Hi all, Nathan and i would like to thank all who came out and enjoyed the 5th VW Jamboree. The weather was perfect and the scene was just right for 100 cars to display for all to see.
It was great to see alot of new faces as well as the die hards who make it time and time again. I have uploaded photos in the gallery section and you can find them at this link http://picspot4u.biz/gallery/VW-Cruisers-Jamboree-2005
Let us know your thoughts of the day and if you have phot's of your own upload them to this folder and show the rest of Australia what the Mexicans can do 馃槈
Thanks again to all who helped out on the day ..... Jim, Nick, Dean and the our wives who put up with our shit for so long................. Now we start to plan the 2006 VW Jamboree!!!
Cheers
Stealth and Bug Boy

Gotta hand it to you guys, you put on a real friendly relaxed day. Had a great time. That location was spot on.
That is Paul King's Jim. Don't think he's on here.
Did anyone get a pic of the Splitty Double Cab that left early? The Chestnut/Sealing Wax Red number?
Thanks Stealthy and Nathan and all who contributed.

Got any more pics of that car Jim?
Brad 路
Pictures are uploading as I type. Being dial up should only take an hour or so.
Your wish is my command. He has spent heaps of time on it recently.. mainly box/ rear suspension related. Now tubbed and running slicks.

Cam 路
Yeah, it looks good. Bummed I forgot my camera, if you have anymore could you e-mail them to me? Want to show a mate of mine.
BenettonVW 路
Mine are crap, as demonstrated nicely above. Pics, for some reason, at this show were low priority.. dunno why, but anyway..
Stealth 路
Anymore pics Brad?? there are only 4 up. Nice to meet you finally and i hope you had a good time while in Melbourne.
Boostn 路
Thanks to everyone who showed up making it a great day.
Here is some specs
Johns stylin bug, 2110 t3 efi @14psi
E.T. 12.35@107.40 to date. After 5 years of cruising and racing, John wanted more power so Vollkommen Art rebuilt the engine modifying it along the way.
My black and blue 67, 2233 t66 efi @18psi
not yet finished or raced but has made 280kw on 18 psi(375hp)
Tubbed and raised engine and gearbox with sway a way axles and spring plates. MSE verticle gate shifter, CNC stage brake and B&M line lock.
These mods hade to be made to what was a genuine street car after a few trips to the dragstrip, realising that the car did not want to drive straight with that much power.
More pics soon.
Stealth 路
Welcome to the forum Nick. Nice to have you on board, can't wait to see your car on the strip giving it stick to the V8 boys!
Boostn 路
Thanks Shirls, I know it's taken me ages but I do spend a lot of time on my car, It's a sad life!
BenettonVW 路
Hey Nick, good to see you here mate.
killakornkobb 路
hey nick i heard from a mate at work Paris is making a chassis car with the running gear of the stylin bug.. able to divulge (sp?) any details?
Boostn 路
No not true, but he is planning to build a light early bug seeing as his thing is a tank.
