Day of the Volkswagen 2012

[rgvlee]

I've been involved with the DoVW and it isn't easy/cheap to put together. Public liability will probably rule it out straight away.

The club doesn't specifically target a group of cars for the show, just that traditionally the watercooled numbers have just not been there compared to aircooled.

It would be easier to just drum up support here to get the watercooled numbers up and then let the club deal with the ins and outs of organising the show.

Yeah I guessed that aha just thought it would be an awesome concept, but rallying up support seems to be the best option.

was a good day out, but that locked gate till 3pm will definitely put me off attending next year. either that or you really need a support car so you can bugger off for an hour or two.

won the golf mk1/2/3/4 award which i was happy about, not too much competition though, which was a little surprising!

Congrats Josh, I saw the pics on your T9T facebook page Who own that silver A3 - one of your mates I'm guessing, or was it someone from OzAudi?

Yeah the locked gate policy is to do with public liability insurance - unless someone wants to volunteer to be a traffic marshall for the day I don't think the Club will be able to change it.

The VW Club is mostly aircoolers anyway but it looks like the watercooled numbers were even lower this year Looks like they culled the categories as well. They are trying to increase/encourage watercooled members but with the existance of this forum & the other VWGolf forum, not much seems to change unfort.

rgvlee is right. I've helped coordinate both forums attending DOVW before with the VW Club, but I was away this year & it doesn't look like much happened apart from a small premeet before.

veedubMK3 - I organised the Araluen cruise/show event in May. It was a good day but it's time consuming & expensive to do. I'd like to say we'll do it again next year but it all depends how many people want to participate. Same with the recent Dyno Day.

Yeah of course mate, I wasn't doubting the challenge it is to organize such an event, I was just toying with the idea, Maybe one day

Nah you're ok mate I wasn't having a go. I also find it frustrating when there is always the "them v. us" between the VWWatercooled & VWGolf forums... different groups of people with a common interest in Dubs but who never seem to be able to coordinate a joint event etc. Trust me, I've tried!

[veedubMK3]

Sorry dude I tried to quote and posted wrong but I was gunna say; Yeah I understand about the forums but I dont understand the vs either, hell I didnt even know there was a vs I have a sticker from each forum on my car! Sure watercooled is what I use most but I dont hate nor dislike vwgolf.net
