Flat Four Shootout, Sydney NSW

[Lukev85]

Hey guys,


The not sure weather anyone has heard of the Flat Four Shootout. Its a yearly event hosted by the Flat Four Veedub Club. It will be hosted at the Michael Wendon Centre, 62 Cabramatta Rd, Miller on the 4th of November.


Ive never attended before, but have heard that it is mainly an Aircooled dominated event. Just wondering weather any watercooled VeeDubers are attending. Would be good to see some old Skool Passats and Golfs standing out among all the Bugs and Kombis.

Heard about it - got the flyer at the VW Nationals. What's it all about anyway?

[Lukev85]

Its like Flat Four Clubs version of the Nationals. Its an indoor and out door event.

Also a swap meet outside so im told.

Basically a smaller version of the nationals

[phaeton]

Drag Racing I think ;)

[Lukev85]

Pretty sure its a Vw gathering

It's an event hosted by the Flat Four Club - open to both air-cooled and water cooled. It is held indoors and outdoors, with the indoors spots on a first come first served basis.

It's a great venue and you do not need to pre-enter, although a pre-entry will probably get you inside.

Attached is the flyer, contact Murray if you wish to attend.

I can *almost* read that...

Any chance of a better link?

[rayray086]

Dammit I just had the flyer in my car (been sitting in there since VW Nats earlier this April) but only recently threw it out while cleaning the car :( Would the people in NSW be up for making a watercooled attendance? I would come along for sure.

[BL33SU]

what is it? a dyno day?

[star_man_61]

Sorry Guys,

You should be able to read this attachment a little better.

Yes, the show is the Flat Four's Annual Event similar to Club VeeDub's, just smaller, but well worth seeing and the Water Cooled portion, like at the nationals, is growing in numbers.

If you need a larger image of the event (Or you've lost your glasses:)), I have a huge one if needed..

[Golf Loon]

I goto this every year, its a good day out.

The swap meet is usually good and the standard of show cars is very high.

Bring your families and polish your cars. see you there.

[Lukev85]

Hey guys,

Great to see that the watercooled presence in strong here. As mentioned before I was gonna bring my Beetle but she wont be ready as its not 100% yet.

Watercooled cars are gonna stand out among all the aircooled Vee Dubs. Ive decided to bring the Passat, something different.

Hoping to catch heaps of Golfs etc.

Cheers

[Golf Loon]

Just had a phonecall from the organizers about trophies and numbers.

I`ll be there with at least one car, probably a couple and a trade stand.

A good watercooled prescence would be great.

Miller is pretty central, just off Hoxton Park Drive at the back of Liverpool.

If you want to enter your car, they want you there before 9. Trophies will be given at 2.30.

Lets have a show o hands whos in?

[rayray086]

I'm in mate. Screw exams.

[DubSteve]

Sounds Interesting Count me as a maybe ;)

[Lukev85]

Im definatly in

[BL33SU]

so for those who r entering, its cheaper if u enter before oct 15th i think. :???:

[VWEAPN]

i will be there

[DubSteve]

I think that we should use this as a GTG to work out a summer GTG for the Syndisiders! We haven't had a big gathering since the beginning of the year in January! What does everyone think:?

[vr6mike]

I'm in, be good to meet everyone, was at the Nats but only new to the scene (well I still am actually). Besides, have to be there for work so count me in. Don't think i'll enter my car but i'll bring it along and be there for sure.

[VW18LT]

looks good i should be able to make it.

[Lukev85]

Its on this sunday. Entry form sent in.. yea

[rayray086]

How does the event work by the way? I just visited the website, and $40 is a bit too much for me to enter the car and get it judged to be honest. Is there a way I could just show the car on the grounds but not have it judged?

I wouldnt imagine that would be a problem. They will have outdoor parking and im guessing there will be heaps of dubs there not being judged. I reckon call murray fleming, hes the president of the flat four club and the main contact for the event. His number is on the website.

[DubSteve]

Is anyone going to this at all?

[Lukev85]

cheers,
mike.
