Hi
Ive lost count, 1988 was my 1st. My son attended his 1st in 1991, he was born 2 months later. Hes now 14 and coming to his second Valla.

blutopless2 ·
this year will be my second time
MickH ·
Never been...might one day...🥲
VWCOOL ·
fourth or fifth - not sure...
amazeer ·
I dont know how many I have been to because they were every year, then went to every 2 years, then had the out of whack anniversary year.... Ive been to them all since either 88 or 89, not sure which. Probably been to as many without a VW as I have in a VW. Historically July seems to be the month where I destroy things. This year is different... I just dont have one at the moment 🙂
HerbieBoy82 ·
I've been going since '94 or '95. Can't remember which. But will vow never to miss one because it is by far the best VW gathering I've ever been to (haven't made it the nationals but will try to next year) and the whole atmosphere is just amazing. My girlfriend is so into it aswell, and is counting down now. This year will be her 3rd Valla.
Will the next 3 weeks hurry up?
:bounce
bugeyedbabe ·

Like Daimo, I've been to every one.
The first one was held out at the Raleigh Raceway, before it was the great venue it is now. The track was a dirt track, and the layout was vastly different to the modern layout. Chris Piggott hasn't changed much though.
How about these old shots
[ Edited on 14-7-2006 by 56astro ]
hellbugged ·
nice ones Steve, i think everyone is in the country buggy except me.
i had a ride in seabug tho 😎
squizy ·
Great shots Steve. That Carrera in the background belong to a Qld guy...Brett someone I think. He and I did two reports and took some shots that got combined into a single report on Valla in Hot VW's in about 1988. Personally been to about 6 or so since 1986. Best memory is of Birchall's first ever performance. PMSL for the rest of the night.
bugeyedbabe ·
now that sea bug looks kewl....
robo...come...be a valla virgin like me
but if they come looking for a virgin to sacrific...ur on ur own man!
I have kids depending on my pay checks to use for the mobiles, not to mention take ways
mscabrio ·
I went to Valla 2004 and my car got absolutely shit canned as it has a radiator. But guess what to all you disbelievers, I'm still around, I'm going again and yes I am taking the cabrio, only this time it is LOWER and has BIGGER and SHININER chrome wheels, so now not only it is it a fake VW it is a ricer at that ........ hehehehehe...... Its going to be a great weekend, I can't wait ...... and just so that I do fit in with the crowd a bit, I will jump into Rod's oval, will give me instant street cred ! :thumb
P.S Hopefully I will have the underbody neons installed before next weekend
speedster356 ·
This will be only my third visit.
Moments that stick in my mind
1st visit, the cruise from the park to the show in the main street in the Speedster....and spitting the oil filter O ring out cuz I gave it a bit too much cold!
2nd visit, seeing Dave Birchall set his undies on fire with a 12 volt battery after drinking too much.(strange but true) :beer
Wow, can't wait for visit 3............
Dasdubber ·
I think this is my sixth valla - couple with my old man, couple with my brother, couple with my missus...I think this pic was from last time. :thumb
hypo-vw ·
first one in 1986 . have only missed 2 over the years . Looking forward to a great weekend again !!
Grey 57 ·
This will be my 3rd Valla. First one drove up in the Oval, last one trailered up Bug Boys Oval, this year driving a VW up again in the Type 34. Cant wait. This is a pic from the parade line up in 2003 I think
Thats my old Grey Oval second from the front behind the blue street buggy.
