The world is celebrating the 80th anniversary of the humble Volkswagen Beetle, one of the greatest success stories in automotive history.
We could not have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate as we spent time in the previous days prepping the ‘Pretzel’ for the annual pilgrimage to South Fremantle for the “Day of the Volkswagen”
A pre show meet up was organised at the Baywater Bandit's H.Q and after a short chat the convoy headed off to the show, picking up a few more dubbers along the way.
The big noticeable difference this year was the new branding the club introduced which was on point and the increase in the number of dubs in attendance.
There were a few stand out builds debuted and if you are a low-light Ghia fan you would have had a sensory overload on Bernie’s KG and Kasey's KG. Darren debuted his fresh n’ slammed Scirocco that looked right at home in the weeds, Paul in his funky’ cold patina’d Single Cab, Jonathan in his early KG and the 21 window Deluxe that was the last build from Al@Das Resto Haus. There was almost one of every model that VW had produced present at the show including many VW based kit cars as well.
The Pretzel came home with the 'President’s Choice' award which we proudly accepted and congratulations to all the other dubbers that took some silverware home.
Once again the show was a lot of fun, ran like clockwork and was extremely well organised. A big thank you to Jamie and all the club members involved..bringing us all to one fantastic spot to celebrate the much loved VW. Cheers!
