I was starting to wonder if anyone from here had gone! :shock: 😃

I am assuming the 4 door gold beetle is home-made? What a HUGE amount of work! :shock:

Also did you take a pic of this one? Or know about it? (Picture from Restowagen)

Also, 356boy's sunroof oval, oh, if only I could afford to buy it for myself... just imagine it with a quick swap back to standard height whitewall crossplies on stock wheels, throw away that nasty big engine, take a razorblade to that back window, and its my perfect dream car!*! ( He will kill me for suggesting this :lol: ! )

Thanks Jules! I was pleased with that shot, most of the rest were pretty standard.

I have just realised that your car was displayed facing the wall?!
What numbskull at Volksworld decided to do that :?: :!: I'd love to hear their excuse given it was one of the best pre67 cars on display.

I agree that uk restorations should get pride of place, but that was blown out of the water by the brown 50. ( Like its the only 50 sunroof or well restored split sunroof beetle in the world :roll: :lol: Yawn. 50% good car/50% hype)
There was a custom custard yellow fastback on a platform for Cliff's sake!*! :? :lol:

But you know there's a lot of 'mates rates' with Volksworld 😳
Just reminds me why I dont go any more.

Still on the positive side, you escaped getting the front of your car covered in greasy chip and beer handprints! 😃

Wow THAT IS EXCELLENT!! :D
You are so clever.
Now if I make up a list and you could just make a film exactly like that for every show, I can stay at home this year and not get the cars out of the garage at all! :idea:

😃
I love the speeded up buggy on the turntable :lol:

I like your vids Rob...usually. :lol:

I'm a bit of a muso and like to think despite my advancing years I can embrace most genré but whatever the soundtrack was could you let me know the title so I can avoid it in future. :wink:

I attended this year on the Sunday as I do most years. It's not my favourite show by any means, mainly because there is too much crammed into a small space; the weather is usually freezing, the high percentage of shiny, big engined, slammed clones in the main hall and a high percentage of rusty, big engined, slammed clones outside.

Why do I go? I like to meet like-minded people where we can walk round and pick holes in most of the exhibits. Then we go round the "For Sale" lot, to see how much more unrealistic the traders have become since last year's show.

To my age group Victor Meldrew is not someone to pity...he's a role-model. On second thoughts I do quite enjoy it. 😃

:lol: The music is not something I'm immensely proud of, so it's fine if you don't like it!! Just turn your speakers off and try to avoid eye contact when I see you at Stanford Hall :wink:

To fit in with our Brazilian Bus, (which featured all too briefly I might add) maybe something with a Samba rhythm. :wink:

:!:

Actually I thought your music was really good and wondered if you had made it?! (Because I know you are a bit clever like that) Hence I posted that other link with the terrible music!
My brother used to make similar soundtrack music for sony games and similar, and I certainly know I could'nt do it!

Dont you listen to that Judson man, he's a right troublemaker!
