fresh chrome & paint - sunnies advised
as you can see the weather was very ordinary and we had a cool sea breeze roll in later and had to put up with torrential sunshine all day. 😀

Nice to meet you too

Hi all,
Hope you all enjoyed the day! Apart from the sunburn I thought it was good (but I would, because I helped organise it!).
Fantastic turn out of vehicles this year with over 140 cars given registeration stickers at the front gate (and a few more not given stickers, but in the swap area). Unfortunatly a number of vehicles owners didn't bother to register their cars with us...some of these same people could have taken home a trophy but as we didn't know who owned the car they were scratched from the race...sad really 🙁
Some big changes from last year - a massive increase in numbers from the type III crowd...almost overflowed the area we had set aside!
Also, the off-road vehicles - must have been twice as many Bajas and Buggies this year as there were last year.
For the last three years we have not had a runner up in the Karmann Ghia catagory as there has only been one car entered, this year there was 6 (or was that 7?) KG's entered - fantastic to see!
Where have all the Kombis gone? We had a massive turn-out of Kombis last year (particularly split screen Kombis), this year about half as many...:duh:
Many of the familiar faces were missing this year...don't get me wrong, I love to see new people coming into our hobby, but I missed catching up with a few of the 'oldies'
Anyway, these were just my observatons from the day, generally I thought that both the quality and quantity of vehicles this year was awsome.
Thanks to everyone that came along today, and congrats to those who either took home a trophy or won a prize in the raffle (I didn't win either 🙁 ). As for the Green Ticket Man..... 😀
I would love to hear your thoughts, good or bad about the show - this will help us to make it even better next year.... over to you!

Why don't we put these pics up in the Gallery section of the forum? Quicker, easier and better quality pics...

Founding member of the Gold Coast Dub Club Inc. 🙂Hi Guys,
Well I guess I was the green ticket man?!? not much I could do, as they say it's the luck of the draw!!!:P Thanks for the support guys, I too had a great day.
P.S Check out our club website that Ross has very kindly and quickly updated with all the show details, even if you weren't there after you read the story it will feel like you were.

It was a great day for me to finally join in and meet the people from this forum. It was nice to see you all!!!
I bet not many people remember my name or my delux microbus, but those who noticed my Japanese single tooth wooden footware (called "GE-TA"), surely you all remember me being there. (^^)/
Last year to the Show I drove our Land Cruiser but this year after all those years of searching (since I migrated here in 1994!) I finally got my own bus and drove it to the Show. It was ecstatic.
I'll be around next year, too, with my bus of course. :bounce:bounce
Hey I just wanna know how ya drive in those things?

hey Bungawatta, those were very kool thongs mate, but which was your bus?
:sandrine
Hey Bungawatta...very nice to meet you at the show.
Your shoes were the topic of conversation there all day.
Must be in the balance as I can't see myself wearing them
I would fall.
Was very nice to see you came, you will have to wear those shoes at the next VW event so we could all recogize you again....
Thanks for making the effort to meet some of us.
Happy VW-ing

Bungawatta and Lam, it was nice meeting you both.
Alex, your dog is gorgeous and I can understand her falling asleep on the way home as I wanted to do the same thing.
Hopefully you will be able to come to a few more events that are organized locally. Keep an eye out in the Club Chat section or think of coming to the Drive In night that is advertised in this section and meet more of us.

If you can't laugh at yourself you can't laugh at anyone else! Because life is to short not to LAUGH
yeah it was great meeting you all! I met so many people I have already forgotten some names 🙁
was great to finally be part of a aircooled gang, thanks for being so welcoming!
speeding is bad!
relax - god's in charge

& thanks to you too Lams, for coming to the day.
Hope we see you at the Drive in on the 27th.
