The Volkswagen Beetle
Owners Club held its 13th Annual Pride of Ownership drive recently.
The Pride of Ownership drive has carried on “defiantly” for the past 13 years
and has become the main event in the Club Calendar. Beetles of all ages and shades flock from all
parts of the country, and since last year even from the very north being
Jaffna, make it to this “all Important event that is held traditionally on the
last Sunday in March every year.
As one of the members
stated, ”Happiness is a VW” and indeed it has been for many generations of the
owners that have been proud to own such a car. As the President of the Club, Mr
Peter Jasinghe endorses, “This “strength through joy” car absolutely brings joy
to all of us who own it and it has been loved by all generations.”
This year’s event brought
out surprises as the venue for the event was the Golden Mile along Beruwala. Over
50 cars participated where they showed off their shining VWs. All this would
not be possible without the kind assistance of LOLC Motors who were the
main-sponsors of this unique event.
“Naturally,
we're very proud of our heritage - few car manufacturers have produced so many
legendary cars as Volkswagen. We think the best way to honour this legend is to
celebrate it at the hotel. Its pioneering efforts to sustainability and eco
friendliness are just up our street hence which is why we are proud to
celebrate World Volkswagen Day the only car that has an international
significance,” states Mr Anura Dewapura, General Manager MLH.
Await “World
Volkswagen day” celebrations to be held on June 24th 2012. It is to
begin at a historic site in Colombo and end at the Iconic Mount Lavinia Hotel.
All those who are
interested in participating in the event could call the Secretary Mr.Nalin
Perera on 0770333444 for further details.
