Paul’s Ramblings > Paul Kinsey - VWCV Club President

Welcome to the September edition of the Wagensville News. An event to remember which occurred on Sunday 28th August was the cruise to Puffing Billy. This event was the brainchild of Matt Gardner who is a volunteer on the Puffing Billy railway and was the guard on our train. Thanks very much Matt for organising the day, which was full on and very enjoyable for all those who attended. The good news for this month is that after many months of trying by our Motor Sport co-ordinator, Jon Edsell, to get assistance in organising these events, we have a volunteer, John Farlow. Thanks very much for your assistance John and I hope you will find the role rewarding. Both Jon and John will be looking after motor sport for our Club. September will be a very busy month for events with the Winery Tour planned for Sunday 11th, the Cruise and Yum Cha scheduled on Sunday 25th. Also, we are less than a month away from the National VW Swap Meet on Sunday the 2nd October at the Bacchus Marsh Secondary College. This event is being organised by committee member Eric

Roberts. The number of sites booked thus far is less than for the same period last year, so if you want a site for this year, remember that if you book early, you save money. The event is always a very popular with all VW enthusiasts. As this month is the last as my period as President, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all committee members for their efforts during the year. Without their efforts and dedication, we would not have been able to bring to you a vast range of events over the year. I believe the Club is in a very sound financial position and ready for the new committee. For all those members interested in becoming involved in the committee, nomination forms are included in this month’s magazine. This leads me to our next meeting, which is the Annual General Meeting on the 20th September. We have some surprises for the meeting so the evening will be of interest to all. I’ll see you there on Tuesday 20th September. •

CAR STACKERS AUSTRALIA

General Meeting Mini Auctions > By Andrew Ermel Every General Meeting from now on will feature a ‘mini’ auction after the first break. Those who came to the last General Meeting had the opportunity to buy some very desirable VW bits and pieces on offer. These items included an oval Beetle steering wheel, hard to obtain books, car models and some rare memorabilia. The idea of the mini auction is to give you the opportunity to sell items to club members rather than having to advertise them. You can view the items during the break and speak to the potential sellers and buyers. Because it is an auction, it gives everyone a fair go at buying items. Also the club benefits if the item exceeds the seller’s reserve price. How does it work? If you have any bits and pieces that you want to sell, bring them along to the general meeting. The items must be small enough to be carried, reasonable condition and above all, clean. There will be a maximum of six items per mini auction. If more than six items are to be auctioned, the auction will be limited to one item per seller. You set the price you want for the item, and this becomes the reserve - and what you receive from the sale. The item is then auctioned to the members during the meeting. If the item fails to reach the reserve, it is withdrawn

from sale. If the item exceeds the reserve price, you get the reserve amount and the club get the remainder as a form of a donation. Also you may have something of value that you wish to donate to the club for auction, and the club would be most appreciative. So get those surplus items and make yourself some money. Remember the items can be of anything of interest to other club members. •

Puffing Billy Cruise > By Jen Littechild I’d forgotten how much fun it was to go on Puffing Billy until we had our club cruise on the 28th of August to Emerald and then all aboard the Puffing Billy to Gembrook. It was a brilliant day with a fantastic turnout of dubbs as always. Thank you so much to Matt Gardner for arranging the carriage and making sure everything went well for us all. What a conscientious Train Guard we had! It wasn’t hard for us all to see Matt’s other love in his life besides his Volkswagens. How lucky were we? The sun was shining for the first weekend in I don’t know how long, which just made the cruise and the ride on the train that much better. We arrived at Gembrook where they were holding their monthly country market. Luckily for our purses we had to head straight over to the heavily booked Gembrook pub for lunch as soon as we arrived. Thirty-two of us feasted a couple of hours away before heading off for a wander and then back to the train. One of us, namely me, made a snap last minute purchase before being last back on the train. OK - I can’t help myself, and my Wilma Flintstone handbag/doorstop/ planter/jewellery box/finger crusher… did give everyone a good laugh - I can take it. We are such a quick lot; I couldn’t believe the number of wacky ideas and innuendos that were thought of. Ross - I hope your fingers are OK now.

Not everyone went on Puffing Billy, some made their own way after chatting at the cars and having a wonder around Emerald. Some joined us at the pub. The Dandenong’s are such a picture right now with the spring flowers everywhere and so many great places to cruise to. It’s so nice to see new veedubbs at every cruise we have, and new people interested in joining our club. Don’t forget to look at the club calendar for our next cruise dates and come along for a run with us. •

VW Herbie Rides Again > From ‘The Whitehorse Leader’ August 2005 Xavier Larkin bought his beloved Volkswagen Beetle when he was just 13 years old. Now aged 17 and on his learner plates, the Surrey Hills lad has spent the past four years restoring it into a replica of the Volkswagen in the popular ‘Herbie’ films. Mary Larkin said her son’s eyes lit up every time he clamped his eyes on his car. “He can’t wait until he turns 18 so he doesn’t need to have his mother in the passenger seat,” Mrs Larkin laughed. Xavier’s passion was ignited at the age of three when he saw a movie with the famous Volkswagen Beetle up to its antics. Mrs Larkin said Xavier watched the film “hundreds of times.” Xavier was in the Royal Children’s Hospital for treatment for cystic fibrosis when he found his “dream car” on the internet. The owner waited until Xavier was discharged from hospital before selling him the car.

After the 40 year old car broke down on the way home, Mrs Larkin invested in a manual, and Xavier discovered he could do most of the work himself. “Over the next couple of years he set out to restore it,” she said. Xavier wanted to have his car completed by the time the latest ‘Herbie’ film, ‘Herbie: Fully Loaded’ was screened at the Dromana drive-in cinema. He was discharged from hospital three days before the screening and still had the racing stripes to put on. Mrs Larkin said her son was thrilled when six guys from the Volkswagen Club of Victoria, of which Xavier is the youngest active member, came around to help him finish the job. Xavier’s next challenge will be a 1963 Kombie bus. •

New European Number Plates... VicRoads has recently released a new type of number plate called 'Euro Plate.’ These plates have a similar layout and dimensions to the number plates made in Europe thereby making them ideal for European cars such as the ones owned by VWCV members. These plates complete your cars European feel, especially since the plate dimensions suit the car design. To mark the release of the 'Euro Plate' a special offer has been prepared for VWCV members. This promotion provides a 10% discount for all members who order the Euro-Plates through your club. This would mean that a standard Euro Plate would cost $355.50 (normally $395) and a personalised Euro Plate would cost $625.50 (normally $695). Contact VicRoads for details... •
