yeah, me too,,, I got my spare gearbox in on thursday,,,,,, took me 3 hours,,,, but i need it to last me at least 3 weeks & if i hit Vlla with it
then maybe i`d only have a weeks worth of box life left after i got back (if i got back) :-) so i opted to play it safe & stay home,,, :-( i
might get there again next year.

My first trip to Valla was in 1988.
I left home at about 5pm on the Friday arvo.
I was driving down alone in my 1200cc dung beetle,
and helped to tow a broken down Golf the last 20 or so kms.
It was a slow trip.
Being that I arrived after dark, and negotiated a bed in one of the cabins,
I awoke early on the Saturday morning to find the park had filled up over night.....full of Volksies as the sun came up.
It was a frosty morning but the excitement had me running around like a crazy 19 year old....well, I was 19.
That memory is what comes to mind when I see Andrew pine-ing(sp?) to be there.

Just spoke to Menagler at Valla, really wish I'd made the effort now. Rats and Splitties every where Dave said, whilst sucking back another beer in
the QLD sun.
I love Canberra and 8 degree days.

This is the first one I have missed since my first attendance in 88 or 89.
I didnt think it would bother me so much, but from thursday, especially friday(which were crap days at work), and very much this evening on my lonely
drive home form the pub I am missing it very much. I seriously thought about turning around and getting there in plenty of time for the show tomorrow.
Not sure what I am most upset about. Ruining my 100% record or missing out on the shenanigans tonight. Thought about phoning birchall but realise that
the conversation would be incomprehensible anyway :P

Hi
Sawtell is much smaller than Valla, its only been running for a few years, next year will be the 3rd year.
We have a small band of VW enthusiasts who have been and most really enjoy their time there, apart from the rain. Hopefully the event will grow in the
future.
Steve
