The V-Dub Spectacular came to town........

..........and on Saturday morning, Nambucca's main street was crammed full of Volkswagens of every shape, size and colour (rumoured to be 400 in number)!

They ranged from the beautifully restored........




to the restorer's dreams........




to the downright characterful..............



The main street was jam packed with cars and people - and oh what a beautiful day we had for the event!
This is winter for us!!


I hope you all have a wonderful week!

    1. Peter already has a 1929 Chevy C Cab truck sitting in the shed awaiting the restorer's dream! He doesn't need another anything!!
      And yes, it "looks" like winter is all but over - but don't get roped in - it could still turn nasty over the next 3 weeks!! hahahahaha
      Take care!! and many hugs

    1. Ilona - that's why I choose to live here!! I hate the cold weather and the northern hemisphere has too much of that for my liking!!
      I hope that the last weeks of summer are nice for you!!
