Hi Club Members and Readers……

I am writing this at our monthly meeting, Looking around we have another 2 new faces here. This is the biggest committee in many years. The more people we have the better for everyone, the load is shared. We have great team! We’ll need to find a new meeting room to accommodate us soon. On this note a big thank you goes out to the salesmen at John Hughes Volkswagen in Victoria Park for their welcoming attitude and letting us take over their staff room on the Wednesday nights, cheers Guys.

At the recent AGM we voted on “Member of the Year” this went to Graham McCloud. We decided on awarding “G-Mac” as he is fondly nicknamed, that includes free membership for next your, based on his attendance record to the club events over the past year. He is always the life and soul of the party and helps out where needed. G-Mac thanks for supporting the club and all the memorable moments!

Day of the Volkswagen is only around the corner - 30th November to be exact.

This is a friendly reminder that if you intend of having your car judged in the show n shine – show some respect to the judges and clean your car. Get those chip packets and empty bottles in the bin and vacuum your shag pile carpet, clean your engine and wheels, dust your dash, and wash n polish that paint and buff your chrome (if you have any). Jokes aside it takes them a lot of effort so don’t waste their time they want to enjoy the show too. There will be a gold coin donation, which will go to the chosen Club charity the DuchenneFoundation.

We are expecting a big turnout this year so please be patient, we’ll get you all in as quick as possible, respect the traffic marshals instructions, and most importantly have fun and enjoy the Day! Jamie Barrett Club President

Hello members...remember our “Member’s Profile” page...well they are back. Get yours in soon.

Name:

Corey Mill

Family: 43 years old, married to Fiona and we have 1 adult child (18) First VW: 1973 orange stock standard kombi, owned between 1988 & 1989 Best place to cruise: We live just north of Bunbury, so are keen on the south west runs.

Current Vehicle(s): Returned to the VW scene last year when I bought a 1964 Beetle for some fun, a bit of a hobby and to keep me out of the beer fridge. (not really working on the last one) We are the fourth owners of the beetle.

Took the Beetle off the road for 2 months (ish) and fixed up the usual rust spots, put 2 ½ inch drop spindles, repainted in the original blue with white two tone below the window levels and replaced the carpet with a new one.

Other than the above it is a stock standard 1200.

On the wish list is new door cards, seat covers and some lower profile tyres for the front as they are rubbing a little when I turn. (Can’t seem to find 165 -50- 15 tyres so if anyone knows, give me a bell) It was never going to be a show car by any stretch of the imagination, but I’m pretty happy with how it has turned out so far and are keen to get it out and about.

I paid $2,800 for him and have spent about another $1,500 all up.

Would love another project, maybe a Baja bug but ... one of them is me!

...the Beetle, Fiona and me on the Busso weekend.

the boss said I would have tell sell one of my other toys, now that’s just crazy talk if you ask me.

It’s amazing all the thumbs up and toots I get when driving it around and every time I stop someone has a story of either theirs, their dads or grandads beetle hey used to have. They are definitely a universally loved car by all ages.

60th Anniversary is coming!

November 2014

The Western Australian 2014 Day of the Volkswagen is being held on Sunday the 30th November. The venue is the lovely Taylor Reserve in Victoria Park with the Swan river and the Perth City skyline making a great back drop to the show.

This year we are celebrating 40 years of the Volkswagen Golf. The colour for the show this year is grey so get out your Volkswagen Club Tee shirt – If you don’t have one there will some on sale along with the recently acquired Club Car badges, Pin badges, Key rings and the new 2015 Calendar all under the new marquee.

The gates open at 08:00 am and close at 10am until the presentation proceedings are over at approximately 2pm.

This years categories for the show and shine have not changed from last year...but we have just added one for the best Golf on the Day. See opposite page...

We have decided to slightly tweak the layout of the field mainly the parking direction and better traffic management.

As last year judging will be conducted by a team of 5 volunteers before your car is parked...please have your entry form complete.

Via West

Please have a clean car for judging.

There is a gold coin donation for those wanting their vehicle judged – this goes to our club charity this year, the

a very worthy cause! Collection tins will be at the club tent throughout the day too.

