I arranged to meet a couple of mates in the usual meeting place so we could cruise over to the show together. Phil's red bug, Steve's white bug, and my bay. |
This gorgeous deep red Karmann Ghia is owned by one of the Wolsburg Weed Hugger's members. I have seen this car numerous times and it looks better every time I see it. |
Christian Peck, the main man at the Wolfsburg Weed Huggers VW club own's this lovely 23 window split screen with patina paint. |
This very trick Bug won the trophy for best Beetle. It has so many neat touches it would be hard to name them all. Home made front splitter in carbon fibre, and neat bonnet scoop. |
Suicide doors, with I think Audi TT door latches, full roll cage, bucket seats... |
Oh and not to forget the type 4 motor that is something silly like a 2.8litre and pushing well over 200 bhp. |
Next to the grey bug was this unassuming orange beetle... |
with yet another type 4 motor. This one is not quite as wild as the previous one, but I bet it still doesn't hang around. |
This alpine rally style beetle has been on my blog several times before, but that's fine I do like this car. It's owned by another member from the Wolfsburg Weed Huggers VW Club. |
Headlight grille's and large spot lights make the front end look so nice. |
Classic shape of the Karmann Ghia finished in bright red with white steel wheels with black centres. |
Another member of the Wolfsburg club, and a good mate of mine Joe, was there is his lovely early bay. |
Light blue Fastback was very clean and straight. It looked almost original to me. |
Phil Carr and his son Nathan, came over in their late beetle named 'Buzz Box' Nice to see you both, hope you had a good time and see you soon at the next HOD meet. |
Steve and his good wife came over in Steve's beetle. Glad you could both make it, hope you had a good time. See you at the next 'Outcast VW Club' meet. |
Not sure how this got into the show field being this low..! |
Beetle line up early in the day. |
This orange beetle with a roof chop again has been featured on my blog several times, but again I don't mind. This really is a nice looking bug. |
This pastel yellow beetle didn't have any trick bits, or flashy paint scheme but something about caught my eye. |
A neat touch, was the chequered interior of the headlight. |
This RAT looking beetle has been on my blog several times before. I normally see this bug at The Ace Cafe, London. |
RAT looking rear end with a quick release rear apron. |
Dave and Angela, both from my hometown of Aylesbury were there in their blue and white split screen. Nice to see you both, have a great time in China. |
Late bay's and early bay's mixed it up in the bay window line up. |
Nice early bay in an unusual colour mix that actually go quite well together. |
Looks like a US import with the front and rear marker lights. Again this was owned by a Wolfsburg Weed hugger member. |
Lovely blue and white late bay with pop top. This was finished to a very high standard. |
Interior was finished to an equally high standard. |
The blue and white colour scheme continued into the cab area. |
More of the bay window line up, each bay had it's own unique style. |
My '69 bay enjoying the 'lazy day' 2013 show. |
A pastel blue and white late bay, very clean and very straight, such a nice looking bus. |
This gorgeous T25 belongs to Tony, another mate of mine. This twin slider is immaculate, and looks just right. Loving those yellow headlights. |
This is one of the cleanest T25's around. Tony has put a lot of work into his ride, and it shows. |
Most Karmann owners like their cars to be painted and shiny, the owner this of this one obvioulsy doesn't, and I don't blame him, it looks great as it is. |
Very RAT looking with a super narrow front end add to it's appeal. Part 2 of my show report to follow in a week or so. |
