Melbourne Syncro Get-together

1

Thanks to Francesca, eight Syncros met in the Edinburgh Gardens today.  This is as many as we had to early DOTVW meetings!  We had:

Francesca, Anthony and their two boys

Greg and Alice + two children,

Campbell and Melissa + two children

Theo and Christine

Eddie Bergodaz

Gary Cookson

Roger Bell

Plus Brian and his T5.

A further Melbourne get-together is planned for 6-8 weeks time and a night away or weekend away is being considered for later in the year.

Well done to the Mexican chapter!
 
8 syncros is not our record but excellent anyway.
 
Cheers,
 
Scott

Scott,

That was only today.  We have had more at the VW Club of Victoria DOTVW and I think that there are far fewer Syncros in Victoria than NSW.  We would love to know how many Syncros there are in Australia and just where they are.

I also enjoyed today's get together and thanks to those those who shared their  tasty nibbles around. Would like to see some photos posted when people have time as I forgot my camera. Judging by the very young babies present, Syncros must aid fecundity.
 
A piece of trivia. Greg and I were comparing notes on our 1992 models which must be among the last made as I understand European RHD production ceased after LHD . Both have Aug 92 build date plates attached (by the importer?), both were first registered in Dec 1992, both were sold by Regent Motors Perth and although Greg bought his in Queensland and I bought mine in Perth both were side by side today in Fitzroy Victoria. And you know something ? (sorry I have Prime Ministerial delusions ) they have consecutive  engine/chassis numbers so when they came down the production line in Austria together they must have agreed to have a reunion  18 years later in Fitzroy Australia.  - But the most unbelievable coincidence is they are both painted white!
 
Cheers
Roger

Thanks again to Francesca for organizing was great to see everyone and I second the thanks for the nibbles.

And speaking of fecundity, Deb Kofahl, Alice Esposito and Melissa Miller have all produced baby girls in the last couple of months…

Congratulations proud parents.

You should be able to attach the pics direct to the email if you have an Insert function on your email page, which inserts into the text, or the attach function, which adds it to the bottom of the email.

(And I appear to have got the gender of the baby wrong – sorry!)
