11CAB - March 9th, 2003 at 07:39 PM

Boozer, you might have been the only baja bug, but our Baja Kombi was there as well.....
Great day, not nearly enough buggies, but heaps of kombi's


Boozer - March 9th, 2003 at 07:44 PM

Tazzielittle - March 9th, 2003 at 08:23 PM

I would like to Thank all that turned up for one of the best days I have had!
To all the little people that put in hard work, helping out and making it the day it was.
To the other clubs, who supported our show buy traveling up the range and being a part of Klubfest!
To the sponsers whom without them it would not be possible! :thumb
And last but not least, Alec.
Thanks mate!

Does anyone know if Angela and 'Walter' made it back OK?


72TWINCAB - March 10th, 2003 at 08:19 AM

I was there and had the best day. Big thank you to the organisers for a great day. Bring on the next one.

I all most had heart failure when I saw the twin cab ute being finger painted. However, I got over it when I found out that it was getting a new paint job and resto.

The show is not a bad place if you want to sell your car. I had four offers and my beast wasn't even for sale.

Great pictures bananaman. Can see my kombi in the background of one of your pics.

Anyone else got any pics?

Yep, Walter & I made it home alive - although it was touch and go there a few times...

For those of you who didn't get to see my humiliating entrance, Walter died about 400m from the top of the range, and ended up being towed in, in a scene reminiscent of a Roman triumph. Lots of snickers from the crowd, and even a few comments like "well at least it's traditional!".

Thanks so much to everyone who stopped and checked on me on the way, and especially the guys from VW Drivers Club of Qld! Trevor stopped and walked down the range to help me out, when it was clear it wasn't just an overheating problem, organised for me to be towed, and then spent ages getting totally filthy, to diagnose and fix poor Walter. He changed my fuel lines and fuel filters, checked the carbies, and got covered in petrol. THANKS TREVOR!!!! :kiss

Sadly, Walter is still suffering a little, and probably needs a fuel pump.

But we had a fantastic day, and I even won a prize!!!


sooty - March 10th, 2003 at 11:11 AM

I had a great day as well...no trouble with boredom from the kids!!!!
They loved it, which gave me the chance to have a good look around
Pity about the sunburm though. Must remember to put on the sunscreen
:(

Just a few lines to give a big (hug) to
Tazzie Little & everyone who organized parts of our journey on Sunday to Toowoomba.
I came from Byron Bay for it & stayed at
Tazzie & Robin's overnight.
Thanks (hugs) to both, for their hospitality and countless hours talking VW. Also for everyone that came, your
time, & being there Sunday & your smiling faces were enough to make it a great day and worthwhile coming.
Just goes to show when we all make an
attempt to make it, we can have a great sunshiney day :)
So to everyone who made the drive up,
even know I might not know you personally, (but I can recogize your car!!)
a big thanks (hugs).
Especially Tazzie (Lyle) & Robin for sticking with me when the "old girl" overheated. & had to be parked just outside of the event (on the street).
& they followed me back to Ipswich &
again checked her out for me.
" Thanks" I couldn't survive without you guys...
Had the perfect weekend....
Great people, great cars & a great day!!!
Thanks for you effort everyone.
To all thinking about coming next year...don't miss a great day...

AIR42 - March 11th, 2003 at 04:19 PM

I went last year and enjoyed it, tried to make it this year but a broken axle in my Kalita put a stop to it. I was looking forward to it to, oh well, there's always next year.

Looks excellent. How many VW's did you get there?

Hey, some nice artwork on a couple:)

Very colourful, must be the climate up there:cool:


Mad Manx - March 12th, 2003 at 06:04 PM

As this was my first VW show ever I was blown away with the quality rides out there- I have vowed to bring my Manx down for it next year.

So.......? Did any forum members buy the porche motor that was for sale???
It would look great in a tough Bay Window!
