Vic State Van titles 2008

Good luck on your event this weekend.

Just got back from a long day. Left home in solid rain, and got back in solid rain. It rained hailed and shined throughout the day. AWESOME to see plenty of vans not be put off by the weather.

Daz, Dot and Tracey WELL DONE!! You pulled together a great show, nice little warm up for the main event.

Great to meet more vanners, check out some great rides, and even get some results from my sign.

Highlights include: 2 regal vans, Original HJ + HX and 1 modified Sandman lined up, Bedfords, Fords, old n New, Faithful restored EH, Got the Van out and played with it, Meeting Jodie from Nova, and Mel And Jess. Had an excuse to clean my van, Got some more ideas too.

Great to see Vanning alive and very well here in Vic.

AWESOME Day, if you were not at the show, you missed a great show.

Mex

Did you get any pics Mex??

State titles was great, due to the only bad weekend of weather in our area in years the turn out was small but i hope everyone had a great time and the party went great aswell, as for $$$$ well didnt make any but got a lot of promotion for the Nats and may be a number more of new entrants. i will post a heap of pics later tonight. tho James or Mex or someone else might beat me to it..

I would like to thank all for thier great efforts & support in the event.. WELL DONE TO ALL THAT MADE IT too the Titles. Thanks again.

Film crew done a great Job ( will be a great DVD..)

Special thanks to Fres & Chrissy with thier help and for coming down, also to Kerry, Woody, Sam, Hannah & Douglas for the hard drive down, and to Russell & Suzie for coming all the way from QLD. Thanks guys was great to have you.

Here is a taste of what was there.











See my sign does work

What no photo of the Menace ? ??? now i'm upset.

no really thanks for coming Mex. was great to have you there and also thanks for posting the pics.

Looks like a great turn up Daz. (considering the weather)

Ditto Mex.... Left home in solid rain, and got back in rain. It rained hailed and shined throughout the day....

The turn out was a little disappointing considering what was meant to have shown up, however, considering the weather, it was a good turnout... if you get what i mean.
Anyhow, we had a ball in the end, yes it was windy, cold, hailing, sunny, windy, cloudy..... but those that were there were in good spirits (some in more ways than one). Was good to see some really good vans there, good to see the NSW showing some support too. Nice to meet some of the aka's from the forum as well...
Thank you to Dot & Tracy & Daz and anyone else who helped out and pitched in.... it was a great day.
Great pics Mex, i took some shots too, i'll fix them up and post them during the week....
thanks again xx

Thanks Daz, Dot and Tracey for putting on a great event. I really enjoyed it as did everyone i asked. Abig thank you must also go to the interstate vanners that made the time and effort to attend, well done guys for your committment. Well done also to the vanners that won awards. It was unfortunate the weather held back some entrants and the public but those that did not show up missed out and those that were there have gained that little bit more knowledge.

Was a good show... Weather was extremely lousy.

Made the trek down from Warrnambool.
Pity i was'nt driving a van though, sadly missed me old Hz.
Good too see a few new vans on the beat, & some regulars from Easter Nats.

Well done those that organized it... maybe next year I'll have a completed entry.

p.s. Any t-shirts left over - selling cheap????

34 more to come soon.

What a day for the weather, nearly being taken out by a shed in the middle of the highway on the way down between Melbourne & Geelong & the rain-x that worked a treat in solid rain that would make the hardcore surfers have second thoughts about coming out.
The effort we know that organizers put into these events to be held, the weather was not going to stop us from attending a good event.
Great to catch up with everyone & a huge effort by Daz, Dot & Tracey & all who helped out putting the day on. The Geelong Rodders with the BBQ & the effort of Interstate vanners driving down & others who flew in for their van fixes to the lovely promo models hmm hmm A great effort from our local vanners to attend in force, thank-you all for a great day.
Upon leaving we couldnot beleive the weather was a strong sunshine like it never rained the whole day, until we hit Melbourne again.
Then Tracie couldnot control herself having a 70km long race down the hwy with a hotted up Black WRX which she came out on top & was proud of herself no wonder my nerves are shot & l never had a drink thanks to James who refused to share its 10 weeks now Thanks to Kev for bringing back the frame for us... looking forward to the nats, l slept all Sunday exshausted.

Daz your the only bloke l know who got a photo of Entrant #17 Squirt at its natraul color as every other person l spoke to including my camera had it turn out blue

Thats great Daz,
Mel and Jess were hoping you would book them for easter. They might even bring some friends!!! KOOL

Hey when can we get copies of the video??

I will have the DVD in 3 to 4 weeks, but no one will get to see it untill they buy it at the nats.
