[Matt Maz]

....The bus got me all the way home without any problems whatsoever!!!

This is the first time I have been to a show and managed to get all the way home without coming back on
a recovery truck

Had a great weekend, would like to say thanks to Gadget & Graham L for the technical weekend, it was very useful thank you and also
for your advice etc for my van........hope to meet up again soon.

Pete

what happened pete?

 

[petegee56]

Not sure ant, just started running like crap about 5 miles from home, like the timing had gone, after saturday i knew to check ht leads, plugs, points all fine, dizzy had not come loose, i think it it is something to do with the carb, Recovery bloke turned up and claimed it was the head gasket !! thanks for that,

Will have a look at it later in the week when i get some time off, dont think it is anything serious

I couldn't find one anywhere, so have ordered one of the net

I think I have made my mind up with the van, I think I will just have this one done over the winter as I will then know
that what has been done. I did see a lovely westy tintop for sale at Stanford Hall which I would have bought but the
guy had taken a deposit.........it was obviously not meant to be; And as my van actually got us home, it must be sign
that things are now starting to get sorted!

Good to meet up with everyone & I hope you get your van sorted Pete

Had a great day yesterday, was on the stand opposite the EB one with the newbeetle.
Was good to put a few faces to peoples names, and i managed to get my sill that i havnt been able to get from a few suppliers over the net, thanks to Graham and i think it was Gadget boy for confirming that it was the correct one, it was a real pain in the rear trying to squeeze it into the car so wanted to make sure first, will hope to catch up with a few more people in the van at shows closer to home.

Dont know if it was sooo bad over on your side, it was like living in a dust storm gave up trying to keep clean over on the other side of the road.

 

[Pete B]

Matt & Lisa, glad you got home ok, perhaps the tide is turning?!!!
Was great to meet up with established friends and to make new ones too, Aaron and myself had a great time, look forward to the next one!
Anyhow, here are a few photos;

The camping crew.

The photographer of the 1st pic.

Lisa doing Sat Night Fever or hailing a Taxi?

Hmm.

Breakfast chef in action!

Oh, and there were some Busses there too...

As I said, a great time had, over too soon.

[retro.james]

Great turnout guys and a cool looking display!

Out of [professional- ha!l] curiosity - who owns the super clean looking white EB on the Porsche Teledials?

Was parked at the back under the tree next to slammedresto's EB.

 

[Graham L]

That would be StuartRX7's, if it was parked sideways facing towards Gary's Bus

 

[baron]

my pass never turned up in the post, so couldn't join you guys on the club display

i did stop by to a squizz though, and was glad i hadn't joined you....
