Since those early days the format is still the same, with help and advice given freely by our members, but the social side is also an important factor, with members becoming friends over the years and discussing all sort of things not related to Volkswagen's. The success of our club is due ( I think) to not having anyone in control of the club. It is a members club for the members, and the members attend the monthly as and when they can without any pressure. Our club meet is held at The Charter Pub, on the Bicester Road in Aylesbury, Bucks. HP19 8AW from 7.00pm onwards.

| Steve came along to our anniversary club meet in his lovely 1970 Beetle finished in brilliant white. |
 |
| This is a really clean looking Bug. The roof- rack, wide rear wings and deck lid hinged away from the body give the beetle a very distinctive look. |
 |
| My '69 bay enjoying the company of other VW's at the Outcast Club monthly meet. |
 |
| Just for a change I thought I'd treat you to a picture of my rear side window, complete with decals. |
 |
| It doesn't matter what condition your ride is in, you always think it's the best, well I certainly think that about my bus! |
 |
| Sam and Kevin came along in Sam's '69 trial look Beetle. This is a true RAT looking bug, and I think it looks awesome. Sam & Kevin have just replaced the front brakes on this bug, not before time from what I heard!. |
 |
| Rear end of Sam's Beetle, I'm loving the camber of those rear wheels. The 2 spare wheels on the engine lid are to aid traction when Sam goes off road Trialing. |
 |
| Dave popped down to our club meeting his lovely white over blue 1967 split screen, with matching colour coded bra. |
 |
| This spilt screen is so clean, it is also one of the most reliable buses I know of... mind you, Dave does keep it very well maintained. |
 |
| A rare photo of Dave's 1955cc motor. How clean is this motor. If only mine looked like that. A neat touch was the gas strut on the engine lid. |
 |
| Dave and his partner Angela spend so much time in this splitty that this sign is very apt. |
 |
| Another split screen in a very similar colour to Dave's, except this has a satin finish and is an earlier model an easily identified by the bullet front indicators. The chrome bumpers really make this bus stand out. |
 |
| This gorgeous bus is owned by John who is a relatively new member. This may be a bold statement, but I think this is one of the best split screens I have seen. |
 |
| Nice photo showing the 2 splittys showing off their rear ends. |
 |
| Pete popped down in his graphite grey T4. This '75 model is really nice and the more I see these T4's, the more I'd like one. |
 |
| Very straight and very clean, proved by the super straight reflection along the side of Pete's ride. |
 |
| Scott came along in his lovely 1981 Lupo finished in a lovely deep green. Scott has been busy by adding a bra / wind deflector and a few other modifications. |
 |
| This is such a clean and straight car that anyone would like to own, especially to use as a daily driver. |
 |
| Stuart and Tim came along in Stuart's '71 bay window. This bus is so recognisable with it's painted chequered front, and the red oxide painted body. |
 |
| A better look at Stuart's bay with his company logo on the drivers door. |
 |
| Judging by the rear and side of Stuart's bay, maybe the rumours are right, maybe Stuart is going to finally paint his bus. |
 |
| Kerry came along to our club meet in her gorgeous looking '79 late bay finished in, I think Sierra Yellow. Whatever colour it is I like it. Kerry has been polishing her bay and doesn't it look good for it. |
 |
| Kerry hasn't had the best of luck with this bay, however now she has a replacement 2.0l motor fitted and a few electrical problems sorted out, hopefully it'll prove to a reliable ride now. Fingers crossed Kerry. |
 |
| The Outcast VW club line up early in the evening, a few more did turn up later in the evening. |
 |
| We had a visitor from a guy just driving past our club meet and he decided to pop in to take a look at our vehicles, and we're glad he did. |
 |
| This may look, at first glance like a normal Mk 2 Golf but upon closer inspection it soon became apparent this was something special. |
 |
| Yes, it's an original G60. These G60's were produced from 1988 to 1993 and I believe only a limited number were produced. They have a 1781cc engine with a supercharger. |
 |
| Continuing the Golf theme, Amanda came along in her very clean looking sliver Mk.3. |
 |
| Her very distinctive registration number (reading as 'kiss arse') always makes people smile and now that she has a complete set of matching wheels this Golf looks even better and stands out from the other Mk. 3 Golf's. |
 |
| A close up of Amanda's wheels. For ages Amanda ran her golf with different wheels, at front and back but now she has a set of these bad boys fitted it makes her Golf look so much better. |
 |
| Amanda's partner, Simon followed Amanda to the club meet in his 1976 T4. The light in the grill is Simon's trademark and I think this has been fitted in almost every vehicle Simon has owned. |
 |
| A nice looking T4, with Simon and Amanda's company logo in the rear window. So that was the September monthly meet of the Outcast VW club. Overall a very enjoyable evening with some good friends, and plenty of cool VW's, both air cooled and water cooled. It's difficult as I think any club will tell you, to get all the members together for a club meet as we all have family / work commitments but the Outcast club members are a loyal bunch and they attend whenever they can. We are an open club, so if your local and fancy a drive down on the first Thursday of the month you'll be made to feel very welcome. |
