Remember you don't have to bring a Kombi but great if you can

COLA CAFE STIRLING ST TOODYAY

Anytime from say 10.30AM - no set time-lunches are also available as well as other places in Toodyay.- Perth Metro members may like to join up on way and drive together but that can be organised individually.
Cola Cafe welcomes pets and also caters well for kids.

Although this is a Kombi Konnection event all Kombi owners and would be owners are welcome including forum members from AVD, KC, DSK , Lowlight and AVD.

Remember your input can help other Kombi owners to enjoy the world's best people mover and camper.

Map/directions from Midland to Toodyay. Toodyay RD takes you straight through-ignore directions in sidebar though distances are ok.

It looks like Gary Gibbs will ba able to make it and have a look at your bus and give rough idea on rust and / or paint.

BJ

Brookie you do a top job on this site and I look forward to meeting you. I am coming and plan to get there at about 11am. I will be in my split and I am rallying some more people to attend too.

See you there hopefully you get a good turnout.

Brookie

Westair

Looks like 20 plus including a round Australia Kombi Smile

and it will be great to hear their stories.
Don't forget you don't have to bring a Kombi- ours won't be mobile by then and there will be quite a few others still working or still trying to find "their" Kombi.

--------------------------------------------------------

Diddlie

Thank heavens for kombiless enthusiasts!

Brookie

Numbers still building- could you confirm here with numbers inc kids or e-mail

wacoffeemeet@hotmail.com

We need to advise Cola Cafe.

Thanks

---------------------------------------------

Diddlie

The rest of my mob may be a bit sweaty and stinky when we get there as they are doing a 4km fun run at Butler at 8am! Its usually the weekend before but its been changed this year.

Brookie

Cool drive through the hills will fix that.

Confirmations coming in- I will have to warn Cola cafe Cool

Brookie · ..........and parking

Looks like 25-30 people plus kids -not sure of Kombi numbers but will try and organise with owners of vacant block across the road from Cola Cafe as Kombi Parking only- It was reserved for a Car Club when we went to another make Coffee Meet at Cola Cafe.
Will try and get to Toodyay within next few days and check it out.

------------------------------------------------------------

Tiger

guys. sorry about this. but i'm in sydney now for the 4th. if send in a picture cut out of e & freckles.. i'll still be there.

have a good time guys.

rOOster.

Brookie · UPDATE

Have spoken to Freemasons Hotel, which is historically listed classic heritage hotel and they have allowed Kombi Konnection permission to park Kombis on adjoining block. This is opposite Cola Cafe.
The Freemasons is well known and popular with tourists and groups as well as local community.

They do very nice counter lunches as well as refreshing drinks.
This link has details of hotel , photos and map

I will add photo later today or tomorrow.

----------------------------------------------

Diddlie

Will we be able to park non kombis if we stick one of the flyers in the window?

Brookie

Diddlie

I'm going to make some name tags as suggested by Riley on KK so we will all know who we are talking to, or who to talk to if someone is looking a bit lost (that'll probably be me!)

Yes hopefully I will have the Diddliebus at the next meet (don't make it too soon ha ha)

Brookie

Sounds good Diddlie- I think I had some stick on tags somewhere as well.

The parking for Kombis is grassed and will display them nicely. I suppose we should let the splitties take pride of place in front row Very Happy

Toodyay could become like some of the ES venues for Kombi and other VWs.

Just imagine next time

"TYPE 2s AT TOODYAY"

Brookie

Still haven't managed to get photos of parking/display- my camera was not co-operative so waiting on daughter who had new one and will download once she learns to drive it. Very Happy

Thanks to Archeress we hope to have Kombi Konnection stickers available.

---------------------------------------------------

Brookie

Brookie

Weather for Sunday looks marvellous 30ºC in Perth and 27-29ºC in Toodyay- Fine no rain expected.

------------------------------------------------------

Brookie

Confirmed reservation numbers with Cola Cafe-
Should be a great turn up from KK, VWCWA, lowlight, DSK, NoH20, KC and a few non forum members.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Diddlie

Don't forget the sunscreen everyone!

WAY2COOL

kombicam · Cannot wait till Sunday

The kids are keen so will try to locate the servo that some are meeting up at and hopefully see you there and enjoy the cruise up..has a time been sorted to meet at the servo????
See you there...
Cam and the kids

Brookie

Not sure but there is phone contact about 3 posts back

---------------------------------------------

WAY2COOL

Good morning Cam
We'll be at the servo around 10,and of course on mobile ,as above. Catch ya ..Kim

Brookie

ONLY ONE MORE SLEEP-

Sunday weather forecast in Perth to be 30º and Toodyay similar-no rain expected.

Roads should be fairly clear as the unlucky people who don't have Kombis will be watching the Air Race Very Happy

---------------------------------------------

sneak_e

Can we get a final location and time to meet up as I have invited a couple of other friends but want to tell them where to meet to cruise up there?

Brookie

I think from previous posts that the Caltex Service Station on Toodyay Rd just off Roe H'way is the proposed link up point. It is on right about 200 metres after crossing rail line from memory.

_______________________________________

Diddlie

My eldest has managed to wriggle out of it and scammed an invite to the air race with his friend. Honestly, my brainwashing isn't quite complete!

Brookie

Update Toodyay 29º and sunny.

If any cruising a photo of Kombis coming up Red Hill on Toodyay Rd would look great.

---------------------------------------------

kombicam

meeting at the servo 10 am sounds good, I will put that detail onto the other forum so others know.....

Brookie

Back from Coffee Meet early- Westair couldn't make it due to dreaded "lurgy" she is just getting over.
40+ including kids -19 Kombis in car park and a few came without Kombis.
It was a great day and to see a dozen or so Kombis inclding Splitties, Lowlights, DCs, bus and poptops arriving in convoy down main street abd turning corner in front of Cola cafe and Visitors Centre was classic.

Some photos coming up.

Gabbo's Run

Great stuff warren, would have been a pleasant site indeed to see all the
kombis around, Cant wait to see some pics and comments from other members. Well done mate to you all, finally a wa gathering.

brian and cathy Very Happy

Brookie

Thanks Brian & Cathy,
Some photos up under new heading.
Gary Gibb who is one of our recommended repairers even turned up to have a look at how people love their Kombis.

Toodyay Visitors Centre Manager was also impressed but there will be a separate post re that body.

----------------------------------------

Piratekombi

I just looked at the photos in the other thread, and they look great! It looks like there was a big turn-out, with some great-looking kombis there, filling the space... sunny day, in front of a great-looking building... well done everyone, and I am looking forward to more photos..! Smile

Piratekombi

Were all 19 kombis from WA? That is certainly a lot of kombis in one place! Smile

Gabbo's Run

woz, we will find out later. But i would not mind betting one was from melbourne.

brian

Piratekombi

I thought I recognised their kombi! Very Happy

Diddlie

We have just got back and I'm off to work shortly so haven't got time to post the piccies that my now enthusiastic 8 year old took but will do them tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone who came and a huge thanks to Warren for making it happen, it was a lovely relaxed day, didn't get a chance to talk to everyone there but those I did were tops, Oscar was being a bit ferral but next time ply him with a supply of lollies.

Oh by the way all the kombis looked fab, it was great to see them all together.

Di

Kinga

Scotia

Brookie

They disappear from your post when next post happens,- that is why it is a freehosting forum- this may change in future.
