Flat Nats 2019

October 19, 2019 @ 7:00 am October 20, 2019 @ 7:00 pm NZDT

The VW Owners Club have been invited to participate in the Flat Nats 2019 event , organised by the New Zealand Subaru owners.

What is Flat Nats?    

Let’s start with the name.  ‘Flat’ refers to the flat or boxer engine car.  ‘Nats’ is short for the Nationals.  Our Facebook page is here https://www.facebook.com/flatnats/

When did Flat Nats start?

Flat Nats started in 2015 in recognition of the strong Subaru community we have in NZ.  Subaru enthusiasts from all over the country travelled to Manfeild for a 2 day boxer bonanza!  The event was a huge success.  Event organisers had a strong message from the Subaru community to do it again.

Flat Nats 2019 Theme:

An invitation to all boxer/flat engine car enthusiast clubs to join the National Subaru community in a celebration of the one thing we all have in common…….our love for boxers!
