| This very distinctive early split screen I have seen on several occasions and it never fails to impress me. I have also seen this bus in several VW magazines. The gorgeous green gloss paint looks awesome against the matt grey finish of the lower half. |
 |
| This lovely bus really is so clean and the grey paint accentuates how straight this bus is. I'm sure the fitments on the rear of this bus mean that it's an ex-military (or ex- something) but I just cannot remember what...! The polished Radar wheels looked great, especially with the narrowed front beam. |
 |
| It's all about the small details as this photo shows of the bullet indicators on this splitty. |
 |
| This two tone bus really did stand out. The twin roof racks with the triple spot light set up and the bumper mounted twin spots both looked good. |
 |
| This super bright cabriolet beetle looked great as it cruised past heading towards the club camping area in the summer sunshine. The contrast between the yellow body colour and the white hood worked really well. The Fuchs style wheels glistened as the female driver slowly drove past. |
 |
| This RAT look early bay had signs of a fire in the engine bay, and it looks as though the owner has just left it rather than paint over the damage. I have seen several vehicles like this and personally I like the look, as they say, every scar tells a story. |
 |
| This super low 1967 was immaculate. The perfectly straight body panels had been painted in a gorgeous deep green colour. The black steel wheels with white wall tyres looked the perfect choice for this bug. The narrow front beam helps to keep the front wheels tucked right under the front wings. |
 |
| You can see just how straight this lovely bug really is in this photo. The chrome towel rail bumpers add just enough bling to add the sparkle to the overall look. |
 |
| I do like panel vans and this 1965 split screen van got my full attention. This really was a nice clean example and the white over bright red paint worked so well. |
 |
| Perfectly straight side panels helped to make this old panel van stand out. The twin roof racks were a nice addition as were the colour coded bumpers, |
 |
| If you thought that green beetle (above) was low, this 1970 is even lower, in fact it looks as though it is actually sat on the grass. I'm assuming this cool bug has some from of air assisted suspension. |
 |
| The bright yellow paint looked good and helped to make this low rider stand out. I did like the headlight peaks and door peep mirrors. |
 |
| You can see just how low this bug was from this angle |
 |
| Bug Jam attracts visitors and participants from all over Europe to show off their vehicles, run the 1/4 mile and generally have a goof time. These 2 buses were just a couple of the Belgium visitors that attended Santa Pod for the weekend festivities. |
 |
| Volkswagen's of all descriptions parked up in the camping area. This is just one of the hundreds of through routes through the various camping areas. |
 |
| You do see many weird and wonderful home made modes of transport at Bug Jam and this cycle caught my eye. I'm not sure it would be too stable with those small wheels, and the guy riding it through the camping area did look a bit shaky as he cycled past, but he was having fun, and that's all that matters. |
 |
| A late bay, 1969 Beetle and a T25 all parked up next to each other. It doesn't matter what model you have or what condition it is in, if it's a VW, go along and just enjoy the weekend. |
 |
| Another red beetle, this time a lovely 1963 model that looked pretty much original. This bug had the green 'P' stickers on it indicating that the driver has just passed their test, I just wish I had something this cool to drive around in when I first passed my test. |
 |
| This really was stock looking and the original paint had just a few signs of patina starting to show which looked cool. |
 |
| This lovely blue 1971 bay looked great with it's super low stance, narrowed front beam and Fuchs style wheels. The paint looked to be original and added to the cool look of this bus. I did like the old skool foxes tail on the aerial. |
 |
| This really was a nice looking bus that actually looked very solid. The bright Hawaiian printed curtains looked good against the blue body colour. |
 |
| Just a random photo looking at the camping area, Volkswagen's of all descriptions parked up together. |
 |
| A spilt screen panel van and a BMX bike are enough to ensure the owner of this bus has a great weekend at Bug Jam 30. |
 |
| A green 1967 type 3 Notch back, and a sky blue and white 1973 late bay parked up at Bug Jam 30. |
 |
| White over green on these gorgeous buses, a 1964 split screen and the later type 25 both with the same two colour combination. |
 |
| Another white over green combination on this early bay that I spotted cruising past. This bay looked to be standard height and pretty much original. |
 |
| This lovely bay reminded me of my Microbus before she got painted as it looks very similar in this photo. |
 |
| Another vehicle I spotted cruising around the site was this (very) patina'd split screen. This lovely old bus had been lowered and the white painted steel wheels sat on a narrowed front beam. |
 |
| This lovely bus looked so cool just cruising around. So that was Bug Jam 30, 2016. I hope my blog has given you an insight into this event, there were thousands more vehicles, attractions and things happening all weekend that I couldn't fit into the blog review due to space, but hopefully it will have given you an idea about this show. If you haven't been before I suggest you do next year as I don't think you'll be disappointed. Next week's review is all about the Camper and Bus show so be sure to come back next week. |
