As some might have gathered by now, I do enjoy a little annual road trip to the vintage air-cooled show in Ninove, Belgium. Well, this year, a couple of my bus buddies and I are pulling together the official UK Cruise to Ninove – so the journey starts here… The 6th annual UK […]
So after a timely cup of tea and biscuit, time to check out some of the other vehicles that had made the journey to Brighton Breeze 2017. One of the things I liked about the show was the variety on display, plenty of mods and stockers with everything in between! Loved this ace […]
I’ve been busy with a work project recently, so not had much time to get out and about in my camper much. Good thing that Brighton Breeze is happening, great excuse to get out and go for a drive! The weekend forecast was ‘mixed’, but a camper is for life, […]
You soon realise the moment you start wandering around the streets of Hessisch Oldendorf that this really is a show like no other. It seemed like every street you walked down, or corner you turned, there was something special to see… Things that normally feature in some museum, here are […]

Well, the main day of the weekend had finally arrived, an it looks like it’s going to be another bright and sunny Freddy Files, perfect weather with sunshine and 20º+ temp, good weather really helps make the weekend 🙂 Having got up early, we parked our buses up and went to […]
Ollie and Gez’s journey by train on the Eurotunnel wasn’t so quick in the end. Unfortunately they got delayed so didn’t rock up till 1.20am in the morning! I had long since hit the sack for some shut-eye. So it wasn’t until bright an early the next morning when got […]
Well, I finally got my act together an sorted everything out for Freddy Files 2017, looks like the road trip to Ninove is on! Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it last year, so I’m really looking forward to this one. Planning to meet my bus buddy Ollie and his friend Gez later […]
You know what’s good about having a few targets? It gives me some kind of focused motivation to get things done! Well one of my targets is now set and booked! This year I wanted to get my act together an book a place at the 6th international Vintage Volkswagen Show in Hessisch […]
