And a good time was had by all (Carina)
Shani - September 14th, 2003 at 07:11 PM

Well Carina is over for another year and it was a pretty good day. Weather was very hot and sunny so the canteen did a roaring trade on drinks and the swap meet was very busy.
Sunshine Coast KlubVW convoy'd down in the morning with Starbuggy along for the ride, we lost her when we turned off to the gateway arterial, and didn't see her about at Carina (Where'd ya get to??)
Fuz was along with a carload who we also lost once we got there (awesome paintwork on the bug Fuz),Frog and family in the Kombi, Andy and Sean in the 'Ghia and Simon and Karen in their Camper.
There were some great cars to look at down there, as usual the camera got a good workout.
KlubVW Bayside set up a Beach Display for the competitions and did a fantastic job on it, looked awesome!! Congrats guys on a brilliant effort :thumb

Will post a couple of pics in a while when we get them sorted out.....

Sounds good:cool:

Can't wait for the pics:)

It was a big event this year bigger and better this year. We had 69 show cars entered, plus we estimate about 150 cars in the vw only parking area beside the show cars.


Big thanks to all the people who showed up, and made it such a great day, and also John Brose who hadn't slept for the last three nites, trying to get everything ready.


cheers all:beer:beer:beer

p.s the throphy winners, inlcuding photo's of each winning car will be on the website soon (soon as the webmaster comes home from germany), http://www.vwdcqinc.org.au

Now I know why the forum has been so quiet the last two days!!!! LOL

Glad it was such a great day!!!


Shani - September 14th, 2003 at 07:40 PM

Ok this is bizarre, why does this post now say it's by Old Dubber and is 3 pages long when there's nothing on the last 2 pages?? weird!


Jay_1965vw - September 14th, 2003 at 07:50 PM

Theres something really weird going on with the posts Shani, I'm not sure what it is though...


Baja Wes - September 14th, 2003 at 08:10 PM

OK, I have split out this thread, but am now trying to save the original Action Day Post.


Shani - September 14th, 2003 at 08:13 PM

Thanks for that Wes :D:thumb

Here is a pic of KlubVW Sunshine Coast at the Pub before we left.....


Shani - September 14th, 2003 at 08:16 PM

We couldn't get the beach display in one pic so we've got two but you'll get the idea.
Once again Great Job Bayside...


jenz58 - September 14th, 2003 at 08:17 PM

Starbug - September 15th, 2003 at 02:13 PM

shani- i split off to drop my dad off in queen street and pick up my still-sleeping partner! slight detour i know ;)

i had so much fun though!! all those people who overtook us on the highway must have been a bit weirded out by such a synchronised line of vw's... hehehe

sorry i didnt run into any of you at the show (except fuz and crew- and my bf loved the paint job! hehehe)
perhaps we can catch up again soon when im up the coast (which is often)

hope you all had a great day! :)


Shani - September 16th, 2003 at 02:03 PM

Starbuggy glad you managed to catch up with fuz, we sorta lost his group once we got in the gates too.
We've got a Cruise coming up on the 28th if you are around and want to join us, let me know anyhow.....

:bounce


Starbug - September 16th, 2003 at 09:57 PM

hopefully wont be working that day shani- so i may come and join you... my parents will be so stoked that i come up and visit them so often! hehehe

and my dog would do anything for another ride in cherry!

Hi All.
Just to let you know we are already planning at the next vw show
(at Coomera on the 16th Nov)
to put up a meet & greet tent for forum members to come over & say Hi.
It will have a sign to say
"AVD forum get together".
I will keep you posted on info about this
as time approaches...
