movements. I did, however, start up my Beetle after 3 weeks of it sitting idle. With 10 pumps of the accelerator pedal and full choke the powerful 1200cc motor burst into life. I just had to drive it around the block to keep the battery charged. Only three weeks to go and I’ll be able to take it on a proper run. Can’t wait. It’s nice being driven around by helpful members of the family but it is not like driving yourself. The Club’s next scheduled event is the ‘Christmas in July’ cruise on the 23rd of July, which is booked out. The cruise to Castlemaine on the 27th of August will follow the very successful cruise to Puffing Billy held last year. The Club has reserved the Tambo Parlor Car at the end of the train so we should have a great time all together. Details are also included in this issue. We are fast approaching the time for the election of the committee for the next 12 months. Details will be appearing in next month’s magazine. If you are interested in joining the committee and having a more direct say in the functioning of the Club, please follow the directions to nominate.In addition, if you wish to get a better understanding of the positions on the committee, please either talk to myself or any committee member. We will only to willing to assist I’ll see you soon. •

Welcome to the July edition of the Wagensville News. Firstly, we must apologise for non-issue of the June edition of the Wagnesville News. This was due to the terminal failure of the Editor’s computer, which has resulted in Matt having to purchase a new one. The good news is that the computer has arrived and the July edition should be out on time. As I write this report, the Club members who visited Central Australia should be returning from their 21 day adventure, so we should hear all the stories at the next General Meeting. I have been out of action for the last month, having been in hospital for a small operation. I must thank Vice-President Michael Cronin for standing in for me at the last couple of meetings. I should be mobile again in about three weeks so I’ll see you then. The worst problem is that I can’t drive for 6 weeks so that certainly restricts my

Christmas inJuly Cruise

Due to an overwhelming response, the Christmas in July cruise is now booked out. So, to those who were lucky enough to book early the following information is of importance. On Sunday 23rd of July we will meet at the Deer Park BP servo on the Western High-way (opposite Burnside Shopping Centre) from 10am for a 10.30am departure. The cruise will continue along the Western high-way to Bacchus Marsh, then across the Great Dividing Range to the picturesque township of Gisborne via the scenic Bacchus Marsh - Gisborne Road (C704). From Gisborne we will travel to Riddells Creek and Monagetta via Kilmore Road (C708). Turning right onto highway C325 will then get us to Clarkefield for our Christmas in July lunch. The cruise route carries very light traffic (after Bacchus Marsh) so a convoy of vehicles should not create any major hazards. The total distance covered from Deer Park to Clarkefield is approximately 90 kilometres and should take about an hour and twenty minutes. Therefore, it is estimated we should arrive at Clarkefield around midday. Upon arrival at the 1857 Coach and Horses Inn we will proceed to our private olde worlde function rooms. Each room will have a roaring open fire and will be decorated with customary Christmas trimmings. Don’t forget the outstanding amount payable for the luncheon will be $22.50 per person (drinks at own cost). During the afternoon the door prizes will be given away to lucky recipients thanks to the VWCV.

Overall, it should be quite a novel way to spend a mid winter Sunday afternoon. Why not dress yourselves or even your car to really get into the festive spirit? Look forward to seeing you all on the day. •

The Bug-In had rolled around again and for the first time we were going in convoy. The early hours of Friday saw Michael and I at the Ermels. Stuart Ermel was trucking Andrew’s Beetle and towing my 1500 Beetle. Michael and I piled into the truck and were ready to travel. The cabin of the truck was much roomier and more comfortable than I’d expected. Ross and Mercedes had their New Beetle and Chris Antonelli was driving Red Bus with Andrew and Cheryl as co-driv-ers. The drive was uneventful and at times wet. Seven hours after leaving Melbourne we found ourselves

at Swanport in excellent accommodation metres from the Murray River and 7 kilom-eters from Murray Bridge. Registration night gave everyone a chance to catch up and check out Bug-In merchandise. Saturday morning started bright and early as Red Bus and Ross and Mercedes Beetle were ready for the show and shine. Off we went with Andrew’s Beetle in the lead. Unfortunately it lost all gears before we made it to the freeway. Red Bus and the New Beetle headed off and left Andrew, Chris, Michael and I to put matters in order. My con-tribution consisted of good advice they de-cided to ignore... A big thank you to Margaret and Peter who saw a Beetle in distress on the freeway and came to help. After much hard work the Beetle was loaded onto the truck and retired from all events. We got into the B car (my 1500) and set off. The Show and Shine was right on the Murray and well attended. Next stop for the day was Montaro Zoological Park. It is an open plains zoo where we were bused around with our very own tour guide. The tour went for over an hour and was informative and very enjoyable. Time had gotten a little away from us and

