What a weekend in Martinborough — 37 cars, 60 legends, and one epic vibe. From Mk2s to Mk8s, the Wookie family turned it on once again.

While we’re a group built around our love for the VR6, we’re proud to be an inclusive community that welcomes all Volkswagen enthusiasts — from Rs to GTIs and everything in between.

Huge thanks to our amazing sponsors and supporters.

Nitrous Coffee kept everyone caffeinated all weekend, and BP Martinborough (Nathan & Matt) hooked us up with oils, hats, and top-tier service.

Some members travelled upwards of 2,000 km for the weekend — an unreal effort all round. Bring on Wookies in the Wild 2026.
