Still not sure if we'll be able to make the cruise on the Sat. Would like to, but not sure if it's possible.

Sunday at 7.30 will be a bit of a stretch. Got some commitments that we'll be up early for. So we're looking to show up to the event at about 8 - 8.30 to lend a helping hand.
We'll hopefully have Michael in the Kombi and Janet in the beetle with us too.

Sorry guys, I can't make it this year. Hopefully things will be normal again next year.

has anyone noticed that the event has been advertised on local TV for the last week as being held at Rons Pond at the end of Anzac pd?

Cool opportunity for a "Cafe 2 U" type bus to set up there, to cash in on the disappointed punters...

I start work in Hall at 4.50pm so I too would really like to know where the Sat cruise is to so I can see if I can join in and get back in time. Thanks

And good grief! Chelli has made a good point. Do we need someone/sign there to advise of venue change

Finger on the pulse The venue was changed months ago

Oh well

Well done to everyone who came along for the great day that was Autofest 2009.

At last count we had in the vicinity of 77 VWs (haven't done the official count yet), and I must say that 2009 seemed to be the year of the Kombi. Heaps of 'em, lots of Golfs, a few Jetta's and Passats, and handfuls of Beetles (old and new). Throw in a Beach Buggy, some Karmann Ghia's, a Volks Rod, a Notchback, 2 Things and a Country Buggy, and you get the idea of the day we had. Oh yeah, a Type 4 as well, that was pretty cool!

I will put up an indepth post in the next few days with pictures and such, I expect pics will be posted by others soon.

Thanks to everyone who assisted today, many hands made the proverbial light work and all went extremely well. To the people who didn't make it along today, you missed out on some great cars and excellent dubbish conversation.

Some of my pics of the cruise on Saturday...

Some of you guys need to post some of the air-cooled pics

Great pics JP, with your OK I'd like to borrow 3 for posting elsewhere?

Not a problem Bruce. If it's on the web, it's fair game? But thanks for asking anyway.



Also, a big thank-you to Bruce, Mark and others for organising a bloody brilliant day, with great weather to boot!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to all the local guys and gals that turned up too, it was great to see the local stuff in there!

JP

I took a few with my mobile phone - quality of photos doesnt do some of the cars justice:


Basil and friend



I echo JPs comments - massive thanks to Mark and Bruce and all those who spent many hours preparing, planning, and making it all happen.. A terrific day.

Just saw this event covered in Zietschrift

Anyone recognise their cars?

Some familiar pics there Thanks to JP for lending some of his pictures.

The article came out OK I think. Also, we finally beat the Mercedes count, their official count for Autofest was 76 cars, we had 77. Well done dubbers!
