Here's a few pics from our breakfast run from Hobart cbd to the beach at Blackmans Bay.
It was a great turn out. The weather was good, a little cold in town but by the time we hit the beach it was pretty good for Tas in winter!
It was a good mix of air and water, early and late.

62deluxe ·

We took the shots froma hot air baloon!!
jo_tas ·
Ahh! We have workies!
All of us freezing out bums off waiting to get going!!
More freezing
The breakfast venue..
Aww.. ain't it purdy?
So THAT'S what Safari's were made for! :P
Jeremy's other RC car.. crappy shot.. but not bad seeing how quick it was moving and i didn't even have motion mode turned on on the camera!
62deluxe ·
Well done Jo!!!
I was too busy being a twit to take any good action pics!
ragtopp ·
Good pics guys!!! It makes it real worth while setting up an event when it turns out like this one did. What a day and what a location, each surprise breaky just gets better. Man , gotta rack the brain to think of another spot to top of this one.
If anyone has any ideas then u2u me, dont post it up for all to see, not knowing where we are going is the key to the event.
Scorcher was good to buddy!!:thumb
So much for the kombi mass trip that it was billed, but we had fun with our buses, i had you up that hill to, had to pull on the handbrake not to clean you up, after that i was just cruisin up the hill, you won a one man race!!!
62deluxe ·
Pull the other one baby!!!
I was still in first!🤪
ragtopp ·
Yeh thats right, i had to engage reverse half way up the hill, if that overtaking lane had of come up earlier then you were toast, i had to drop off the pedal to stop running into you. Then i decided the race was over, Not saying the splitty doesnt go mate, heck i have seen the green ticket.
jo_tas ·
Poor little Gwen trying to scrabble away up the hill away from that mean ol' kombi! :P
65busser ·
Nice bunch of cars there folks. The bus looks great Jeremy. Just wish we in Melbourne could score a fine Sunday for a cruise. Don't remember the last one.
62deluxe ·
Well I was actually in first and only using the starter motor to get up that hill!!
ragtopp ·
Mate dont tell bloody lies!!! That battery was flat yesty and wouldnt have run wet paint let alone push a splitty up hill.:P
62deluxe ·
That's how powerful my starter motor is!
It can flog you on only 1.5V!!!!!!!
jo_tas ·
Ha! Touche!
ragtopp ·
Mate dont go getting all electro genius now, we both know!! Thats not a AA you got in the engine bay.
As for you Jo my ute was killing old Gwen up the hills last breaky drive, it was all blue ute in your mirrors!!:thumb
62deluxe ·
Now now kids. We both know we can flog the notchy!!!!!!
I didn't even have to get out the 7.2V from the scorcher to blow off the ute!!🤪
ragtopp ·
Mate your words "blow off" and i think thats what you did when you saw blue bus in your mirror!!! I saw the cloud of black unburnt gas come thundering out of the old split bitch!! It was about time to, the paper boy nearly rode passed you!!:P
jo_tas ·
😠
Leave poor Gwen alone! She's a tired old girl! She may not be the fastest VW... But she still starts every time! :P

ragtopp ·
you got a u2u to old deluxe
ragtopp ·
Come on jo , gwen's not tired, she kicked arse on the water pumper day, big drive for an old notchy!! You just cant match the massive HP of the 1600cc standard single cab uterus!!
jo_tas ·
Oh and did i mention her heaters work damn well! :P
jo_tas ·
Oh i'm being honest, i think she is a bit tired! She sounds very rattly compared to that bug that was there today!
ragtopp ·
hey jo, i bet old deluxe had the sheep skin undies on this morning, no heaters, it was tropical inside cafe de ute aswell
ragtopp ·
Which bug? brines has only done 45000kms from new and about 3000kms since total engine rebuild, compare rattles with rattles mate.
jo_tas ·
Hehe... they may not be as pretty as a Split.. but they're a damn site warmer!!
Went to my mum's after the run today.. She was telling me about back in her hippy days, her sister's boyfriend had a Splitty that they used to go to a weekly jam session.. apparantly they used to cram rediculous amounts of people in this old thing.. and it was drafty as hell!
Mind you, this was in the Snowy Mountains.. my grandad worked on the dams when they were being built... bugs and kombi's were the best thing up there!
62deluxe ·
:vader
Didn't you notice I was actually going the other way! That's how slow you were!!!!:P

Point taken! I still dream of having a hot type 4 motor in the back of Gwen though! :P:thumb
62deluxe ·
I can vouch for the drafty bit!!!
You leave my sheepskin jocks out of this too!!
62deluxe ·

Hi All,
I was very keen on coming on this run to meet you all (Well, the ones I haven't met already), but I had an Expo I had my 55 displayed in. Will be on the next run with one of the Splits for sure. What's next & when??

