Sorry but I only managed to take a few. Here is 57chooksheds beetle with a 6 inch narrowed beam, no shock towers and modified headlight bowls.
It won best rat.

I forgot to mention all the lowering work was done in a weekend.
I think he might be taking orders??????

Cheers

Well done mate very deserved, obviously the trim won it for you!!
Wheres the pic of the trailer ??

57kombi ·

There were some really nice cars there including 3 other splits, that must be a record for the most splits in one place in S.A. (4), there was a NSW red and white panel with the reg number , LOW 67B, just bought by a south aussie.

The trophy was for best type 2 upto 78, weird including splits with bays, but hey I won so I dont care.

The real shame is that some of the nice cars are only ever seen at the 2 shows we have here, the rest of the time they stay in the sheds.

I think it was the trim Roy.

Cheers
Dave

ClassicVW(pacific) ·

Looks a good turn out mate,
Where did you get the trim from??

57 Chook Shed ·

Here`s one of mine and Pauls!!!

57 Chook Shed ·

And another one of mine.
RAT TROPHY TRAP!!

57kombi ·

It was great as quite a few people came and told me about the splits that they were doing up.
The more on the road the better.

And I think you will be getting quite a few calls soon Roy, as they all wanted to know where to get the stuff from.

I should talk to you about commission.
Only joking, I am happy to help them and you.

Cheers
Dave

57 Chook Shed ·

Trying on Dave "The Surfer"`s board!!!

57 Chook Shed ·

Spot the Trophy!!!

57 Chook Shed ·

Ahhhh, the glory!!

57 Chook Shed ·

Found this in the hard rubbish outside someone`s house on the way home from the show!!
2 trophy`s in one day!!!

57 Chook Shed ·

Staycool!!!!

57kombi ·

I must also say it was a really well run show, better attended than the other show in November, It might have been due to the good weather, I am not sure.
It was a great day and well organised, I did notice that there were a lot of spectators which was good and the club had been advertising it in the paper, good info for the other club.

Shame we only have the 2 shows.

Cheers
Dave

Green T4 ·

I thought you could have posted a pic of the Green T4 Dave....

57kombi ·

Sorry Maris.
I went over looking for you a few times, to intro myself but couldnt see anyone.

Also I only took the pics I have posted, forgot I had the camera until I was ready to leave.
Could you let me know what runs your club has organised in the future and would I be able to tag along.

Cheers
Dave

57kombi ·

The one I regret not taking a pic of is Heaths early squareback.
It is really nice. And it also won a trophy, (well deserved)
The only VW I would have if I didnt have my bus.

Cheers
Dave

Green T4 ·

Sorry I missed you, as I was looking forward to meeting the "Phantom".

I'll keep you up to date with our events.

Thanks for your very kind words . We had a few hic-cups during the day....but we are very happy with 72 entries!!

We sold out of the Fridge magnet, and gave out all of the magazines. A very successful day (finacially I hope too, I'll have to wait for the Treasure's report).

while we can attract this amount of entries, and not run at a loss, we will continue to run this show.

PS..Look forward to the Bug-In in SA in Easter 2006, in Murray Bridge. Friday night welcome, Saturday morning car show incl. chicken & champane lunch, Monato Zoo tour followed by a River Cruise/Tea. Sunday Motorkhana & Khanacross??, or a winery/Murray Mouth cruise for non Motorsport people. Presentation dinner Sunday night.

Subject to change @ very short notice.

Green T4 ·

Read my article in the magazine on "claying", you may win car of the show. LOL

57kombi ·

Looked at that today.
Might give it a go.
I havent polished mine yet.
Just need the couple of spare days???

Cheers
Dave

Geez that squareback looks good!
Can everyone please email or send me photos for the magazine, I took my camera and b4 i left swapped memory cards but didn't realize that I needed all the photos on the card I put in the camera and hadn't downloaded them yet. I have nil photos. Does anyone want to write a small article about the show for the next mag?
Thanks, Heath.

The show was a good day, the sun came out lots of really interested people not just walkers and plenty of cars. It would be a bit daunting if you wanted to win prizes with an oval as there was 3 really sweet original beetles there. Lucky my 54 will be in modified class!
Congrats to all winners. T54

57kombi ·

Sorry mate all the pics I took are up here.

Reg, LOW 067B.

Cheers

57kombi ·

I was smiling as all the other members of the club were shouting and having a go at me because I said I wouldnt enter it in a show.

Was my first and last so no need to worry.
Just going to abuse it now as I have before the show.
I didnt even polish it, just hosed it down,
Its a user not a show queen.

DRIVEN NOT HIDDEN

Cheers
Dave
