Three mates Paul Fleming, Bob Morrow and Matt Berry launched their first Noosa VW Show seven years ago as a three day event with a display of vehicles and social gatherings across Habitat Noosa and the Apollonian Hotel.
Last weekend because of COVID19 restrictions the KLUB VW Sunshine Coast event was scaled back to a morning display at Noosa Marina, a Noosa cruise and an informal get together at Land and Sea Brewery.Paul Fleming said it was nostalgia that attracted people to the VW which brought back memories of the lifestyle surrounding it.
“People remember being around VW in their day. They always broke down but people managed to bring them home,“ he said.
Following the display at the marina participants joined in a surf wagon cruise around Noosa before heading to Land and Sea Brewery for an informal afternoon get together.Other plans took on a different direction this year. While Matt Berry had plans to throw himself into his Motorsports Air Cooled garage at Cooroy an illness has halted his ambition but his mates Paul and Bob have leapt in to help joining forces to take on the business for him.
The weekend event also raised funds for the Sunshine Coast Surfrider Foundation.
