Re: Know of any good UK forums?
I don't know about Beetles, but the SSVC forums and earlybay.com forums are good for buses. I don't spend too much time there because most of the talk is about slamming it to the ground; it seems to be compulsory to lower a bus in the UK.

Re: Know of any good UK forums?
I find this forum and the posts to be very entertaining and down to earth

Re: Know of any good UK forums?
I ussually pop into T3D to see Paul Medhurst. He's a really nice and helpful guy. His workshop is near Cambridge. You can google it if you're interested, but phone ahead, he might be headless. Karmann Konnections is in South End, also quite fun. VW Heritage is south of London on the M23, not much fun, but good shopping. SSP is in ... aw FFS... just north of the (M25) Thames crossing, as you reach the M25 on the way back from South End... Hmmm maybe they've moved.

Re: Know of any good UK forums?
Thanks Guys! will look them all up and see how it goes. Hope i find enough time. sounds like you have done a few tours there Ron, the only bad part is that i dont have a weekend there as such, both are full of car related fun already.
Looks like there are two shows this weekend, pity i only arrive in europe on wednesday...
