LoveMachines: Car Lovers Unite!
March 6, 2010 
We would like to invite all car lovers, especially Volksbuddies to participate and support the upcoming inter-club gathering dubbed, “LoveMachines: Car Lovers Unite!”. The event promises to be a huge gathering of other car clubs filled with fun and exciting auto racing events. A great opportunity to take photos too! Best time to meet other car afficionados from other car clubs.
Part of the proceeds will also go to help one of the racing icons of the country, Kookie Ramirez in his battle against the big C. Kookie’s been a friend and has been an instructor for many of us in driving clinics in the past. It’s time we show our support in these trying times for him.
So, don’t miss this event!

December 2, 2009The 24th VWCP All-VW Classic and Custom Show
December 6, 2009, Sunday at the Naval Parade Grounds, Fort Bonifacio, Global City. Starts at 8AM
UPDATE: 12/07/09
The turnout was great despite all the calamities that happened earlier this year. It was good to see the Vdubbers enjoy this day even if we had some real bad experiences. It was a time to tell our stories of how Ondoy devasted our community and how we coped, and how we got together to put all the bad things that happened behind and move on.
It was nice to see some cars already up and running but it was also sad to know that there are still some VDubs out there that have yet to recover. We miss them.
