Volksworld 2009 Show

Post by eben »

Hi All,
So I just came back from the Volksworld(of which the last issue has 52 pages out of 116 articles the rest are ads) show. Payed £14 to get in. LOOAAAAADDDSS of cars and busses, LOOOOOAAAAAADDDSSSS of parts. ANY parts you can thinks of, new. Then of course you have Ricky James of SSVC talking about busses and telling everyone to get busses from SA and AUS because "as everybody knows, UK busses are rotten" :jerkoff:
What are they making all of those repair panels for then? :evil:
They even built a whole new beetle over the weekend from NOS parts that are available in the UK.
Strange mixture of people as well..... suffice to say, I enjoyed looking at the cars :)
On the upside I could find only 3 or 4 SA origin cars & busses and only one set of rostyles :P
Blitz there were 2 kph Type 3 trip speedos but i didn't have enough cash on me :P

Strange thing is that the ones that the people attending admired the most, are the ones that can't really be driven :s