we were running late for the River Cruise dinner. Christine

and Bernard convinced the cruise boat to wait

for us, then off we went for a leisurely

trip down the Murray. The meal was terrific and I

even managed to win a prize in

the raffle

(a 1.5 litre bottle of shiraz). Things became very interesting after that, as the cruise boat continued straight past the dock where we were to get off. The boat had lost reverse gears, and proceeded to do donuts in the middle of the river for the next ten minutes. After much calling for diesel mechanics the boat was rammed into the bank and ropes were used to pull it to dock. Never before had I been to a more exciting Bug-In. Sunday was race day. Michael, Andrew and Chris, now all competing in B car, were ready to race. I was a little nervous as to how the car would perform, but it came through beauti-fully, not just in the Motorkhana but the Auto-cross as well. Then it was time to scrub up and head to the presenta-tion night. Ross had detailed his New Beetle into a win-ning position. Robert Busselmann sashayed his way around the Autocross track to win a prize as well. A special congratulation goes to Henny and Phil Southam who had life

memberships bestowed upon them by the South Australian Club. Congratula-tions also to all of the other winners. I had a great time and can hardly

wait for next year’s inaugural Tasmanian Bug-In. Book now! •

Today’s tyres employ a combination of natural and synthetic rubber compounds to achieve the required combination of grip, wear life and heat resistance levels demand-ed by a particular tyre’s design application. These compounds involve complex chemical interactions which, like all rubber, undergo subtle changes with time. To a very large degree, the environmen-tal conditions to which rubber is subjected will determine the effect these changes have on any particular tyre. These effects can of course be reduced by the addition of certain chemicals to the compounds, which does occur, however rubber manufacturers are yet to develop a compound which does not suffer any ageing effects.

Ozone CrackingExposure to ozone accelerates the ageing of the surface of the rubber, resulting in a series of fine cracks. The areas of rubber below the surface are generally unaffected, however given sufficient time these cracks may propagate deeper into the tyre. Long term exposure to sunlight, or to other high ozone environments such as in the vicinity of electric motors, are the main causes of ozone damage. Severe ozone damage is not common, and generally tyres are well and truly worn out before ozone damage is sufficiently severe to warrant scrapping the tyre.

The Effects of Heat on Tyre AgeingHeat and pressure are of course used to cure rubber as part of the manufacturing process. Prior to curing the compound is ‘plastic’ in its behaviour - i.e. it flows when subjected to an applied force. Curing promotes ‘cross-linking’ of the polymer chains, resulting in an elastic material which deforms when subjected to an applied force and bounces back to its original shape when that force is removed. Modulus of elasticity is a measure of the ability of rubber to deform and return to its original size and shape without tearing. A ‘harder’ compound has a higher modulus. Rubber ‘Blooming’ - The Release of SulphurSulphur is one of the main ingredients of rubber which creates polymer cross linking. As the tyres ages, sulphur loses its chemi-cal bond and migrates from the compound (known as ‘blooming’). Blooming reduces the resilience of the compound, resulting in higher heat generation - which is, of course, the number one enemy of tyres and can quickly result in belt (or other) separation. Compound additives to reduce blooming are of course included in modern tyres, however a suitable compound which totally resists blooming is yet to be developed. •

VWCV 2006Club Concourse

> Andrew Ermel - VWCV Club Secretary

an old red rattler. The area that we were allocated at the park was just perfect for our concourse and could have easily fitted up to 100 vehicles. I hope that we can get a booking again in the future for this venue as it very easy for most people to get to and made for a well attended day for the Club. We also had some new VW enthusiasts join our Club on the day and I would like to welcome them. I would like to thank Ross Woolley who had his membership computer with him and assisted members on the day with their re-newals and also attended to the new joining members. The cars were all of a very high standard this year and it was good to see some new vehicles out for the first time at the con-course. Judging for the standard cars took into consideration such things as correct style materials used for the interior of the cars and original parts and finishes to engine bays and engines in particular. However, the judges “went easy” when marking the vehicles on paint cleanliness and under body road dirt as the wet day made it difficult for the participants to keep their cars clean.

We all arrived at Eltham Lower Park for the concourse around 10am to find about six cars already lined up. The Club was allocated an area that had ample room to park cars and to put up the Club site. With the weather looking ominous, a humungous tarp was produced, just in time to shelter everyone from the rain. The rain did not dampen the spirits and people just moved from their cars, to under the tarp to continue socialising and drinking hot drinks provided by the Club. The VWCV also provided a free BBQ consisting of sausages and hamburgers for lunch. In true Melbourne fashion, the weather fined up in the afternoon, allowing for mem-bers to take advantage of the sunshine to ride the miniature railway, utilise the walking tracks and maybe take a pony ride. Some of the small children among us even had a lovely ride on a special train that looked like
