| A '77 late bay with a pop top that was very clean and straight and riding at what looked like stock and pretty much original which is pleasant to see and made a refreshing change. |
 |
| With it's nose in the air, just as Volkswagen designed the bay window. I could quite easily have something like this, they must be so much more practical than a lowered bus. |
 |
| Jonny came along in his '71 race inspired gloss white Beetle. This is such a nice looking bug, and it has a full roll cage, full harness seat belts on bucket seats and a monster tachograph on the original dashboard. |
 |
| The race theme continues to the back of this bug with huge back wheels with huge tyres and what looks like to be Empi air scoops over the air vents. |
 |
| Sira came along in this Mexican Bay and it is the first time I have had a good look at the new Mexican bay, apart from the grill in the front panel, they are not as bad as what I had imagined. |
 |
| This had a nice coat of paint in a nice two tone colour and a nice set of 5 spoke wheels. |
 |
| Andrew came to the club meet in his gorgeous 1967 Karmann Ghia. This is a seriously clean car finished off with an immaculate coat of deep cherry red paint |
 |
| The classic lines of this Karmann are accentuated with such straight body panels. The chrome U.S. style towel rail bumpers, the polished wheels and the polished body trim compliment the paint to make this KG stand out. |
 |
| This KG has a better rear end than Boyonce. |
 |
| Julian was at the WWH monthly meet in his alpine race early Beetle. This is such a cool looking car, recent additions to Julian's bug include the twin horns mounted to the front bumper. |
 |
| This lovely blue bug with it's plush red vinyl interior is just about perfect, and I bet other beetle owners inspire to this. |
 |
| Sarah and Gareth own this stunning late split screen, and it was gorgeous. Unusual colour choice which works so well. The two and three bow roof racks added a bit of extra bling to the exterior. |
 |
| The interior of the splitty was as nice as the exterior, and it looked as though it had been restored to a very high quality. This split screen was voted in the 'top 10' vehicles at this years V-Dub island show. |
 |
| My '69 bay window parked up in The Squirrel Public House car park. |
 |
| OK it looks very RAT, but I love it just the way it is. |
 |
| Ryan turned up in his '69 white over beige bay window. I do like this bay and although it may not be a show winner, it is really clean and solid and that is what matters. |
 |
| I do like Ryan's yellow head light lenses with the stone guards over them. I also like the U.S. side marker lights. |
 |
| Luke couldn't stay away from the club meet in his '75 late bay finished in baby blue. I believe this bay is the result of a recent restoration. |
 |
| Very clean and very straight, just how it should be. |
 |
| Stuart and Tim followed me over to the meet in Stuarts 1970 beetle. This is the daily driver for Stuart, he also has a '71 bay window that he keeps for weekends. |
 |
| This bug has a nice stance, it looks as though it's doing 100mph while standing still. |
 |
| More Beetles in the overflow parking area at The Squirrel Pub, in Penn Street. |
 |
| A nice looking bright orange '71 beetle which looks pretty much stock apart from the wheels. |
 |
| Originality continues to the back of this lovely bug. |
 |
| You want a super cool looking early bug? how about this '64 finished in a super coat of mid grey paint with banded steel wheels. |
 |
| The single colour paint, the banded wheels painted white and the U.S. style all red rear light lenses all help to make this car stand out in any crowd. This car is a regular at the Ace Cafe monthly air-cooled night |
 |
| Here we have another '64 beetle, and whilst not as shiny as the one above, it is equally as nice for completely different reasons. |
 |
| Very RAT and very low. As Dolly Parton once said "it's costs a lot of money to look this cheap" and I love it. |
 |
| Dean came along in his '67 RAT looking bug. This bug is really low and sits way down in the weeds. |
 |
| Dean's beetle parked up under the trees at the club meet. I think Dean should continue the two white stripes up and over the body. |
 |
| Not the average Radio Flyer.. a really cool alternative to take to shows. |
 |
| Andy came down in his '78 Derby. These car's are so rare now and I believe Andy has done so much work on this, but it all looks worthwhile. |
 |
| A truly stunning example of the sought after classic Volkswagen. |
 |
| This '74 bright yellow beetle had the silver decals reminiscent of the empi beetle. I'm not sure if this is an original empi beetle or not, but I know I do like it. |
 |
| This is such a cool looking car and the silver decals, chrome air intake vents and chrome window surrounds compliment the bright paint perfectly. |
 |
| Another '74 beetle arrived later in the evening but it looked completely different from the one above, but equally as nice in it's own right. |
 |
| Very clean and very straight with a nice coat of grey gloss paint is all you need for a cool ride. |
 |
| Christian turned up in his super cool looking 21 window split screen. |
 |
| This bus has bags of patina to fulfil even the most patina lovers cravings. Christian was telling me of his plans for the interior of his bus, and if it works out how he described it will be awesome, and I can't wait to see it. |
 |
| Christian moving his bus. The car park does get packed so you have to grab a space when and where you can. |
 |
| This super bright green '68 beetle arrived much later in the evening. I don't know much about this bug but it did have plenty of body modifications... |
 |
| Including a smoothed engine lid and late beetle rear lights. So that was the Wolfsburg Weedhuggers VW club monthly meet. An enjoyable evening with plently of nice VW's, and equally nice people. If you plan to attend this club meet you must try the Squirrel burger and fries from the bar, washed down with a cold beer. Now that sounds like a perfect evening. |
