The Roadtrip

I'm booked in, it's 12 days before we hit the road and it's only 3335km down the road. I'm spending my package from Kev..... and some.

Dad and I are thinking of camping one Saturday or Friday night anyone else keen? Its gna be a kicker weekend?

After our Day of the Volkswagen is now finished for another year, there is less than 2 weeks to go to the bug-In!

We are leaving Adelaide early morning on Thursday (9th) and travelling via Ouyen & Sea Lake. With less traffic on these roads it will be easier for me to further run in the Golf Diesel.

Looking forward to another VW weekend

Oh rats, I would've stayed up in Bendigo rather than coming back to Melbourne if I knew about this. Would have been nice to meet other VW members especially if there's anyone else who's going with a Polo Gti. *SIGH* Would've been nice to meet a few guys somewhere in Melbourne and drive up together. The roads can be a bit boring.

This kinda event usually turns out to be a aircooled vw event, it's been around for years, my dads gone up in his brown type 3, he jus spent the last year restoring it. I would of gone up in my kombi ute but it's full of crap ready to go to the tip haha.

[Water Boy]

What a weekend! Just got home... Think of a Europena VW Show in the town of Bendigo there was so many VW's there it was crazy...

Im so tired, dusty and burnt but will give a full report tomorrow. Maris and I hung out a bit.

But there would have been about 30 watercooled cars many of which just came for the weekend or to compete in motorsport events.

Mk3 16v Rally car driven by a young girl.
New Polo's.
About 5 Mk1 Rally/Autocross cars
2 Raod going Mk3 being hill climbed plus a swag of Seats and old Audi's.

Also lots and lots of drinking, push starting cars, partying and Police. Iv nenver seen so many patrols cars on the streets which was good to keep people in line!

[blutopless2]

what were the categories and who won what?

[WEDEL.1]

There were no catagories;

Cars were judged on their look (& cleanliness) and the distance travelled from home.

3 aircooled & 3 watercooled.

1. Cory's T4 ex NSW Ambo Transporter.

2. Keith's 2009 Passat CC.

3. Ray's yellow 2000 New Beetle (from WA).

I don't remember the air cooled winners.
