VW-Folk in Sydney, look here !

Hello Australia !

I'm visiting Sydney between 20th and 26th November.

Little bit about my self. I’m a second generation aircooled v-dubber from Finland. I bought my first car 1999 when I was 18 years old. The car was a -66 beetle and I still own it. The -66 is in original shape. It’s as high as a Golf crosscountry :)

Last summer a also drove with my lowered -61 ratlooker beetle. I also own couple of projects: a -51 beetle and a -66 samba bus.

I already read that Rodstock Car Show & Swap Meet 21st November, 2010 will be hold at Hubertus country club. Is this something for a aircooled v-dub enthusiast?

Is there any other vw-events, club meetings, vw-shops etc. arranged nearby Sydney city during my visit? If I could see and meet one vw and its owner, my trip to Australia would be perfect.

Please Australian vw-folk contact me by email : hooponator@gmail.com
Best regards Henri

Hi Nath.

Sounds great that there will be some v-dubs at Rodstock.
Let's see if there is someone coming from Sydney city so I might get a ride to the meeting.

Best regards Henri
