Well today saw a rather nice turnout for Berry Blast from the past... and of course, being one for eye-candy, I just had to take pics... so here they is folks... anyone else feel free to put up more pics. 🙂
Heres the first 3 splitters to arrive... the devon camper on the right with IRS rear end and a 1600 took out the Peoples Choice trophy for the day...
And here are the first bunch of bays to enter the pub carpark... 2 micro's, 2 twincabs (the two end ones), and my yellow camper
Nice lineup of bugs... not sure about the sparkly paint on the silver and maroon one... but each to his own 🙂
more nicely kept bugs... very nice oval indeed!
Can't remember the exact specs.... but Im pretty sure this KG's engine isnt stock... 😂
Nice yellow Karmann cabrio.... tis yellower than my bus! :bounce
Only one word to describe this Ghia.... WOW!!! it's good enought to eat! 👍
Some more rather nicely presented bugs... I never realised I liked bugs so much! 😀
Mr Becker ushering in another very nicely restored bay bus... low and slow is the way to go! 👍
A bagbug... :bounce
Pod and Co. making an appearance in Fred the aircooled fudge-bus! 🙂
And what have we here?... a small group of youg dubbers and there rides... oh and Paul! :P... Buttercup, Columbus, Fred and Karina's as yet unnamed fasty make a nice backdrop for Fish, Paul, Karina, and Schmeaux himself... and a likely dubber-to-be Phil... 👍
OH WHAT A FEELING!!! :P 😂
A nice relaxed dub-filled day... and finally got to meet quite a few members in person today... which was nice too!... congrads Dave, lee and all others who went to the effort to put together a great day for all! 👍 :bounce

Big thanks to all those who made the effort to come down, especially the cars that came down from Newcastle, Ian, Rose, and there was another? hope you had a good day.
The quallity of the cars was amazing. especially that Devon, which won car of the day.
This will be the last Blast from the Past at this location, the pub has been sold and the block will be turned into shops soon, so we will need a new place to have it next year.

Pub... sold???? :cry
It's an ICON!!! DAMMIT NOOOOOO!!!! 🙁
Hey Dave, just a thought... howsabout the berry showground as an alternative location?... cos Berry is a lovely place to have a veedub show... nice relaxed atmosphere, pleasing to the eye, and full of hippies! 😂
or Perhaps Whitesands Park in Huskisson? 🙂
Rose... your oval is the hotness! 👍

[img]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b366/ci had a great day, can someone photochop a six pack onto my protruding gut??
good to meet schmeaux and the gang, share a beer with amazer and chat to all the rest. the ash bucket made an appearance and we made quite a good amount to add to the contributions.
thankyou to all who came and made my day great, especially those who contributed to the ash bucket. also a big up to the DSK boys, who let me cruise down to the show with them this year. it truly was a blast!
great pics wish i could have gone "bloody work"
show us your gates
Well done to Dave and the guys for another great effort this year.
It's a real shame the pub has sold, like others have said it's an icon for the area. But I know for a fact the yuppies locals hate the place with a passion and Danny (the owner) is more than happy to tell you this. I'm sure Danny and his family got a dam good price.
I'm guessing the show will be at the Berry or Nowra show ground in years to come.
Again well done guys.

and this is what fish and schmeaux got up to down at the markets ,trying to be a gravel artists

https://www.facebook.com/FlatFour"last blast from the past" the flag is at half mast, find new venue fast...???
Moving all the crap out of that pub will take months. I want the bull over the bar. Hmm actually I think I wouldnt mind the bar. If it all goes to auction, let me know.
The Ash fund now has enough money for 1st class return trip now. Make sure you hand over every cent Fish.
My daughter had a crap day. She bought some polished stones and glass beads, then left them behind after the street performer juggler guy. Then after looking at the rest of the markets we watched the juggler again as we missed first half earlier. She was given $5 for her help in the last trick. Went and bought another stone. Got home and dropped it, and it shattered everywhere.
:cry
Don't forgrt to get the engine lid from the Bar guys. I'm sure danny wouldn't have a problem parting with it given Dave and myself put it together.
Hahaha! Fish and Schmo's artwork was awesome. Until people tramped all over it 😠 ...
Besides, we took over some poor guy's stall lol.
