First up I enter show and shines because it supports the club running the show and we get to gasbag with people we don't get to see all that often.
Plus I think that most shows we have been to lately eg: Klub VW fest-- Dubs by the Pub--Gold coast Vee Dub show ; are peoples choice so I don't think it matters what class you are in people will vote for what they like.
one more thing you get to park closer to where you are sitting but I am lazy :-)
Of course these are my thoughts and they only mean something to me.

I was not knocking the show organisers or the judges. The point I was trying to convey was that there has been quite a few sunroof clips (not accessory) added to cars that are high grade restorations but no consideration is given to the unfair (I think) presentation that this gives a person over a standard VW no matter how good the resto. I would not like to see the day that 2 high quaility sunroof VW were judged and the psuedo bug won. Originality must score some points.
I think it is a good idea to encourage newbies and get them out of the car park. show organises might like to consider "newbie" or encouragement awards for them and some general awards like "car I would most like to drive home in" "too cool for fools" "how did this get in here" & entrants choice. please do not crucify me, it makes it hard to eat M&M's :P

"car i think will most likely be towed home"
....that way, mine can win at least one....:P

The answer to this to bulid a better car than the one that wins each year, if we used your idea the standard wouldnt keep lifting each year. I said this to a club member a few years ago, this year they won their class.SPRINTSTAR wrote:By the way..what is it with people bringing the same car year after year...the result's become so boring and predictable, give the newbies a chance!
The car park cars, this is a problem we have tried to address, we have even had club members standing in the carpark grabbing the drivers of good cars trying to convince them to enter, most dont want to tie up the whole day or feel that the car is not clean enough etc.

To all those who park in the carpark instead of entering their cars in the show. At Klub Fest this year ALL cars are welcome to come on in and park with the other Beetles, Kombi's etc, even if you do not wish to enter the Show and Shine.
We would much prefer to have as many cars as possible at the show for everyone to admire, than to have people who have great cars parked out in the car park. We also found last year that lots of 'non VW Club' people parked their cars out on the road as they didn't know what to expect.
Come on in and have some fun - it is Peoples Choice voting.

I help run a Chapter of Klub VW in Brisbane and Bayside (Redland Shire).
Until last year 2004 I had not been involved with running or organising an event such as a show. I have helped with small cruises and runs.
I would have to say that now that I have experienced my first show (2004) and this years (2005) Klub Fest a lot of time and effort goes into these events behind the scenes. We have a great group of people that help and we try and make things are equal and fair as possible due to the variety of people that attend these types of shows. When you line up to go through the gates we give you the list of what sections are up for grabs so that you can select which one YOU WANT TO GO INTO. When you get to the gate to pay you have had some time to select which section that is best suited for your VW.
Last year and this year we had 17 Categories up for grabs as well as Club Choice making 18 Trophies. We have even split the watercooled section. Sedan's are seperate from the Van/People mover as if you have both in one section... 9 times out of 10 a Sedan / Hatch / Wagon will win over a van / people mover.
Our show is PUBLIC Choice. Sure some people will vote for whats shiny and lots of bling bling and you also get some people that vote for the plain and original VW.
Just on another note, we have done the final count and we had 212 VW's in the park. Sure was a nice sight standing up at the front gates and looking down.
I can honestly say it was the biggest SWAP / TRADE Sites section I have ever seen at a VW Show. We had 28 Sites Registered.
As KLUB FEST was advertised in the Brisbane / Bayside papers as well as in the Motoring Section of the Courier Mail 14/05/05 I have had phone calls from other clubs offering to do a joint cruise / run and sometimes this subject comes and I have found no matter what type of vehicle that you are into or what type of craft or aeroplaine models or even the little remote controlled cars and boats.... you will always have a question about what section you fall into and always people will be quick to say something either good or bad.
The main thing is you get to catch up with friend and people that you can exchange ideas with and just to get out of the house.

What happens when dudes start putting these Creative corner window and roof pressings into 50`s-60`s kombis, do we start calling them 23`s or converted kombi`s..in my book the bus will be more valuble (for future) kept as an original kombi rather than chopped to a 23..still if I had an Oval hardtop with a spare Golde section..i would be very tempeted.....keep the busses original..
I have an original Raleigh chopper...alll these repros and NEW! choppers do is cheapen the original.takes the eliment of uniqueness out of the thing.
