| Lewis was already at the club meet when I arrived. This is his '70 bay finished in metallic candy red. |
 |
| This is such a nice looking pop top bus in a really nice colour. |
 |
| Nice and straight, nice and clean with a nice coat of paint, just about right I reckon. |
 |
| Zoe, from the House of Dub came along in her '67 beetle. Zoe was saying that she recently suffered from having a broken fan belt whilst driving en-route to Bug Jam earlier this month. |
 |
| Luckily apart from some minor damage all was OK and 'Donkey' is running as normal again. |
 |
| Tony attended the club meet in his '84 crew cab T25. This is a cool ride finished in grey with contrasting bright orange wheels and roof. |
 |
| These crew cabs are not only a really cool looking ride but they also make for a good workhorse with plenty of room in the back. |
 |
| For all you patina fans, how about this '69 Californian import. This early bay was left to sit in the hot California sunshine for something ridiculous like 20 years, oh and the rear quarter panel has not been painted, it's where the bus sat for so long with the sliding door open! |
 |
| Talking to Zoe, we assumed that this side was somewhat more protected from the sunshine by a low hedge or wall as the patina doesn't start until half was up the body. |
 |
| My first time meeting of Zoe (another one) and Colin who came along in their bright red T4. |
 |
| This very clean and tidy T4 had a lot of nice accessories with a full camping interior. I do like these T4's and if I didn't have my bay I would certainly have one. |
 |
| My '69 microbus enjoying the summer sun as it starts to go down over the club meet. |
 |
| Simone came along in her trusty '72 beetle. This is a clean and tidy bug, finished in white with matching steel wheels. |
 |
| Very clean and straight and looking good in the summer sunshine. |
 |
| Ben pulled up in his '66 split screen. Ben has owned this for as long as i can remember and it still looks as good today as it always has. |
 |
| Profile of Ben's split screen, sitting low and looking very clean. |
 |
| Ben's splitty has a nice colour combination, not too flash or fancy just a lovely looking bus. |
 |
| Stephen came to the club meet in his '78 pop top late bay. Stephen was saying that he has just started a restoration on an early bug. Good luck on that, that should keep him busy for a while. |
 |
| Craig and his mate popped in later in the evening in his super low early bay. |
 |
| This beauty has had the beam raised and is fully tubbed front and rear to accommodate the new wheel position. |
 |
| The bodywork has patina which is maturing nicely, and a full blown patina roof. The deluxe trim adds a small amount of bright work to break the body colour up as do the front and rear side markers. |
 |
| Richard attended the club meet in his newly acquired MK3 golf convertible in bright red. When Richard purchased this golf the bonnet had seen better day's, however Richard soon got a colour perfect replacement item off e-bay. |
 |
| Richard has a minor buffing repair to do to the front wing but apart from that this is a really nice clean and straight rag top. |
 |
| Later in the evening Craig parked his baby blue bay window next to mine. I used to think my bay was quite low, but compared to Craig's I think I might suffer from a case of vertigo. |
 |
| Just to show how low Craig's bay really is. |
 |
| Lewis leaving the meet just as the sun begins to set I do like those side marker lights and they suit this bus perfectly. So that was the House of Dub monthly meet for July. Talking to the members of the club they were all saying that the number of vehicle's was lower than normal due to the 'Classic's on the Common' show in the neighbouring county being on the same day. However despite this, it was a good night and it was good to catch up with all my old friends, and not forgetting the new friends, at the House of Dub VW Club. Finally apologies to Spike for not taking a picture of the bay window he turned up in. |
