Speaking of events, don’t forget the May general meeting is at Ray’s Outdoors, not the RACV Club. This will be a quick meeting and then time to look at all the good gear, so even if you don’t need anything come along to Ray’s and talk VW’s.

Why get another one you may ask? well, I can finally do the desperately needed work on my other Kombi and still have a real VW to take to events instead of my highly modified beetle (Daewoo Lanos). See you at Ray’s and the Concourse.
To everyone waiting for the new club plate system to come through, unfortunately we have no updates yet,
