okay, well Valla 2004 is less than 2 months away, so who from the forum will be there?
Don't care what you are driving, but if you are in your VW, maybe list it for ID purposes.. 馃檪
Maybe we could have a meeting time and place for forum members too.. One night a BBQ or something? I dunno.. Ideas?
Most important thing is numbers.. So who is removing their digits and getting there?? Possibly the last one!!

Baja Wes 路
you should've made this post a poll, to see the numbers easily. who is and isn't going.
anyway, I won't be taking a VW. I need to buy furniture for a house I am currently getting built, so am attempting to save money.
I may ride my motorbike down though, but not sure yet.
BenettonVW 路
Jeez.. Only put this on a few hours ago.. Not like the old days is it? 馃檪
Umm, Adam I seem to recall a car like that being around here at some stage.. Be a nice reunion for us..
Maya, we will be staying in a caravan park in downtown Valla apparently. There will be 9 or 10 of us Victorians(Mexicans) invading the place.. Idea being, that we will together basically share the cabin and tent site, facilities and warmth, etc. So if it is central enough, maybe we could do it there somewhere, I dunno..
I thought about that Wes, but I was more interested in the names I would be seeing, as well as pure quantitive info..

Oh, yeah - if you are camping, consider taking a heater (no I'm not joking!), we have taken one the last two times we have been to Valla - makes a big difference (the sites are all powered). Just be carefull with them in/near a tent!.

BenettonVW 路
Okies about the BBQ.. As long as it happens, I don't really care where and so on..
Valla 2004 is a huge VW meeting, possibly the biggest in Oz, and it is held in a little town on the Northern NSW coast, near Nambucca Heads, called Valla. They shutdown the main street, and basically fill it with vee dubs.. Amazing.. Pics someone?
I've never been, so I'm sure that others would be able to tell you more about it... (For those few that don't know).

I will be taking up the cabrio for it's first (and mine !) visit to Valla. It is going into Volkswagen hospital to have a service so that it is running nicely. Off to Kmart to buy some thermal underwear and Rod some pajamas. I think that he would scare the wildlife away if he wore his normal night attire while we are in Valla !
We are VERY excited.....:o
