Newcastle to Melbourne Roadtrip/DOVW pics (finally)

VWFOOL · 2005-12-02T23:29:49+00:00

Finally got home last night after a week away, time to get some pics up. Well it all began earlier this year when Adam C and I decided we needed to get down to Melbourne for Jamboree. Unfortunately we couldnt get our shit together in time so we saw DOVW as our second chance. We initially intended on taking a normal car with a VW in tow, but as the day drew near we decided to drive both our slammed bugs on the 2000km round trip. Were we asking for trouble? I left Newcastle thursday morning and from the start i was doomed. Id just picked up my Happy Meal at the F3 twin servos drive thru and as i pulled out of the driveway a hwy patrol car came racing up behind me, lights flashing. I pulled over and as soon as i got out he was screaming at me. I managed to sweet talk my way out of getting the car towed and impounded for being 'dangerously' too low. wat a great start to the trip! 5 minutes down the road i was pulled over again at tuggerah by an undercover hwy patrol, but luckily it was a random breath test. because of a few hiccups the trip to sydney took me over 3 hours! i stopped off at my girls place in randwick on my way to adams, and wen i left i forgot my wallet inside. i had to wait in the car for 4 hours before she got home from work to let me in. not happy. so now its after 9pm when i leave for the 1 hour trip to adams house. well the wetaher decided to make my night worse and i get pelted with rain, not much good in a lowered oval with fucked up toe in on one rear wheel and a lack of wipers. after fishtailing down the hwy and almost losing it completely, i crawl along in the emergency lane and decide to pull over at a truck stop. the rain doesnt stop and i spend the night sleeping in my car. very unhappy. the next day started off much better, got to adams at 530am and get a couple of hourse sleep in a warm bed. the weather cleared by lunch and we fixed my suspension troubles. we loaded up the cars and headed off for melbourne...

Well done guy's, great to see you cruise down for our show. Slammed VW's are always welcome in my back yard :thumb

I think the ol road trip will make a serious come back in 2006 from our perspective. The splitty will make it's debut in NSW soon.

Can't wait for the video.
