Summers coming You know that summer is coming when you start seeing a few more air-cooled VW’s on the road. Seems that now is the time that a few more are coming out of their winter’s hibernation! I was walking home along the seafront and saw this cool custom bus […]
To MOT or not to MOT, that is the question… It’s coming to the time of year when my annual UK MOT will soon be due for renewal, but this year, things could be different, as the law is about to change. For many, getting the MOT sorted is an anxious […]
Living in the UK, it’s easy to be spoilt for choice if you ever want to go to a car show of some description. There are also some great shows in nearby Europe too. However, sometimes you stumble across a little gem that’s right on your very doorstep. This was us […]
Opps, a bit of a delay in posting as I got sidetracked with a work project! So where we… having got the essential items sorted on the camper, it was good to have some time to look at tackling some of the ‘nice to have’ options on the to-do list! […]
It’s always nice to start things off with an easy win. So first thing on the list of things to do was to swap out the old rear light units with the new Custom and Commercial high-quality rear light housing units. I had previously replaced the surround rubbers last year, so upgrading […]
Last summer I managed to get the basics of a head unit and some speakers in the bus, but never had the subwoofer set-up and working. This in itself was quite a mini achievement for me and electrickery. Now it was time to get some items on my to-do list […]

Some people like to keep their buses in tip-top showroom or concourse condition… which is great for preservation purposes. However, the people who are into vintage VW buses are as varied as the buses that are still out there on the roads. For some, the mantra ‘dirt don’t hurt’ means that their […]
As the ‘baby’ of the family, it was nice to catch up with my older brother who was over in mainland UK for his late ‘summer’ holidays from the Isle of Man with his wife in their VW camper. I’d seen pics before, but this was a chance to finally […]
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 […]
