KOM123's Nats report (with pics)


To be honest I can't really give a good perspective on this one although I did enjoy what I saw. Whilst I got to spend most of the day at the Bug-In on Saturday including the cruise, a previously made lunch committment on Sunday meant I didn't get to the Nats until the arvo about 2.30pm or so :(

What this meant that was with so many cars on display, I felt I was really rushed to see them all and hardly had a chance to look at the spares and wares etc.

Also it meant I didn't get to catch up with everyone. Saw a few familiar faces from the Bug-In but couldn't spot a large congregation of forum members. Guess that probably happened earlier in the day. I did get to meet Jay (and yes the kids have worn the clothes already thanks :) and love them) and a few friendly people from Flat Four.

Anyway, hope spend more time there at the next one. Again as with my Bug-In post, please find some pics for your viewing enjoyment. Tried to include a cross-section of VWs so hopefully something for all tastes!!

Brilliant pics man...:thumb

Good to see a kombi owner behind the shutter, especially since all the pics from last year, bar one, were of beetles.




Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.

I'll correct that before someone does it for me.

It was last years bug-in that there was one kombi pic, there was a few from the Nats.

Very nice.. No hotty Notch pics?

I dunno what it is about Sydney people..

The hotty Notch is just not taken anywhere close to the popularity down south... Maybe it is just me.

KruizinKombi, I thought people might think they'd seen the same thread twice hehe so I tried not to duplicate the VWs that I saw on both days to get as many different pics as I could.

Spook, I love to take pics of the buses! Unfortunately we are always outnumbered and there's alot of work I admire in the Bugs too, luckily these shows gave me a chance to get a few pics of all types :)

BUG11Y, no I didn't show mine. I love it and can't see myself giving it up but I don't see it as a show VW but mebbe I'm just being silly! Hopefully people will just get to see it in more informal environments. When I look at the ton of work in some of the other VWs I think, now that's a show car!!

BennettonVW I love you're car I put a picture of it in my Bug-In thread but I tried not to duplicate the VWs across both days, no offence intended :)

Talking about nice VWs, Dave I got to have a good look at both your bugs at the Bug-In and think I snapped a few shots for the Bug-In thread also. Wanted to say a quick hi to you on the Saturday but you were always busy chatting with other peeps, guess that's the price of fame :) I'll just be content with the friendly nod and g'day I got when passing by.

No probs Dave, neither did I and as I was saying to someone at the show, I made an effort to actually take pics of MY car this time.. As I said, don't usually do it, cause it is outside :D, but then people wanna see it and the pics are handy..
Anyway, there is more, but that will do.

Not really..

Watched the GP at Panthers. Man that is a nice place, and a great place to stay for future reference.. Had 1 or 2, and got 5 hours sleep and then drove from 8am to 5pm... Fun.

I did drive out to Panthers to drink with the Victorians...hung around the sports bar and had a couple by myself watching the cricket highlights. No one showed up so i went home!

Chris passed on the message from Jay later...they went back for a sleep in the arvo, the show had tired them out!!
