I recognise Thirsk a mile away! Well, it's about 12 miles away to be a little more accurate. Nice bus, and a real comittment bring it from Australia!

Whatever happens to Run To The Sun? I always remember as a kid in the late 80s/early 90s seeing dozens and dozens of Aircooled heading south to Cornwall. Occasionally we’d be going the same way, but usually they’d be heading south as we headed north home. I do remember large groups of aircooled...

Sorry to hear that you lost money. I subsequently learned of them going in to liquidation. Their website, publications and photography did all the right things, and I suppose they did finish a number of buses, but all the pizazz of good photography doesn’t make a business plan. While I’m sure...

Thanks, I have sent them by PM in just in case it's not all 100% favourable, but feel free to post on this thread if you wish, Thanks ...

Having decided on what I want from a Bay, there is a couple [pop-top Westfalias] on my radar, although both have been on the market for a good couple of months now, which makes wonder why? Both are some distance away - so short of asking why they think they are still on the market - can't help...

Just fabulous. It's posts like these that make me want to draw every penny I have out of the bank, commit and buy an EB for the family. Sure the bearing/breakdown is an inconvenience, probably frustrating, but so long as you can count it as part of the experience - it is just that, a great...

Hi, I see completely unable to add photos or links to the forum at the minute, despite using the form URL and IMG buttons .... a snippit from a post here http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=78994 clearly shows the phpbb code being correct. Am I doing something wrong? From what I...

What are the options for rear belts in a Bay? I am still on the hunt for an early Bay (Westalia Pop Top with 3/4 Bed) and two Seatbelts are a must as I have a 2 year old and a baby. From what I have seen so far, only a 3 point against the body and a lap belt are available - but I have just...

Hi all, I note that VW action is happening this weekend, but that's a tad too far for me + toddler and an expectant wife for the Saturday as I only have one day available. Is anyone from this board likely to be there? Has anyone been to VW FoD before? Is it worth a visit? I've never been to...

Thanks for all the recent replies. They've given me a clearer idea of what I want, the advice is valuable. One thing coming through and through is clearly getting the most solid van available, which does make sense to me ...

Then there is this one at £35,000. What makes this so valuable because if I was expecting such a strong price for my bus, I'd have dozens of photos of it out there, and also I'd expect such a bus in the condition I expect for this money to be owned by an enthusiast, and thus have seen it on...

Well, seven months later, I am still here and lurking. I am also still looking, although not been to see any EB's since Stanford Hall back in 2018! My wife says I am lacking commitment :?: One of the reasons I have taken a step back is the wildly different conditions the buses are in, and the...

Details on how to install a leisure battery & split charge system is also on the Just Kampers website ... https://www.justkampers.com/jkblog/how-to-fit-a-leisure-battery--split-charge-system-145

Thanks for the replies ... I’m under no illusion that living with a bus is anything but a labour of love ... I got to Stanford Hall this year and had a couple of brief chats with Split Screen owners as that’s just the area I seemed to spend most of the time. I never even got to the trade...

Hi, It’s sometime since I introduced myself here https://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=624&p=608369#p608369 last year, and I am still bayless :| but I am still living in hope. In September last year I was very close to selling my soul, and everything that wasn’t screwed down in the...

Thanks for that. Just currently reading the following thread http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12966 which is a crossover, although I wasn’t 100% sure what that meant! Thanks ....

Hi, Finally registered to read the forums. I’ve been lurking on a few other forums related to Air Cooled VW’s but now a AC owner just yet. I nearly bought a VW Beetle for a first car a couple of Decades ago, but my old man warned me off, in fairness it wasn’t even a bag of bolts, but a rust...
