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. The review continues as I wander around looking at all the WBC members busses.

This stunning '64 split won the members choice for 'Best Bus' at the meet. It was built in Melbourne, Australia and shipped to the U.K. in 2009. It runs a 1904cc stroker engine built by Chico Performance in California. |

It has a Rancho Freeway Flyer gearbox, with Creative IRS, beam and steering and CSP wide five brakes. The lovely interior was made by Kens Kustoms and all topped off with a Space Roof pop top. |
