Well I have just returned from my first euro trip of this year - Lincoln to Ninove, Belgium and back just over 700 miles. I went down for the Freddyfiles 2014 VW show in the town on March 16th but made a 4 day trip of it. The camper went great never had any problems what so ever apart from my tail pipe bracket rusting off - no biggy! - having only owned her 4 weeks I thought this would be the tester trip - I am deffo going to Europe later in the year! the show itself featured over 1000 aircooled motors from all over Europe - some of the best aircooled I have ever seen - comments welcome ! here I am in Lincoln ready to do the first 200 mile stint to folkstone, dover on the shuttle as I say the tail pipe fell off so a bit of home made fix her up ! at Calais services meeting up with 100 other air cooled motors on the road to Belgium welcome to Ninove helped a load of buses get towed in to town ! Saturday night in the camper after a few to many local beers !
jumped another late bay of the same colour ! he was from Germany few from the show on the sunday found some sage green wheel trims in the auto jumble 10 Euros - Bargin! then back home Monday afternoon
Cracking pics, Was a good show I forgot to take any pics as the Witkap had full hold of me most of the weekend!! got about 13 pictures 10 were of people drunk. 3 of the bus broken down!!
If your going to only do one European trip next year make it EBI the dates are out ready. It's the one!!
great pics , did the weld go on tp , if you still have the bracket off end of silencer , you can put jubilee round tp n bracket . Glad you got a fix and had a good trip
yeah the bracket with the 2 bolts broke off needs new one welding on really - the wire holds for now!
A group of friends went this year and had a good time too! I was a tad envious! Your photos are great! I'd have liked to go, but think I'll stick with the alternate year EBI trips........in theory warmer weather in June/July!!
Looks like a great trip. My mate Mark was over there in his low light ghia.. came away with an award which was well deserved. The black/cream split is mark pindar - epic build thread on ssvc - that bus had more rust and holes than metal when he got it. Looks fab now.
