Volkswagen discrimination
Thinking of going down to Canberra for the German auto fest on Sunday and as I haven't been before thought I would find out some info on the
event,loged onto the Club vee dub Canberra website that was most helpful ,but one thing got me puzzled Thay ask for all cars to have a DRIP TRAY, now
it looks like from Google earth it a regular every day car park so anyone using it 364 days a year must bring a drip tray too,but what is more
interesting I looked on the Porsche and Mercedes web sites and no mention of a drip tray,do we come with a reputation for marking our territory or is
this just discrimination , any way I will take my cardboard drip tray and display it proudly

Not sure, but I think you may have stumbled on a page from last years event...... or we forgot to change it..... its in a car park and I think (so
don't hold me to it) you are right in that we might not need a drip tray this year.
