After last years success and raising almost £200 for the Childrens Trust at Tadworth Court we have chosen to support another local children’s charity this year with our annual Santa Cruise.

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. Secretly praying for fair weather too, which half worked, but the rain kinda comes hand in … 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.

Purchase Manager Ian made the trip in his Bug (as the weather was nice), and was kind enough to … Continued
Often overlooked as just a small show, this is one to really watch next year.

This year’s meets are great – more new cars each month but the same chilled out atmosphere. We would be interested to hear your comments, how do you think the meets are going? Are they missing a certain something, were they better when there was a “car of the show”. While you are contemplating that … Continued
