    Morgan, South Australia.

    Saturday will begin with a Cruise starting from the Blanchetown Service Station at 11am.
    Hopefully Dubbers coming up from Adelaide will meet at a start point at Moppa Road Nuriootpa about 10am and travel up together to Blanchetown.
    The Cruise will travel to Waikerie by Midday for lunch and sightseeing and then through to Morgan in the arvo.
    There are 3 possible routes to Morgan each with a ferry crossing. Participants will be able to chose which way suits their vehicle best as some of the ferry ramps are pretty sharp.
    We are hoping to try a Kombi Cram on the Cadell Ferry (aim is for 10 Kombis!)
    The Mark 1 Golf Guys are going to try for the same on the Morgan Ferry.

    Saturday night we have organised a fellow Dubber musician to do a gig at one of the local pubs.
    Camping and Accommodation is available at Morgan. The Sunday Picnic BBQ is right alongside the caravan park unpowered camping area so those staying there won't even have to move their cars. There are local Motels, BnBs and Hotel Rooms and the Caravan Park has cabins available.

    Sunday is a day to relax and socialize on the lawns by the River Murray with a Picnic or BBQ, there are also plenty of takeaway food options available.
    This is a social, non club event to enjoy getting together with other Dubbers. No show and shine is planned but last year plenty of locals and people travelling passed came over to look and chat.

    More info will be added at  https://www.facebook.com/#!/Dubs-By-The-River-1727775030793463/ as we get more organised.

    Went to Day of the VW at Modbury last Sunday.
    Fuel pump issue at Riverton on the way down but sorted it out.
    Pretty warm day but with a good number of cool Dubs.

    3 weeks ago really.
    Went down to Swan Reach for a camping weekend ith the folks.
    On the way home the motor cut out. Seemed like it was vaporising. On top of that, the slighlty sloppy rotor button became a rotates where it wants rotor button. The small tag that locates it on the distributor shaft broke. Try getting a rotor button for a 71 VW 1600 on a Sunday.
    Result. RAA truck from Blanchetown to Wakerie. Night in the tent at Wakerie Caravan Park. Try getting a motel with an 11 year old...

Oh no it's black not red brown! But it fits and the Notch is alive again!

Went to use the spare complete distributor that I stashed in the spare wheel well in the back of the kombi (along with all my other spares) only to find that the spare wheel well was half full of water and my spare parts were little more than a rusty mess
