WBC Spring Meet 2026 (part 1 of 3)

The Wolfsburg Bus Crew is a club on Facebook for owners of Volkswagen split screen, bay window and T25 buses. Even though the club is based in London, they have members all across the U.K. as well as all over the world. It doesn't matter if your bus isn't a show winner, you'll be welcomed whatever your bus looks like. The club organise club meets, and club stands at various shows throughout the year, arrange various runs and camping trips and they have also negotiated numerous discounts from various VW parts suppliers. The club have two club meets a year, one in the spring and one in the autumn both held at Wendover Woods, near Aylesbury, Bucks, and both with a camp out at a camp site next to the woods. This year the Spring meet was arranged for Saturday 18th April. This was just a 'WBC' member only event, where you could catch up with old mates that you haven't seen over the long cold winter. It's also a good chance to make new friends, and not to mention give your bus a shake down run ready for the summer season. 'Rich' who runs the WBC arranged for all of us to meet a a local supermarket in Aylesbury and cruise together up to Wendover Woods in convoy, (easier said than done!) a journey of around 7 miles.

I arrived at the supermarket at 10.15 and
there were already numerous busses
parked up in Tesco's car park.





10.30 sharp the convoy sets off for the
cruise to Wendover Woods.

Rich decided to do a loop on the Wendover
by-pass and park up to enable all the
 busses to regroup as the convoy got
split up to to traffic lights / roundabouts etc.

All the busses are back together, so we
set off again to cruise into Wendover.

out the window.

In Wendover we drove up the high street
to the roundabout and then back down
creating two lanes of vintage VW busses.

The locals out shopping seemed to enjoy
our parade of busses as a lot of them
stood and waved, and took photos as we
cruised through their historic market town.

sunny Saturday morning.

Following Andy along the winding road
that leads to the main car park.

Andy brought the cruise to a stop for a
minute to allow Rich go on ahead and
get in position so he could take a video
of all our busses.

whilst taking a video of all the busses
entering the woods. I'm not sure if this
will work or not, but here's the link to Rich's

the WBC Spring meet 2026.

Dave and Angela rolling into the meet.

I do like a high riding T25.

This one was extra nice with the spot
lights, awning and custom wheels.

Simon brought his awesome 7UP single
cab.

Suzie on guard duty as I have a chat
while I wait for the kettle to boil.


Andy's custom alloy front bench seat.


Sat in my bus with a cuppa, this was my
view through the windscreen.

That two tone split screen parked opposite
me, really is a nice looking bus.

So that was the first of 3 instalments all about the Wolfsburg Bus Crew's Spring meet. Next week will be part two where you'll be able to see plenty more cool WBC busses so be sure to come back next week.
