DOVW Report and Pics

Runner up.....lucky me.

don't mean to be rude, but how did you win over the red one next to you? Its identical. Swap the plates and you would never know!

Well, l don't want to sound arrogant, but, in all honesty, l think mine was better prepared, on the day. Others may feel differently????

to be honest, i didn't have a very good look, but i just couldn't work out how they judged from a dozen stock mk5 GTI's......

Its the number plate

[Tim]

they judge the cars on how well they are detailed. I didnt enter mine. But i wouldnt have won either. there are plenty of swirls in the paint thanks to the dealer. It was washed but not overly clean. its silly little things like that that can cause u loss of points in the judges eyes.

[Tensixty6]

Or maybe the LED tails. Or it could be because a number of the Mk 5's didn't enter the Show N Shine. The white 2 door next to mine (with the Porsche wheels) didn't enter.

Anyhoo, who cares. It's more important to have a good day, meet new people, share stories.....to hell with all this competitive crap.

I think the red one next to Tensixty6 in the pic is mine and i would give the win to him anyday - For one thing - mine hadnt even been washed all week - nothing like prepped - his was spotless - i swabbed for brake dust inside the rim and came up with nothing
The best reason for Chris to place better though was that mine wasnt even entered
Well done to everyone who put the effort in - the cars all look great - everyone is unique and i always get a huge buzz out of rolling down the road with the watercooled crew

speaking of which - when are we rolling again? OT i know but has anyone ever thought about doing something crazy like a day loop out of wangarrata or somewhere through the high country? some great stuff up there, Alpine Way, Monaro Hwy, real iconic drives that everybody has to do at least once.

sucks that i had to work today, me and the boss only today.... it was busy as hell! quite a few vw's came in today so hopefully some new members, also had 2 RS4's come in

Congrats to everyone who made the effort to go.

[MK2 GTI]

I had a great day! good to talk to some people and sit around with like minded people, I left early and just found out then i came 2nd in standard MK1 & 2 golf, i dunno why i was in standard golf the guy at the gate filled out the form for me and i got 17inch wheels? and a waqrning to anyone that entered, take that entry sticker off asap, last year i left mine on for a week n it is hard to get off after that!

So let me get this straight. You hadn't washed it, and you didn't enter the competition. No wonder l beat you. LOOOOOSER. Sorry, only joking.
I'd be up for a drive in the high country. Particularly if it could be just after Xmas, whilst l've got a couple of weeks off.

my gf comes from wang. She seemed excited at the prospect of a cruise back to her stomping grounds hehe.
Would be a looooong day though. maybe if you want to discuss the idea start a new thread in the meets section

[Water Boy]

A few of the stand out air coolers just to show the interstaters





And this was bad to the bone

[ScienceVR6]

did anyone get a shot of the Trike? It had the best looking exhaust system. So did the Manx Buggy with the carravan.

**** me im tired. Running around all weekend! Great day today! Weather turned up nice and its always great to hang out with the Watercooled guys. Congrats to Sean for Runner-Up. Stiff **** Troy, stop complaining and get some Crystal Vaults with some phat GT stripes over the bonnet with an 8V engine conversion. Maybe you will have a chance! Oh and dont forget the metrosexual pastel t-shirts you and your homeboys have to rock!

That black MK3 is an automotive abortion. I cant believe the judges overlooked cars like Troys and Sean. These 2 guys should have taken out modified Golf honours. The judges need to click that we dont go for the wanky JDM look and that less is sometimes more.
