Southern Gold Coast , plenty of street bands and stages , free entry , 1000 odd cars all pre 72 plus much much more .

wow that was like on only the other week..
man that sure came around quick
enjoy the goldie..
*sigh* I wish!
I was there on Sat afternoon... Great display of cars. I only saw two VW's though... A nice Superbug and a Ratty chop top bug... Sorry did'nt take pics, hopefully the Wintersun event stays in Qld next year.
They have cancelled the mid year Victorian event due to lack of interest so maybe that is an indication that it will remain in Queensland.
Nice teardrop by the way 
Thinking that was yours in VWMA?
Sounds good it should remain a Qld event! Yeah that is my Teardrop in VWMA
Cheers

Did anyone hear about the 2 cars that were stolen from this yrs wintersun? apparently there was a few last time too.
My father just informed me, i don't know what the second car was, but one was a genuine ford GTHO phase 3... OUCH!
was a 74 monaro and a 1928 hotrod
same deal as last year, taken from the underground locked up carpark of the motel the owners were staying at
i heard last weekend on the oldmans scanner the hotrod was spotted on the side of the road just up from here at Uki, dunno if it was recovered tho
the XB coupe that was pinch last year was found cut in half and torched up near jacobs well tho
Ah ok.
you'd think having such a great machine you would go crazy with security measures...
If they are pro enough though, any thief could steal anything...
There would be ways to set it up without harming the 'originality'
but some seem owners seem ignorant.
Had the next door neighbour stay ova at wintersun with his red stringray corvette and he ain't even got a kill switch, alarm or fuel cut off.
absolutely nuffin but the classic old factory ignition barrel and door lock.
ah wells...
yea true but if ppl want them badly enough alarms and immobilisors arent gonna stop them
locks only keep honest ppl out
they were caught on the motels CCTV taking them too
I know of a number of the owners who slept in their vehicles this year. Cannot be anymore secure then that I suppose