The weather is starting to warm up. Took the cabrio for a cruise yesterday from home, through Williamstown, over the westgate, through stkilda and the city and managed to do it all with the roof down. (Mind you I was wearing a jacket, beanie, had the seat warmers on and the heater pumping) It was a Sensational feeling !!!! I had forgotten how great the cabrio is! Bring on summer
ragtopp ·
Hey dont worry about the cold, look at our heads in the pics, we live in beanies and big jackets at this time of year, cabrio with the heaters on full would be tops on a clear winters day.
ragtopp ·
Not sure what is up next rob, have to join the club and get a newsletter and calander mate. We will post the next event up on here.
Kristy_xxx ·
Not Happy! I took the bug down to the Police Academy where Im doing work experience which is usually fine because it normally isn't total downpour like this morning! I ended up like wet trousers because she leaks!:cussing 🙁 heheh try explaining that one to the people Im working with!! I have to do somthing to stop it from looking like a tsunami inside everytime it rains! :P

Kristy_xxx ·

Ich fahre ein Kdf ein Tag ·
check your seals, I used to have a Golf that puddled in the floor every time it rained. Could not work out what was causing it... still dont know, but the first thing to do is the seals.

ragtopp ·
Hey kristy i think we need to get you some seals mate.:thumb
I hope you dont have to arrest any of the club holigans at the christmas party this year!!!:P
62deluxe ·
Sounds alot like a leaky winscreen seal miss kristy.
What club hooligans? Not me officer!!
Kristy_xxx ·
hehehe nahh I had all the seals replaced not so long ago! so it cant be those. Its from the vent near the windshield. I will have to do somthing about it or it will rot out my floorpan 🙁 hehehe yes well hopefully there will be no club hooligans to arrest! :P I have my police entrance exam Saturday so this will determine if im in or not! aggggh!
Kristy_xxx ·
Besides....I think I'm one of the club hooligans if any :P hehe got our cabinet for Shannons yet deluxe?? 👍
[ Edited on 27-7-2006 by Kristy_xxx ]
ragtopp ·
The plastic plumbing under the bonnet vent must be blocked or missing the drain pipe for it to leak like that.
Good luck in the exam mate.
Kristy_xxx ·
Thanks 🙂
62deluxe ·
Hey Kristy. Still shopping for something that's suitably tacky. Might try the tip shop...
Thinking of something with a bit of 70's Laminex.
Good luck in your exam thingy!!!👍
Kristy_xxx ·
heheh sounds perfect! I like a hint of the 70's kinda style! :P Done the exam now! yay its all over! wow the psychologic test was so weird and took like 3 hours! such a long boring time! hope I pass so I never have to do that again! 😀
ragtopp ·
Hey mate are sure you ok to sit physco exams? Just kidding dont go putting my name in the coppers dirty book. Hope all went well mate, you just gota think what answer would they like you to tick.
62deluxe ·
3 hours and I'd go psycho!!!!
I'm feeling some brown and orange wall paper for a backdrop........
Kristy_xxx ·
Yeah im feeling that too! we have to stick to the 70's Era like our cars! hehe and thats the laminex and brown/orange colours maybe we could have brown and orange flowers? hehe :P They tell u to be honest in the psyc part of the exam and not tell them what u think they want to hear....🤪
[ Edited on 30-7-2006 by Kristy_xxx ]
ragtopp ·
Thats great to be honest, but honestly you wouldnt be there if you didnt honestly want the job, and sometimes the honest answer will honestly make you look like a nutter:thumb
Kristy_xxx ·
Honestly I think you're right :P Some questions were really weird like u had to choose one and they were both bad things so u kinda had to choose what you would rather do..It was weird!
[ Edited on 30-7-2006 by Kristy_xxx ]
62deluxe ·
I'm always doing bad things! The choioce can be tough- which one to do first???:duh
Kristy_xxx ·
Yeah but it was really horrible things!
