With under 3 weeks to go this is about your last chance to join me on this trip . There are 8 confirmed and paid for at the moment and a few more
still deciding so you'd better get organised . I also have multiple containers organised for the people that want large or heavy items shipped and
can't make the trip due to other commitments , ROD , 02-42729920 .

Make sure you go to Nick's Burgers 2 nights before the Classic when you are out there. Get there early like at 2:30pm. People show up early and two
years ago when I was there I had to park my bug across the street and barely found a spot there. The Classic weekend is awesome out there. Damn I
miss living in Orange County, CA.

John Shweers is a really great guy - he took the time to let my kids both have a seat in the notch and get a few pics. My son Kai (almost 4) loved the
explanation of how he changes gears and pulls the chute....only downside is having to answer his questions of why none of dad's vws go fast enough
for a parachute 
Pics of Kai and Zali both stoked to be in an 8-second notch

Well , after a good night's sleep I am ready to get back into it . I have to thank all of the other guy's that joined me on this trip as we all
didn't stop laughing until we landed back in Sydney . It was a full on 13 days and with numerous vw swapmeets , events and parts shopping , we were
all overloaded @ the airport . I will be testing a lot of new and exciting performance parts over the next couple of weeks and I will be up-dating the
website with a lot of new products as well . I will be heading back over in Sept for the Bugorama pro-stock meeting for a week or so and will give you
all some notice on dates real soon , ROD.
