The annual Volkswagen Camp festival is one of the events that measure how much passion motoring enthusiasts have for their cars; others take it as far as spending more than what their vehicles cost on customs and that selected few define what owning a car means in terms of keeping it as standard as possible.

This year’s 2013 Vdub Camp Fest took place over two days at the Hartebeespoort Resort from the 2^nd to the 3^rd of Febuary. With temperatures reaching highs of up to 33°c, those who attended the event were sure to have spent a hot day with some of the hottest Vdubs. The weekend was packed with events and competitions that were set to find the best looking car in the Show and Shine event, and the loudest in the Sound competition which both competitions had the respective owners working hard in order to win a prize in their category. In terms of the sound competition a combination of, how many sound components one has in their vehicle, how they are put together within the interior of the car as well as the overall look of the car and quality in the sound which is produced was key for the prize.

Keeping a vehicle clean for the Show and Shine for the judging was a challenge due to the dusty conditions at the resort. It was important to use the best products that don’t attract & leave a layer of dust on the car which came from people coming over to check out the ride. One of the many eye catching rides at the event belonged to Vishen Ramdhani from Centurion, who is the proud owner of an Apple Green Volkswagen Caddy. Referring to it as a “Toy” Vishen estimates his customs to be worth approximately R60 000 excluding the price of his vehicle. His list of modifications include a Candy Apple green paint job, flared out wheel arches, custom rims, suede interior, an import 2.0 ABF engine and 3 LCD Screens :2 in the car and a detachable screen which he places in the bonnet for show purposes. The Vura 6 Club also came out in their numbers from all over the country, with 38 Jetta and Golf 3 VR6 models visiting the event.  Xolani Moyana Online Content Manager of the club travelled all the way from Kwa-Zulu Natal  to unite with country wide VW owners  

The event provided a good platform for those who are looking for ideas on how to customize and custom ride owners to network whilst creating competition amongst those who attended the event to win various prizes.  In a nutshell the German family showed its unity in numbers and variety at the 2013 Vdub Camp Fest.
