What a great weekend!

Got to meet redbus who made a big effort and drove all the way from Melbourne and I don't think he was at all disappointed. Thanks to Ray for the 20 kg of Prawns. Went well with those beers. Hey Dave we drank beer and ate prawns for three afternoons without ya!

Great weekend away with great people, just talking volkswagens and having fun. And didn't have to spend my whole weekend forking out money! Can't wait for next time.

Thanks Ray & Rhyms & Sawtell!

Hi

The person on Franks lap is a forum member, I wonder if she will say who she is? Frank for those who dont know is a swap meet tragic, this is one of his bugs.




I would like to thank all the people who attended, we were a small, but very happy and friendly lot, who now can say they were at the 1st Sawtell, it was good to put faces to Aussie Veedubbers in fact without this forum it would have been hard to let people know about it, also thanks to Ray & Rhys the locals who did all the hard work and Club Veedub for underwriting the event. Looks like it will be on again in 2007, we will sort out dates soon so it doesnt clash with other events.

A lot people at the Winter Break have booked their accommodation at the Sawtell site for next years Valla show, its only 1/2 hour up the road, the rooms are great and most even have car ports with ocean views.

I am the person game enough to sit on Franks lap, he's pretty harmless. And he must have heaps of money from selling all that swap meet stuff.:bounce:bounce

I picked the wrong place to eat, the best way to lose weight fast have a dodgy chinese.
I thought maybe JD would counteract it but alas not the case.
Very nice beetle by the way

Hi Deon

Glad you liked the photos. Were you camping down the coast as well, would have been interesting. The Chinese at the bowlo was OK, but the sweet and sour chicken looked radioactive.
