Anyone have better luck than me today at the Bendigo swap meet. The only VW stuff i could find were hub caps. However, the people watching was supurb, some interesting looking bubba types that u wouldnt want as your cell mate. Also a fine day for a blat in the country.

hehehe

You had the same experience as I had last year!

Last year I came away with a VW pin which I have on my day pack. Oh, and an indicator arm for Bel the beetle which I picked up outside the gate from a guy I bought from at last years DO.

I had all these huge burly guys with tatts sniggering at me when I asked if they had any VW stuff or knew anyone who did. It was kinda funny though.

Definitely a people watching place, amazing. For me it was very Mad Maxish. I loved it

Had a great time, BUGBOY and myself (along with the cook!) stayed Sat night and relaxed after a big day. Sunday morning we went back and picked up a few more things, then left about 11.am. 1Klm form the gate there they where....The COPS pulling everyone over for vehicle/licence/breatho checks, well this guy was a right prick and went right throught the Notch giving me a Canary plus a $165 fine for me trouble

'kin Bastard!

So no Notch for this weekends 'Day of'. This bloke was having a ball as the Shannons Show and Shine cars were all going to get done.....I'll never take a hotty car up there again. Drive a Magna and don't have fun is what they want.

P.S. I have a couple of good friends who are Police Officers, and this guy gives them all a bad name. Whats more of a bastard is that this was the same copper who booked me for not wearing a seat belt in a Truck when I worked for Aussie Post all those years ago, never forget a name!

Oh Anthony, I can't believe it!!!

Hey that cop must have such a chip of some kind on his shoulder:o

I love your notch, I'm totally stunned

What did they defect you on?

Why aren't you taking your notch to DOVW?, I thought you have a grace period where you can still drive with a canary?

cheers

Sorry to hear about what happened Anthony....but..."Congratulations"!!!! wear it with pride !!! I've had five canaries in total so far, keep Australia beautiful, drive a 'slammed' V-Dub! Run the car near-empty, find someone who owns a set of coil-over shocks and 4 wheels with crossply tyres......that's all you need unless you have to get a full RWC.
p.s. When you get to there, give the car a manual lift for the shocks to raise the car and don't get in again until after the visual check.
Cheers,

I copt the same shit going to work down Chapel street in mine!! I didnt get the fine though! DOnt know why!!! It was at 8.30 in the morning! the prick was waiting for anything slightly low in one of the side streets near the black prince!!!!
