South Coast Nationals....
So who's coming to Moruya on August 24/25?
It'd be cool to meet/catch up with anyone that's going to be there.

Re: South Coast Nationals....
OK, so My Wife and I were there both days in the van (gotta think of a good name for him) and had a great time.
Saturday was show 'n shine day, my van didn't shine much, but people still wanted to talk about it and vans in general and a few even took pics of it! I left it open all day with a surfboard hanging out the back and it just looked ready for a trip to the beach. I'm amazed how many people had a story to tell about their old van or an event in their life that included a van, even women with the obvious "lost my virginity in one".
Sunday was a laid back, informal sort of gathering plus a swap meet. We'd never taken anything to sell at a swap meet before (too busy buying stuff!) but this time we loaded up the van with leftover car parts from cars long gone and came home about $800.00 better off. Now the new exhaust is going to be happening much quicker, maybe tomorrow.
Great weekend, thoroughly recommend it for next year.

Re: South Coast Nationals....
Vanning has never really been dead its just been pushed aside
for other things ,like pro street builds family's mortgages ,
You just don't realise it until you get back into it ,and
Especially at shows when you people talking about there old vans...

Re: South Coast Nationals....
Yeah Sam,
I drove home today from town after my Auto Electrician gave me the bad news about my air con and I swung by the local beach for a quick look. I saw a mate and stopped to talk for a minute and next thing I had about 10 people all wanting to talk vans! It reminds me so much of the old days.
Vans are like GTHO falcons...... everyone owned a show - winning Sandman in 1978!