We will have food and drink vendors to keep you replenished including the Lions Club sausage sizzle, ice-cream van, coffee van and Boost Juice is back. MMMMmmmmm The tradition of the face painting going in the “kids area”, and it should go without mentioning the inarguable “colouring in competition” which is always a hit, will be on again. A free Bouncy Castle will be present for the energetic ones.

We encourage swap and sell too, so if you want to load up your ride with those parts that may help somebody else finish theirs off, bring them along we do not charge for this. If you are looking for a part or a bit of Merchandise bring your wallet or purse along.

Also don’t forget our friends at The Formula Vee Association of WA, they will be along with some fine examples of their Formula Vees for you to look over and ask questions

about...it really is a fun sport for all ages.

Don’t let the words “Show and Shine” put you off parking on the field if you feel your vehicle isn’t to show condition, this is a gathering of Volkswagen enthusiasts and their cars. Let people see your work in progress or your daily driver – don’t be shy and come and join the display.

Don’t limit your car to a VW either, all Volkswagen affiliates are welcome...Audi, Skoda, Porsche etc.

Thankyou to all our sponsors, especially Shannons Insurance...visit their stand.

If you can’t commit to the “Lock in” an overflow car park is open so you can leave when you want. The Lock in is for the safety of the patrons and lets face it – its only 4 hours for one day of the year.

This is always a great day, which amazes me every year with the turnout of different vehicles, we are expecting over 150 to drive through or be trailered through the gate.

Once the gates open for departure at around 2pm don’t feel like you have to shoot off, stick around for a chat a cold one and enjoy the day. Be safe on your journey – See you there!

and a wide hatchback boot, on top of which is a subtle aerodynamic wing. The Scirocco has frameless doors, a feature that further accentuates the car’s sporting credentials.

Although configured to appear low and wide, the Scirocco’s designers moved away from using a traditional coupé’s sloping roof.

Instead the Scirocco has a steep hatch with a long roof and vertical tailgate, which brings two key advantages. The first is in design where the car’s unusual proportions give it a squat but purposeful appearance; the second and arguably more important, is that the upright rear and short overhangs give the Scirocco substantial space in the rear for two adults plus luggage. This means the car is not only stylish but is also practical, and capable of seating four above-averageheight adults in comfort.

One of the less obvious revisions introduced in the 2014 Scirocco R is that the Volkswagen badge on the tailgate now functions as a handle.

Four sculpted sports seats offer comfort and support for all four passengers, while nondetachable headrests ensure safety at all times for rear seat occupants. A generous amount of interior space is also afforded by these seats. As they are positioned low in the car in true sports coupé style, they allow interior heights of 953mm in the front and 924mm in the rear, meaning ample headroom is available.

The rear seats can also be split (50:50) and folded to increase cargo space when necessary. A maximum 1006 litres is available in the Scirocco.

For convenience, the front seats offer rear passengers easy entry and exit to the back seats. When unlatched, they not only tip but also slide forward to maximise entry room. However, when they are put back, they automatically return to their previously set positions, meaning driver and passenger do not have to readjust their seats.

Other design features include a contoured, flat-bottomed multifunction sports steering wheel and distinctive triangular grab handles on the doors. The interior is light, airy and surprisingly roomy, while the option of an electrically-operated tilting panoramic sunroof emphasises the feeling of spaciousness. In the top centre of the dashboard is a pod containing three sports instrument dials: oil temperature, turbo boost pressure and a chronometer.

The exhaust system itself is designed as a double-flow system.

Dual oval chrome tailpipes extend out from the bumper.

The Scirocco R once again is available with either a six-speed manual or dual clutch DSG transmission, both offering optimal performance and efficiency.

The Scirocco’s suspension system uses strut-type suspension at the front and a multi-link layout at the rear.

Winners in Spain! Ogier and Ingrassia defend WRC title with Volkswagen Wolfsburg: A big day for Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia. A big day for Volkswagen. With their victory at the Rally Spain, the old world champions have been crowned the new world champions*. After their seventh victory of the season, the 23rd of their career, the French duo cannot be caught in the overall standings of the FIA World Rally Championship. Not even by their team-mates Jari-Matti Latvala/ Miikka Anttila (FIN/FIN), who with second place in Spain clinched the tenth one-two victory for Volkswagen in the WRC and staged a thrilling battle with their team-mates for the rally win. Going into the WRC finale at the Rally Great Britain, Ogier/ Ingrassia have extended their lead over Latvala/Anttila to 31 points. Only 28 of those can be reduced in three weeks' time. In the “mini final”, Andreas Mikkelsen/Ola Fløene also achieved an early result with seventh place in Spain – no one can push Andreas Mikkelsen out of third place in the drivers' standings.

