12 rides with their drivers and passengers brave Melbournes wet and freezing last day of winter:o:thumb:cool:

Filled up, petrol cap taped, estimated fuel comsumption written down plus klms/miles already done on car - at the BP servo in Deer Park

We're all armed with our map, instructions and questions to answer, and rearing to go

At Lake Wendouree in Ballarat for the BBQ after stopping at the BP servo just before entering Ballarat to top up, record how many litres of petrol needed and klms/miles

So lucky there was a shelter for us:kiss

Hmmm, the sun is shining briefly here which was good for pic taking:)

Had used the last shot on the roll:(

Ballarat later in the day (honest) Jay and I saw a car with ski's on the roof, I swear they'd heard there was going to be snow at Ballarat:D


jenz58 - September 2nd, 2003 at 12:14 AM

Well it felt cold enough for snow:jesus

All Wolf needs now is some rear VW Mudflaps... thanks again.. I love looking at piccies of Volkswagens... Air Cooled of course.....

Sorry guys,

We said we would go, but there are some times when a nice warm bed and a sleep in win. :P

"I do believe I cannot make up my mind which is more painful. Hanson or Hansen?" :D


helbus - September 2nd, 2003 at 08:39 PM

Oh yer!

What was the outcome of the economy run? :jesus


jenz58 - September 2nd, 2003 at 09:11 PM

Hmmm, guys common, please:)

Flyin VW your online now:thumb

Should carry some paper to write things down on but never do, and had handed our sheets in, oops:(

Wolf got 36.05 M/P/G. which is also a good result. :)

Best Kombi 2 ltr 21.2 M/P/G
Best 1500 to 1600 43.1 M/P/G
Best 1300 and under 47.77 M/P/G

vw_mistress - September 2nd, 2003 at 09:52 PM

Nice pics Jen.

I really wanted to make it out on Sunday too...alas the cold weather was discouraging and the snugness of my bed won hands down.

Ah well, next time.
Good on you guys, you are a brave bunch.

jenz58 - September 2nd, 2003 at 10:14 PM

Hey:) We'll catch up one of these days:)

Think there may have been a couple of us jealous of those still in their warm beds. It was freezing but a great day suffering in good company:thumb


KruizinKombi - September 2nd, 2003 at 10:20 PM

Spewing I had to miss it, maybe next year. :cry


jenz58 - September 2nd, 2003 at 10:28 PM

Kol it's a date, be there:thumb

Do they have it every year? Sorta got the idea not. Don't think I've done the full 12 month cycle of events here in Vic yet, or done more than one year - haven't hit the repeat mark yet

Well I've done 2 Day of's:)


Flying VW - September 3rd, 2003 at 06:25 AM

That was the first economy run the club has done since I joined.
There will another one day but proberly in the warmer months. :)


jenz58 - September 3rd, 2003 at 09:07 AM

Cool re the 'warmer';):thumb
