        It was a good day, i think everyone had fun.
        Personalised plates are awesome here, on a poly-carbonate ones you can have up to 9 letters or numbers. $455. Normal metal ones can fit up to7 and they are around $230-240

          • Sadly I couldn't make the event, but having looked at the pictures of the event it looks like it was very well-attended. I saw quite a few VWs heading down Canning Hwy towards Applecross later in the afternoon, maybe some of them had been to WA DubDay?

            • Was a great turnout at the meetpoint and a fun but brief run to the event...the pre Christmas get together should be fun.

              Was surprised the judges didn't get into the interiors but i guess they have a heap of cars to get through in the day

              Gotta stop spending coin on stereo/interior tech and get the 'SS Pogo' lowered asap - looks like an off shore oil rig compared to everyone else's!

              • Good stuff guys, I had a great time although being hung over, underslept and standing in the sun all day ! Nice to meet some more water pumpers as always.

                I got some photos although I was restricted to 5 shots since I forgot my memory card : \ I will post em tonight.

                Upset on the pre 97 win, Corrado I thought for certain..

                  • I saw the judge take a cursory look at my interior through the window, but I suppose they may also be cautious about opening doors in case of setting off alarm systems etc. I'm not sure either how they might score an engine bay on the judging sheet as only a few people had their bonnets open. Maybe the engine bay score was only used for that specific category (albeit aircooled-only)?

                    Frankenstrat, a few of us did go down to Freo after, we left the show just after 3 so chances are you would have seen plenty of the show vehicles go past if it was around that time!

                      • Just got around to editing/uploading my snaps.
                        Strangely I didn't bother getting the camera out at the actual venue - maybe it was too dusty or I was in a trance over the hotdog stand, I don't know

                        Things that stood out for me:
                        I love MK2 GTIs.
                        The Corrado is mental.
                        WGN Werks (polo_spec_d) looks, sounds and goes great for a dirty, slammed oiler.

                        I would love to see an all-watercooled show.

                          I can't recall the precise time, Geoff, it would probably have been around that time, but I think we may have only caught the tail end if there was a convoy of VWs heading over Canning Bridge.

                          Were there any split rear screen Beetles on show on the day? I'd think they would be pretty rare these days.