The crowning glory: Ogier/ Ingrassia new kings of the rally world

World champions in the drivers' and co-drivers' standings for the second time in a row: Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia are only the fourth duo since 1977 to have successfully defended their title. This made the ninth time of popping champagne corks for Ogier and Ingrassia this season all the more special on the podium at the Rally Spain: Seven victories and two second places secured them the early title victory.

In 2013 Ogier and Ingrassia won the titles in the drivers' and codrivers' standings with Volkswagen. They are now the eighth duo to be added to the list of double world champions. Before them Walter Röhrl, Juha Kankkunen, Miki Biasion, Carlos Sainz, Tommi Mäkinen, Marcus Grönholm and Sébastien Loeb achieved more than one world championship title.

Icing on the cake: The battle of the season was the battle for the Rally Spain

Volkswagen Club of Western Australia (Inc) 1955 - 2015...our

Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia's team-mates didn't exactly make it easy for them to defend the title before the end of the season. Jari-Matti Latvala/ Miikka Anttila kept up the pressure until the finish line. It was clear going into the Rally Spain: If Ogier finished before Latvala, the title would be decided. If it was the other way around, the concluding Rally Great Britain would be the grand finale. An appropriately thrilling duel developed right up until the final day.

While Latvala/Anttila lost 36.6 seconds on gravel on Friday, on the following two days on asphalt they reduced this to 11.3 seconds bit by bit.

It’s all in the mix: Gravel and asphalt make for a unique challenge 138.54 kilometres on gravel, 234.42 on asphalt – the Rally Spain is a real challenge for driv(Continued on page 41)

ers, co-drivers and teams alike.

Besides needing a good feel for the gravel, total precision on asphalt is required – without any time for the drivers to adjust.

Also typically Spanish: On the gravel stages on Friday the clouds of dust stirred up hung around in the windless conditions between the hills and limited visibility. On Saturday the special stage “Escaladei” that was driven twice was a focal point of the Rally Spain. In unusually warm temperatures, the 50-kilometre longest stage pushed the asphalt tyres to their limits.

Record for Volkswagen: eleven victories in one WRC season Twelfth rally, eleventh victory – with the success at the Rally Spain, Volkswagen secured another top spot in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) rankings. Eleven victories in one season equals Citroën's previous two best results (2005 – eleven out of 16 rallies; 2008 – eleven out of 15 rallies). One rally before the end of the season and Volkswagen has already achieved the highest winning ratio in WRC history. At least eleven out of a possible 13 victories means a rate of 84.61 percent – a solitary top score.

XXL team performance: the mechanics’ rally The mechanics' performance at the Rally Spain was also recordbreaking. On Friday evening they modified the Polo R WRCs from a gravel to asphalt set-up in less than 75 minutes. Exactly how much effort is required, a task usually completed in an hour, is illustrated by the number of individual components that were

swapped. The mechanics swapped a total of 13 components that are made up of 1348 parts on each car – making a total of 4044 on all three Polo R WRC. The Rally Spain is the only rally on the WRC calendar that is held on both gravel and asphalt, and the service on Friday evening is the longest that is scheduled for the season.

Statistics update – the Rally Spain facts

have gone to drivers of a Polo R WRC 43 times on 24 power stages. At the Rally Spain, Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila bagged the three points for the best time, one went to Andreas Mikkelsen/ Ola Fløene.

“Congrats to Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia, they showed a strong performance here in Spain and deserve to be world champions. My co-driver Miikka and I tried to keep the fight for the title open for as long as possible. Unfortunately we lost too much time on gravel on Friday for us to be able to make up the deficit on asphalt. I was very happy with our performance on asphalt, but we still have some work to do on loose gravel. We'll deal with that when we are next testing, but first the whole Volkswagen team will party hard this evening.”
