Volksworld 2009

[Fraggle]

Well done to Gadget for stepping in to sort an excellent line up. Had an ace weekend although I do think I may be suffering from mild alcohol poisoning!!! :roll: :roll: :roll:

Was cool to meet some new EB folks aswell as some old.

Cool to meet: slammedresto & family, cotswoldiver (was parked next to on sunday), timmo24 (hope you got home ok in the end?), Gadget, Clem, easy and some others who in my alcoholic mong'ness I can't remember.

I sorted my bus running problems and flew home 70mph all the way (cheers for offering to help out Gadget) 8)

Nice line up guys, but how did that shitty laundry van make the grade? I thought you was asking for nice buses Dean???? best thing about yours is the engine by all accounts. :lol: :lol:

 

[Guest]

[easy]

Ace line up chaps n chapesses 8) HAd a quick nose around but had loads to do, like get rid of hangovers and purchase some bits

 

[therotbox]

It was probably the only line up I got to look at over the weekend (trading stuff), and it looked top notch guys. Well done 8)

Anyone have any problems getting home? I got about 3 miles away (outskirts of Norwich) and it started sputtering. Pulled over, opened the engine lid to find my oil filler cap had blown off, I guess do to engine pressure (I was sitting at 80-90 most of the way home). Engine bay is not soaked in dirty oil! Topped up the oil, pulled away and it still didn't wanna play, so I pulled over again and it just died.

Called the breakdown, they said they'd be an hour, had another look in the engine bay, realised there was no fuel in the filter, filled it up from the jerry, jumped the bus off my jump pack and we were away! Shortest breakdown ever!

Must remember to get that fuel guage fixed! :lol:

 

[dubscum]

fuel gauge stopped working go about 10 miles from home (on the way there) speedy stopped working, sat in 6 lanes of slow moving traffic m1 to m25 would not idle love my bus now own't idle at all when warm

Just wanted to say thanks to Gadget and Clem for organising the line up I thought it looked great 8) 8) . I had loads of fun chatting to people at the show 1st time in a line up for me, amazing how many people want to ask about the van and why you brought that particular coversion etc etc. all in all a great weekend although very cold over in the campsite!!!! Good to meet some of the early bayers can't remember all the names but thanks to jacksoncaddy for the pass on saturday much appreciated Hope to get to a few more shows this year so hopefully meet some more of you then.

Thanks to Clem and Gadget for sorting the weekend out and to gadget for telling me about the 10% discount when mentioning Earlybay with Status VW, hopefully the new seals will sort the leaks out.

Hi guys.
Just thought I'd drop in to say hi. I run http://www.aircooledvwsa.co.za" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and attended Volksworld on Sunday. I was very impressed with the line-up you guys had there
This one in particular... who does it belong too? Saw your "insurance sticker" and have another origin-related one for you if you want. Was going to give it to you personally but as you see from the photo, you had company.

PS a video with some of your line-up here:

Some wicked pics guys. I didn't get to talk to anyone apart from Faux (Jon). Spent most of the time buying new bits for the bus, got a 4" narrowed beam, drop spindles, CSP discs etc. With some (well loads really) help from Faux I hope to have it lowered within a couple of weeks.

I'll get some photos up soon! :mrgreen:

 

[Loxy]

drop spindles,

who was selling drop spindles there then?
