New Club Veeub Flyer added Please take note of the entry fee if you wish to display your Audi or VW on Sunday

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2012/06/GermanAutoDisplay_2012-1.jpg

Getting this out there early, Club Veedub cruise: 22 September 2012, cruise around Canberra with a BBQ at the end. Details to follow.

Shannons German Auto Display: 23 September 2012

Where: New location for SGAD is Treasury Building Carpark between Commonwealth Ave and Langton Cr, Parkes ( Across the road from the original site)

When: 23 September 2012, 10am - 3pm.

Cost: Club Veedub members $10, non members $15 (i know the flyer says $5, it was an early one and the only one i could find)

Bring: No drip tray, as it's on Bitumen this year, so no drip trays required :)

Register: at the Club Veedub tent on the day, but there may be the oppurtunity to preregister this year (TBC)

Edit 18/6/12: this year there will be a special display of German Rare Marques

Edit 03/07/12 Club Veedub VW and AUDI Specific Flyer added

More info as I get it :)

AT THIS STAGE, UNTIL CONFORMATION HAS BEEN RECIEVED FROM THE INSURER, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DISPLAY ANY UNREGISTERED VEHICLES AT SGAD

The above information is not the final word though, Conformation is being sought on this issue and I will update this post with any new information I recieve

Edit: 24/07/2012
Venue has been changed

Edit 14/08/2012 New location for SGAD is Treasury Building Carpark between Commonwealth Ave and Langton Cr, Parkes ( Across the road from the original site). I'll add a map as soon as possible. Its the carpark diagonaly accross the road heading towards Parliment House from the original site

Edit 15/08/2012 : PLI issues still with unrego'ed cars - still awaiting advice

17/09/12 - Post #143 (by me) added with more information for the display

More info for the day can be found here:

The name change to Shannons German Auto Display is due to the fact that someone has copyrighted the word 'Autofest'.

What are the odds of seeing a few retro Mk2s and Mk1s? My mate is currently obsessed with them!

Smead
23-07-2012, 04:18 PM
Quite good.

From what Ive seen last year and heard, there should be at least one mint Mk 1 GTI there, Possibly a 3 Door Mk 2 GTI and a rare Mk1 Polo.
Last year there was a few Mk 1 and 2 golfs that showed up on the day :)

There will be a big convoy leaving Melbourne Friday and returning Monday. Some that have to work/study will be coming up later Friday and zooming home Sunday arvo. If you can only take one day off id suggest Monday as the drive/cruise/photo shoot after the show is a winner!

Hi Mikinoz, cheers for the map

SGAD committee planning was for 300 - 350 cars on the day (VW alone counted for 120 odd last year) and the car park has 500 odd car parks, so while space might be a little tighter than last year we shouldn't have too many problems :)

There will be two entry points, the one closer to parliment house will be the VW entry point. As its a car park, its Club Veedubs intent to have 1 car to 1 car parking bay. I will update with any more information as I get it.

Yo this is not to sound rude but that is the most pathetic poster iv ever seen, if you want to attract people id suggest maybe organising a good clear professional looking poster. This is your major event so id hope you would want to attract as many car and general public as possible. A pro eye catching poster is something great to attract attention. With in a few hours the poster will be all over forums, blogs and facebook. Easy.

I have arranged a German car dyno day on the Saturday at Autotech in Hume - not far off Tuggeranong. If people are interested and want to do the cruise as well let me know and I'll try work it some both can be attended.

The details for the dyno day are in another 'events' post on the forum.

if its to much of a pain, then maybe sunday would be best, plus i hate detailing ! haha.
maybe i could meet you at your shop, and you take half an hour off for lunch or something, well youre the boss haha, take it for a spin etc, give it a good check over, and do it there.
If you could give it a vacuum and a polish/wax that would be awesome. then ill just bring speed detail, wheel cleaner, tyre shine etc down.

Ha ha just look for all the Dubs in the carpark!

Seriously though follow Valgameshs directions and you can't get lost. The carpark will mostly be empty at that time so you should see all the Dubs waiting to step off easily :)

Here are some of my photos from the cruise.

Wasn't as many watercooled cars on the cruise as there were last year and seemed to be very few from NSW or VIC.
