The Day of the Volkswagen 2013
Yarra Glen Racecourse
Sunday 20 October 2013
 
The entry arrangement is the same as for last year.  As you approach along Armstrong Grove, you will see a gate on the right with turnstiles just past that gate.  (The main entry gate is further on and further off the road.)  We use the first gate.  Have your entry details ready to show and you can then drive straight in.  Our area is the strip on the right side of the gate.  We share it with 2WD T3’s but separate them further down the hill.

These are the final arrangements for the 2013 DOTVW.  

As you approach up Armstrong Grove, take the first gate alongside the area marked Syncro Parking; do NOT take the gate marked Entry Gate.

Since we do our own Show and Shine judging, you do NOT need to go through the judging lane.

(Note that we are the only model group to have its own dedicated area – the Syncro stands alone!!!!

Les, what do you think about me bringing a big steel ramp or two to the DOTVW and  having my syncro up in the air? Greg E

The Day of the Volkswagen 2013

Yarra Glen Racecourse

Sunday 20 October 2013

 

 

This is a special event for the VW Club of Victoria - the world's oldest VW club with a known continuous existence - because it is the 60th anniversary of the establishment of Volkswagen in Australia, when VAG opened its first office in Melbourne. 

 

 

We have the same excellent display area on the hill overlooking the whole venue.  (This is down to the fact that I am a member of the VWCoV and I am on the organizing committee.)

 

 

 

 

 

The arrangements are the same as they have been previously.  Go to the Volkswagen Club of Victoria website and enter your vehicle for the Show and Shine.  This gets your Syncro and two adults inside (children are free) to join the Syncros on the hill display.  If you need any further information, please ask.

Greg,

That’s a good idea.  Please do.

Like your thinking Greg, from memory , your van's underside is worth displaying. Eddie.

Hi Jon B.

 

I forgot to take a picture of your bike carrier, would you know the brand?

 

Cost Mefro rims order organised by Francesca was $524.00 for a set of 5 with nuts.

 

Cheers

Theo

Hi Les,

 

Thanks for organising our setup again.

Another great turn-out with a few new faces.

 

Cheers

Theo

Hi Theo,

It is Fiamma T3 Carry Bike. Fits two bikes but you can buy an extra mount for the 3rd.

Got it from Just Kampers although the price seems to have gone up since:


This is the third bike kit:




I also forgot to quiz you about tyres and Mefro rims. What tyres did you go for and how do you find them?

Thanks.

Jon.

Jon,

 

Thanks for that info, certainly a solid setup.

 

Roger Bayley and Francesca's done all the leg work for the tyres  "FIRESTONE DESTINATION A/T  LT 205/75R15".

Quality wise - so far so good, I haven't done too many km on them. Around town I use the Merc. wheels.

 

Cheers

Jon,

 

The second-hand Merc. wheels.  I saw quite a few Vans with Merc. wheels at the weekend.
