One of the biggest events on the Australian VW calendar is the Volkswagen Spectacular
held in Nambucca Heads, NSW. Established in 1984 by the Pell family, it is now in its 32nd year and a bi-annual event that runs for an entire week based around Volkswagens!
2014 was the 20th anniversary for the event and over 750 cars attending from all across Oz and 2016 was the year that we aimed to take 2 cars to the event…the 356 and the Split Bug.
With the looming deadline, both cars were far from being completed and the pressure was on, with the plan being to ship both cars to Coffs and then cruise up to Valla for the week’s events.
The Outlaw356 made it just in time but the same couldn't be said for the beetle, as there was more work that was required than had planned.
The 356 did have a couple of small issues but a big thank you goes out to Luke Pell who worked his magic on it.
The next few days was the 356’s ‘shake down’ test for which it performed remarkably well and we had a blast!
