Valla for the first timer
Marilyn71 - August 7th, 2012 at 10:05 AM

Being my first Valla I cant get over what a great time it was. The range of cars and buses and the degrees of bodywork was amazing. So much work and money but great results. My wife even got into the spirit of it (and she thinks this love my love dubs is over the top). It was great to meet some of you from the forum and meet other dub lovers. And to see your cars in the flesh. A great time all round and cant wait for the next 2 years togo for the next Valla. PS Saturday night was a fun and deserved winners in the fancy dress but I did think Wally blended in Really well.

did you have the pug pup and was staying in Nambucca? My wife told you about the Marilyn bag at the street parade.
Nice meeting you and the puppy


Marilyn71 - August 9th, 2012 at 10:49 PM

Yes we had the Pug. Thats my co-driver Doogie Dog. He's a champ and a hardened Dub lover.

And yes we did get the Marilyn bag that now sits proudly on our Marilyn rear seat cover. It was great for us to meet you guys. Next Valla I dont think I'll be carrying Doogs while handling the camera though.
