A huge congratulations from all of us here at VW Heritage to the winner; Andy Openshaw who along with his Wife will be … Continued

After a small dabble in “Santa Cruising” last year we were pleasantly surprised with the interest in this year’s event prior to it happening. The morning of the event came, the rain that was forecast stayed away and VW Heritage played host to over 100 wannabe Santa’s with 70 plus cars to take them the 30 … Continued
The winter is a great time for Ebay and Forum window shopping, it passes some time while on lunch / the other half watches naff tv and makes for great conversation starters with your mates.

The grillin’ was provided by the burger flippers in the food tent and the chillin’ was definitely the laidback atmosphere created by VDub enthusiasts from all walks of life, including those that … Continued
The recent “trend” for taking a watercooled VW and “dropping” it on an aircooled chassis has produced, what I feel is the most controversial to date. 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
