| A few of the outcast members at our usual meeting place ready for the cruise over to The House of Dub. The red beetle belongs to Elliott, who is a H.O.D. member, but came to Aylesbury just to join the cruise back to the House of Dub.! |
 |
| Access to the Globe Inn is via a small single track road, which goes over the Grand Union canel and then you have to drive down the towpath.. it's not for the faint hearted. |
 |
| Kevin was part of our convoy in his green and cream T4. This is such a nice looking bus. |
 |
| This is ideal for Kevin and his family to enjoy the odd day out here and there and even if they choose to stay over somewhere. |
 |
| Kevin proudly displays the HOD logo in his windscreen. |
 |
| Elliott was also part of our convoy in his super clean cherry red beetle. This is one of those cars that always looks so clean. |
 |
| Great reflections in the deep gloss paint. |
 |
| A new addition was this single yellow spot light. This really does set the front off of his 1970 beetle nicely. |
 |
| Steve and Pauline came over to the HOD for the first time in their surfer / skater style bug. Hope you both enjoyed your first visit to the club meet, and hopefully we'll see you both again soon. |
 |
| Loving the surfboards on the roofrack. I'd like something like that for my bus. |
 |
| Richard was at the meeting quite early in his very low, bright red Polo. |
 |
| This is so low, it must be quite a challenge to get down the single track road to the pub. |
 |
| Dan and Simon came along in their equally low Golf. |
 |
| This early rat looking rag top beetle belongs to Steve, and I think I'm right in saying that is was once the cover car on a VW mag. I just love those semaphore indicators. |
 |
| OK, it's a bit ratty looking but that, I think, just add's to its cool look. |
 |
| Spike came along in the House of Dub work- horse vehicle, an army green VW passat which is of course, lowered. |
 |
| Andrew came along in his super cool buggy, which is very loud. |
 |
| If you look closley at the roll bar you can see a bracket for a video camera. Andrew made a short video of his journey to the club meet. Check out Andrews mini road trip on you tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2hOF7TJBWM&feature=youtu.be |
 |
| Zoe was there of course in 'Donkey' her '67 two tone beetle. |
 |
| Such a lovely looking car. Zoe was saying she was thinking of giving 'Donkey' a full resto. I can understand why, so it will last another 46 years, but it just looks so cool as it is. |
 |
| Small hand painted touches like this make this car, what it is. |
 |
| A regular at the club meets now is Phil and his son, Nathan. They came in Phil's lovely looking beetle named 'Buzz Box' |
 |
| Nice photo showing how straight Phil's bug really is. This also has a factory fitted steel sunroof. |
 |
| A new face to the meet was Alan, in his super cool looking early bug. I just love the stance of this beetle. |
 |
| I like the colour, the US style bumpers, the steel wheels.. in fact I like everything about this bug. |
 |
| I believe this bug requires a little work, but what '66 bug doesn't? |
 |
| Another new face to the club meet was Simone who came in her brilliant white '72 beetle. |
 |
| Another vehicle that needs some TLC from Spike at the H.o.D but it was great to see Simone and her beetle named 'Bea' at the club meet. Hopefully see you there again. |
 |
| Yet more new faces at the club were Deborah and Brendan (AKA the Ampthill mob) who after 5 years of putting it off, finally decided to join us. So glad you did guy's. |
 |
| Deborah's and Bendans '78 late bay in a sort of sand colour with white top, with pop top and 5 spoke empi wheels.. very nice. |
 |
| Mark left his bay at home and came down in his Golf convertible, I don't blame him, it's not often we get the sun so you have to make the most of it when we do.! |
 |
| Very clean, straight and tidy, what more could you want. |
 |
| It was definatley beetle night at the House of Dub club meet this month. |
 |
| A very good variety of vehicles made it such a good night, along with the owners of course. |
 |
| Ash came along later in the evening in his red T4. It was nice to see Ash who can't always make it to the club meetings. |
 |
| Nice shiny front wing Ash, just the rest of the body to go now.! (only joking mate) |
 |
| Yet more new faces at the club, this time it was John who came in his white T4. I had a quick chat to John who said he was just in the progress of prepping the body for a re-spray. Hopefully next month it'll look completely different. |
 |
| Preperation is the name of the game, the better the prep work, the better the paint finish. |
 |
| John brought his mate Matt along, in his T4. Another work in progress vehicle, with more prepping of the bodywork, but it's got to look worse before it looks better. Hope to see you both again at the HOD and the Outcast club meets. |
 |
| Matt has done a lot of body prepping on his T4, which I'm sure will look great once it's painted. |
 |
| A regular at the club meet is Ben and his lovely white T5. This is such a lovely bus, which Ben has done a lot of work on. So that was the House of Dub June monthly meet. It was definitely Beetle themed this month, which is great as normally they are a bit thin on the ground. Overall a great night with good friends, old and new.. by the way, a personal apology to Simone and Brendan and Deborah for not saying hello, but it was a bit busy and I got caught up. Hopefully see you all next month to make amends. |
