In all probability it may be the only
automobile brand that has been given the worldly “honors”. And indeed it was
200 participants made the event a spectacular success. This year, the Club
“spotlighted” two great personalities who brought fame to the VW Beetle, one in
the race circuit being Mr.Upali Kapilasena who for many years thrilled the
speed fans in his delightful Bug. The other is a personality from the ”fairer”
gender who was somewhat an ardent supporter of “women liberation” right from
her days at University who carries on her social activities to date. Mrs Kamini
Vitharana was a pioneer Lady VW Driver from the early fifties who too took onto
the lectern to speak a few words of the delights of the Bug.
This was a very nostalgic event to the VW
Family as it brings out fond memories that many owners have shared in their
little Bug and to most from their childhood. VW owners of all ages come
together to make this event “warm and friendly” in true form of the “Peoples
Car”. The event began at Independence Square and ended at MLH.
The General Manager of MLH, stated “MLH has
always been supportive of events as such and we are privileged to celebrate it
at our premises and we will continue to celebrate the events of the Peoples Car.”
Those who are interested to join the many
celebrations that are yet to come please contact the Club Secretary Mr.Nalin
Perera on 077-0333444, of the VW Owners Beetle Club.
