Day of the Volkswagen, show day, Adelaide, 21st March 2010.

Well I personally think the judges did a great job.
I think they have a hard job abd most of the time its a thankless job.

THANKS

Oh and the look on Maris face when I introduced myself, the timimg was perfect ay Maris, nice to meet you

Dave

You bugger you. Great to meet you to Mate...

Yes he did, won his class, and was in contention for Watercooled car of the Day.

Who won Watercooled of the day? Red Beetle, by any chance?

Just noticed my pics look kinda average. Might try to fix that...

[Scouser]

Now I am not just saying this because of the results but,,,,,

I think this was the better of the two shows we have here in SA, the amount of people who commented on how good it was to be able to get chairs and pergola,s out, sit on the grass with friends, and have the kids playing around, it was a great show.
The enthusiasts have tried something differant over the last two years but its not the same for family members when there is just a road to hang round.
At Modbury, if the other half wasnt interested or the kids got bored they could go the the plaza and shop or even see a film.
Well done to all involved.

Yep, you're right.

Her car has got better this year and I think alot has to do with her Father doing the judging with me last year. He found out where thay went a little astray and fixed it.

I think it's a great looking little car very well detailed.

They have upped the standard.

Yes, I judged that car, and you couldn't really fault it (by the judging criteria, anyway). Even cleaner than yours, Maris!

Yep, I'd agree, Steve.

I also post the start of this thread at aussieveedubbers, and to the credit of the people on this Forum, the results are a hundred times better.

420 (approx) views on 1 page on aussieveedubbers, almost 2300 viewson about 18 pages says alot.

Well done boys. Like to see more of us on the park next year.

That is actually not a Kubelwagen, It is called a 181 or "thing"

Thanks for correcting me, I'd like to get "thing" like that one day. Would you/anyone know if there is a Kubelwagen at all in OZ?

I won't get into this conversation, but I can say that we are very happy with the venue we selected and we hope to be able to secure this location again next year.

Loving the yellow Mk1.

Annoyed I missed meeting some of you

Busy day from a Club prospective setting up, directing traffic, judging and packing up but all worth it to see the good reports on this forum.
Next year is DoVW 30th Anniversary so I expect every SA member to enter or pay a visit for the future progress of VW in SA.

Thanks to Ben and Stephen for assisting with the judging.

A couple owned by Military vehicle collectors and one or two owned by VW Enthusiasts.

I would just like to say i had a nice time meeting up with some of the members from this forum.

I really liked the place the show was held and it was nice the public could come and walk round looking at the vehicles for free,
Something you never got in the UK
Here are some pics i took....sorry there none of the members cars i forgot to take any pics of your nice vehicles(except Jets Transporter).
