The WWH hold a monthly club meet at The Squirrel Public House in Penn Street, HP7 0PX on the 3rd Wednesday of each month throughout the year. Friends of mine and fellow Outcast VW Club members Dave and Angela, sent a txt message to Stuart and myself asking if we were going to head over to the Squirrel Pub, and as Wednesday night is a poor night for TV, we both decided to join them. (my apologies for the poor photo quality but my small Panasonic Lumix camera doesn't work too well in dark conditions)
 |
| Julian went to the WWH club meet in his alpine rally themed early Beetle. |
 |
| This really is a nice looking car, with plenty of cool period accessories and stickers. I do like the red vinyl seats which are in stark contrast to the lovely body colour. |
 |
| The rear of Julian's Beetle with the big rear spot light and the period looking white mud flaps. |
 |
| Another WWH member to pop along to the club meet was Jonny in his race inspired 1971 Bug. |
 |
| I was chatting to Jonny and he was saying about the plans he had for his Bug. These plans included a 2.2ltr engine with nitrous oxide, and bigger and better disc brakes and new wheels and tyres. |
 |
| My 1969 Micro bus parked up outside the Squirrel Pub. |
 |
| It is only about 17 miles from our hometown of Aylesbury to the club meet, but the drive over reminded me I need new rubber door seals. It was a cold dark night in January with snow showers forecast the temperature was only just above freezing, and with the wind chill factor coming through the gaps in my door seals the temperature felt like a few degrees below freezing. |
 |
| Stuart and Tim went over in Stuart's daily driver, his 1970 Beetle. I'd normally cruise over with Stuart and Tim but they left straight from Stuarts workshop which is en-route to the Squirrel pub. |
 |
| Stuart's Bug with his retro roof rack. Stuart and Tim are both from my hometown of Aylesbury. Both Stuart and Tim are fellow Outcast VW club members, well actually Stuart is a founder member of the Outcast club. |
 |
| More Outcast VW Club members are David and Angela who are also from Aylesbury and popped over to the WWH club meet in their daughter Louise's 1974 Beetle named 'Brum'. |
 |
| The outcast VW Club outside the Squirrel pub, home of the WWH monthly club meet. I personally think it's good to visit other local club meets, if for nothing else but to show show some support. |
 |
| This 1988 T25 rumbled into the car park as I was taking some photo's. I don't know who owns this or what size motor it was running but it sounded really nice. |
 |
| This really was a nice looking T25. I do like these T25's and I could so easily have one if I didn't have my bay window. |
 |
| Christian came down later in the evening in his lovely early split screen. |
 |
| This really is a nice looking bus, unfortunately I didn't get much time to chat to Christian to ask him how the new interior is coming on as Christian has some cool plans for the interior of his bus. |
 |
| Lovely Porsche wheels on a narrowed beam on Christians splitty. |
 |
| This slightly later split screen followed Christian into the Squirrel car park. I don't know who this belongs to, but I did like it. |
 |
| I do like split screens with a pop top, and this one looked great in it's single colour with contrasting bumpers. |
 |
| This really was a nice looking bus, it's a shame it's it still mid winter and so dark outside as I would have liked to have taken more photo's of this bus. |
 |
| After I had been outside to take the photo's, it was time to go back inside the pub and sit by the fire with a drink. Looking out through the pub window, Jonny's Beetle made a nice view. So that was the January monthly meet of The Wolfsburg Weed Huggers. Overall a good night once we had warmed up next to the fire in the pub. There were a lot more Weed Hugger members at the meet most some had come along in their daily drivers as the air-cooled rides were probably tucked away in their garages, to keep out of the horrible British weather. |
