Valla ----- the Pied Piper
Valla msut have the same effect on VW owners as the Pied Piper did. Notice how quiet the Forums have been this weekend, it must have drawn 90% of the
members there and the other 9% are sitting back waiting to hear from them. Hope they are having a great time...........

Don`t you hate not being there amongst all the smart people instead of being stuck at home? ( like me too) All that glorious sun, the throng of wee
dubs motoring around,the bits and pieces one could find there. Aaghh,should be a law against it.

I'm on of the minority too. Sent the notch off to be panel beaten by a friend at his workshop and had a nice perv at some of his projects inc. a 57
split panel van. It ain't all bad...
If you can't fix it with a hammer,

Wuz great, good mixture of old/new/bugs and busses.
As always with these type events different ideas of doing stuff to cars. There seems to be more lower rat type vehicles than before. One machine that
took my fancy was an Oval done up off road style, had Kombi running gear and some practicle mods.
What was disapointing was that people were critical of it's treatment, saying "It's a rare vehicle and should not be treated like that". At least
they saved another body, the pan was stuffed so they went to work with a later model pan and Oval topside and this was the end result. Funny thing
there was a Country Buggy about three cars up that had been lowered to within an inch of it's life. Now if people were consistant then there were
millions of Ovals built and only 2000 CB's?, so the CB was an infinately rarer machine but there was no criticism of it.
People customize their machines to suit themselves, I enjoyed all the machines there and could appreciate what each owner did to make the machine
their own.

valla is crap, glad I didnt go.
too hard to get accommodation, too hard to get a park, cant even get a meal at the pizza joint, and hundreds of noisy shit box VW's. Who would want
to go there? Especially when over the last 3 days in shellharbour we have had an average overnight temp of a balmy 7 degrees (tropical 2 degrees
friday) with a slight 100kmh breeze to take the edge of the heat.

Someone's a bit sooky......
Weather was a bit cold overnight but during the day it was superb. Racing at the track was great,street parade was one of the biggest I can remember
to date and the show today with the swap meet was good as well.

got a few hundred pics and 30-40 minutes of footage from Raleigh on saturday to sort through. Will be posted up sometime this week.
Left Valla at 1.40pm and arrived at my mates at 6.40pm with 2 stops along the way. then took me 25 minutes to get from Woodridge to Bracken Ridge. Was
over driving and sitting in a car and so was my back.
The road is definately getting better and a few more sections will be open by next Valla in 2 years time.
Shorter trip!! Woo hoot!!

Funniest part about that is that everything is reversible on it. I know cause I saw it being built and rode home in it.

Valla was awesome, it was my first one! Had a fab weekend, when I have access to a computer that's not going to crash on me every 5 minutes I'm
going to upload all my pics. It was gorgeous sunny weather the whole time from Thursday through to Monday, my unit also had a nice heater that was
appreciated at night =)
