FYI, MBCCWA have updated their Events Calendar:

23 Sept: German Car Day
bullet The 2012 German Car Day is on this day, taking it out of the traditional middle of winter date for the first year. The Mercedes-Benz Car Club has hosted this event for over a decade. It has seen strong turnouts of Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, BMW, Audi and Volkswagen cars, as well as examples of Borgward, NSU, Opel and even Messerschmitt – and German made models such as the Ford Focus XR5. The event has previously been held in York and Northam, but starting this year we’re making it a moving feast, with a different destination each year.

The event begins with meeting at the car park corner of Plain Street and Nelson Crescent in Perth, near the WACA at 9.30am, and from there a drive will set off to our secret destination. The convoy should reach the destination in about an hour and a half. There, cars will be parked by marque and on public display. There are plenty of places to eat nearby, or you’re welcome to bring a picnic lunch. And no, the destination will not be divulged until the day…

The cost is just $10 per car - regardless of how many people are on board - which includes a raffle ticket with some excellent prizes. Part proceeds will go to CanTeen.

You don’t have to be a club member to participate. And you don’t need a show-car, all German cars are welcome. Spread the word – the more the merrier…

When: Sunday, September 23
Where: Car park corner of Plain Street and Nelson Crescent in Perth, near the WACA - drive to secret destination

I'm beginning to think it could be Mandurah...

[geoff_gti]

well that would be better than Yanchep I suppose haha

[Paul_OH]

Hmmm I had it in my head that it was Whiteman Park, the only point on the compass we haven't covered is Rottnest!

[ChrisMaz]

Question is... You'd have to do a massive loop of major roads (Which I imagine the merc club will take..) to take an hour an a half to get to Whiteman Park.

Guess we'll find out. Dubbers are more than welcome to Join us at the Mill Point road car park for a pre-meet meet point.

So how many are planning on coming this year?

We can do a Leederville meet if there's enough vww & ozaudi participants, otherwise we can just meet up with the Opel guys and convoy to Plain St carpark with them

rats. i won't be able to make it this year. heading overseas. looking forward to the pics and stories. catch up another time at a cruise.

[MattyT]

I really cant wait to see how few cars turn up for this. Seriously. What a dumb idea.

[gareth_oau]

I'll be on my way back from London

What's On - German Car Day


so if you cant be assed with a poorly organised convoy to a 'secret' location just roll in to Hall Park probably just before lunch time and beat the bums rush to the bratwurst stand and start rocking out to the oompah band

[geoff_gti]

You should be a detective, just saw the post on vwg.

Except the push pin in that map is the middle of the shopping centre....
It's over by the estuary on the Halls Head side
