It was the women who shone last Saturday at Klub VW Sunshine Coast’s Luv a Dub event, taking out top awards for their beloved VWs.

Laila Cummings won Best of Show with her 1971 beetle which she has owned since she was 16 years old and restored over the years while trying to keep it as original as possible.

Leanne Hodges was over the moon to be presented with the Best Bus award for her meticulously renovated Kombi she calls Dixi, dedicating the win to girl power.

Leanne and husband Gary drove Dixi to the event from Hervey Bay in the Kombi’s first outing since its 18-month makeover.

Dixi is sure to become a regular feature at Hervey Bay where Leanne is a member of the Kombi Queens, a group of all-female Kombi owners who get together with their Kombis.

The annual Luv a Dub event brought together VW owners from across Queensland’s south east for a meet at Noosa Marina, a drive through the region, and raised more than $500 for the Surf Lifesaving Queensland.
