This was a really good event last year. Tris., Purplepeter and I are going again this year. Anyone else fancy it? https://www.beaulieu.co.uk/events/simply-vw/ Entry for VW owners bringing their cars into the show is £10 adults and £5 children, and includes entry to the motor museum and the other Bea...

Club display is booked and the show is less than two weeks away, so if you would like to come along and join the club display (and get in for half price) please confirm below as soon as possible, so that I can send you a pass.

Cheers,
Ian

Me

Looking forward to this, really enjoyed it last year.

Thanks Kai

Anyone else interested in doing Beachbuggin this year?

We've only got two cars at the moment so not enough to book a club stand...

I need to confirm this week, so if anyone else is interested please can you let me know asap.

Cheers,
Ian

Does anyone want to join a club display again this year?

I can't go this year because I'll be on holiday, but I'm happy to arrange the club stand and PurplePete has offered to run things on the day.

Count me in

Count me in. I'd better get on with getting my engine rebuilt then...

Great location for a VW show and raising money for a good cause. There was a good turn out of VWs last year including a couple of Type 3s.

I'm hoping to go again this year, albeit in my Camper not my Fasty!

Cool photos Pete

Was good to meet you Stuart

Thanks everyone for a great day.

Hi Stuart, no problem, still a couple of places left. If you pm me your email address I'll send you a pass

Just emailed all the passes out.

See you Sunday

Club stand is all booked and passes arrived yesterday. We get 50% discount on entry price again. I'm on holiday at the moment with limited internet access, so will email passes out when I get home in a few days, probably Friday. Please can you pm me your email addresses.

Cheers, Ian.

Nice one Glen


Not long to go now and still a couple of places left if anyone else wants to join us.

Nah, it's a completely separate thing mate

Looks like my Fasty's not going to make it, my engine's started making a terminal sounding death rattle under load

No chance to fix before the show, so i'll probably be there in my Beetle.

Cheers Martin, will be good to see you again

Still a couple of places left if anyone else wants to join us...

Hi all,

We're booking a club stand again this year. Three of us confirmed so far (me, Tris and Purple Pete). Please let me know if you want to join us as soon as possible, so I can confirm numbers.

Cheers,

Ian

Thanks both. No luck on eBay. Found an engineering company that makes copper gaskets in all sizes. It's a bit academic now though. I ordered what I thought was a stock exhaust, but it's actually significantly different. No facility to refit the primary heater boxes, these are replaced by adapter pip...

Hi, anyone know where I can get these? Have tried various places but no luck. Was thinking of buying a stock exhaust from Status but they don't sell the crush rings either. Also, I want to replace the large jubilee style clips that clamp the rubber air intake to the fan and bodywork, but can't get t...

Thanks for the advice both. It does seem more like a sticking caliper than worn pads. We checked the pads not that many miles ago when changing wheel bearings and there was plenty of life in them, so would be surprised if they had worn that much in that time. The brake pipes and hoses had all been r...

Hi all, While driving my Fasty on a local journey today the LHF brake started making a continuous squeaking noise. On checking I found the disc was very hot, so I'm guessing the pad has worn down and the metal backing has started rubbing on the disc. Having said that, the brakes are working fine and...

Hi Paul,

I've used a Hamilton Classics cover for my Fastback for a couple of years now, and it's been really good.

Cheers,

Ian

We booked our tickets a couple of days ago, but we'll be in our Bay Camper not our Fastback...

Haven't done this event for ages so really looking forward to it (plus we're escaping from the kids for a couple of days ).
