Moving day

Howard's Beetle has been in top secret secure storage for many years (see earlier post) but the re-development of the garage block meant that he had to find new storage. Luckily ginga had a spare lock up kicking about so all they had to do was move it over.

Hitched up and ready to go



At the secure storage facility


In its new home, complete with custom draught excluder

Howard's car is in good company, there's a couple of ginga's projects nearby

His Semi-Auto

Patiently waiting

And the Fugitive

They'll be done one day, one month, one year...

Outlaw Flat Four 2009



Outlaw Flat Four have released a provisional calendar for 2009 including, for the first time, championship rounds at Santa Pod.





Probably the most eagerly awaited round is Bug Jam 23 where the Outlaws will be competing in front of their first major UK VW show but their usual NSRA and Bug-In rounds are still on the calendar.





Full listings at the Lo 'E' Nuf calendar.

Lo 'E' Nuf goes all Time Team

Unearthed from a top secret location in Hertfordshire is this survivor from the golden age of UK VWs.



With no hard dating evidence it's quite difficult to tell just how long this relic has been hiding.

It's possible that these strange pictograms may be able to help, if only the experts could decipher them.





The manner of the interior decoration is quite distinctive so may also help in the dating process.



Archaeologists normally like to use certain known items for dating objects or sites. Things such as preserved nuts, seeds or grains, maybe some decorated pottery or perhaps worked metal. Here all they have to work with is 2 expired tax discs.



Plan is to move this valuable historic relic to a safer more secure site and, one day, preserve it for future generations.

Shiver shiver shuffle shuffle

Well, Slough has been and gone so that's it for 2008.

We came, we saw, we froze our asses off, we left. Despite all the best plans you never get everything you're after and you end up spending more time touring the car park then actually buying anything. But what the hey, it's a day out!

Cris, ginga and Toby Beadle arriving in the Sunshine Bus


Alex and Ian's Beetles - badly parked as usual

Cris was up with the full tribe in his Splitscreen camper, star of its own resto-thread on the SSVC Forum
Sunday Splitscreen line up


Baby Bootle was in the Back To 89 line ups on Saturday and Sunday.


We had good weather on Friday and Saturday so a wet Sunday didn't seem so bad.
That's it for weekend shows this year, next up is Slough Swapmeet on November 9th although we're working on some extra track time before the season's out...

Been & gone

It could've been warmer, it could've been less windy and I could've got up in time to get the car on the strip!

Oh well...

The Bicester lot waiting to cruz up on the Friday




And that's all the pictures I took over the full weekend so the rest have been scalped from t'interweb.

Danny lines up against the JagerBug

We were joined in the Lo 'E' Nuf village by some strange Northerners



And the revitalised window stickers went down well
