I’m not sure we all do this, but I’ll driving down the road and make a commentary on whats coming the other way. Nice Mk2, oohh its on alloys (it gets a bit closer), de-badged, Borbet A’s, mmm it sits well… this happens for bone stock examples too, except there are less observations to be made. Picture the scene … Continued
Well, get ready for winter just after this bit of summer has happened! For a lot of us the end of September is a fine time to park the car up in the warm and dry, or a makeshift warm and dry place while the weather does its worst, the council throw some grit around … Continued
Spoilt for choice is one way to sum up the first weekend in September. With Northampton playing host to VW Action, Edition 38 and Trax, not to mention some other local shows that were being held further south, the VW community were made to pick their favourites. Having exhibited at Edition 38 a few times, we … Continued
Vanfest, billed as the worlds largest VW Transporter show certainly didn’t disappoint. It seems to be covering more days each year, we were at the site on Thursday setting up parts and readying ourselves for three days of type 2ness.

Our reasons for stopping the meets after September were easy to see, it got dark halfway through and somewhat chilly too. Although a meet in October and November sounds like a great idea now.. in reality, arriving in … Continued

This example was snapped by Anna at VW Action the other week. Let me share my thoughts on this… Although I don’t know 100% for sure, the chaps at Type 2/3 Detectives can probably … Continued
Potentially the busiest VW show weekend in the calendar, there is something for everyone, and frustratingly for some, more than one thing for everyone. The good news is the shows in question are ALL in Northampton!! So alongside VW Action, held at Santa Pod, there was also Edition 38 for those who like their engines in … Continued
