Vantastic is back again for 2019 After the success of last years Vantastic VW show event, it was that time of the year again for Vantastic 2019. It’s always good to support your local car show, and as the show happens on my doorstep, there’s literally no excuse. It’s the […]
It’s that time of the year again, showtime with Ninove 2019! Unfortunately, once again because of work commitments, it’s unclear whether or not I’llbe able to make it this year. It could end up being a last-minute dash for me. I’ll just to wait and see how things pan out… […]
Dubs on your doorstep It’s always fun road tripping to vintage VW shows in Europe. It turns a show into a mini adventure. But when there’s a new ‘Dubs at DLWP’ event just up the road at De La Warr Pavilion (DLWP) in Bexhill, it does make things a lot […]

Ben Pon showtime… OK, fair warning, there might be a fair few photos and videos of air cooled Barndoor buses to follow! In fact, there could be a fair few pictures of all sorts of vintage air cooled vehicles of all shapes and sizes to follow. The Ben Pon Barndoor […]
Barndoor Buses and BBQ’s, what’s not to like… Nice to wake up on the first day of my mini road trip with the sun shining, maybe it’s time to go see some Barndoor buses today! But first things first, time to open the cargo doors, let the sunshine in and get […]
The road trip to Ben Pon starts here… Sometimes things all seem to come at once. So before the road trip can begin, I had to get the MOT sorted, then it was also time to update my (free) road tax before lastly renewing my classic insurance. With that now […]
Ben Pon Show Well, looks like I have another really cool road trip to look forward to! I’ve finally booked my tickets to the Ben Pon 2nd Barndoor Gathering and Vintage VW Show that takes place on the weekend of 19th-20th May 2018 in Amersfoort, the Netherlands. ‘The original idea for the […]
