But I'll be there with shamois ......just in case.

[MattyT]

Am looking forward to this!

[MattyT]

Bump 4 tomorrow! :D

[MattyT]

Well... I'm gunna be honest and say I found the whole thing totally underwhelming. Not even 10 watercooled cars there!!

Some the kombis where nice, and that some of those Kanmann coupes looked awesome.

Not a single mk3 golf in sight though, very disappointing.

[geoff_gti]

Yeah unfortunately I kinda agree... would have been nice to see more golfs and polos there. Definately a club emphasis on the classics. Still a nice day out though :)

I did hear someone talking about a GTI club at one point which I hadn't come across before. Apparently they did a group run up to the Northam day earlier in the year. Any ideas where this is, web address etc??? I thought I'd found most of the forums already haha

[benda]

I expected to see more new VWs there too. The new-crew certainly were outnumbered, but I enjoy seeing where VW has come from.

How massively awesome was DEF DUB?

Those shots are alot better then mine, I really lost all inspiration to shoot with so few water dubs around :(

[balkanac]

it was a bit dissapointing i agree, but i still think you should've parked your car among us MattyT. Doesn't matter, i managed to take a few photos of it anyway :) will post them up soon

[DaveMack]

Lurve your MKIV R32, Balkanac ... schweeeeeeeet. (But then ... everyone knows I'm just an R32 whore :D ... I make no excuses.)

Dave

[sikbora]

It was a good day, at least I met few of you guys. Should catch up some time soon and go on a cruise.

Balcanac, there was a trophy for you just after you left, i think it was for best engine bay.

Daniel

[balkanac]

My friend wanted to go to sleep or something, so i had to go.

[geoff_gti]

Nifty pics their guys. It looks like the weather gods were there for you as they were for us too. Are we all a little red now?

[Water Boy]

OMG the most Mk2's in one spot... How come WA has so many :? Great to see Al's old car out in force... Props to all the other guys too :D

[balkanac]

I hope you are joking! There were 2 MK2s there. Heaps of aircoolers, maybe 10-15 watercoolers. Not what i expected. Still a nice day though

Nah i saw more Mk2's than any other water pumper there :rolleyes:

[rodrocco]

Thanks for all the feedback. The club was a bit disappointed with the turnout of waterpumpers too but thanks go to you guys for turning up and glad you enjoyed the day. But let me say that the day is only orgaised by the club but is open to anyone with a VW or VW powered. About half of the total turnout were club members and non club members picked up 10 of the 18 trophies on offer. Maybe more advertising, or even sooner is required. We had an aeroplane turn up one year, a Knombi with a V6 Capri motor in it and a Beetle with a Mazda 13b rotory.

There is a group of members who have R32's and the Golf & Polo GTi's that go off and do their own thing, but as a subgroup of the club and are therefore covered by public liability when on a designated run.

There are some great photos from the day, so here's a link to some more.

There's an overnight run to Bridgetown in Feb if anyone is interested.
