Damn, I knew I forgot something in Bad Camberg....the promised beer and meeting with the sambaguys.
But I guess I was to bussy to collect Hebmüller and Karmann convertibles details with Claus. And....I got my beer also :lol:
Next time maybe.

Rob Amos runs the Pre67 vintage VW site in the UK and has superb photography and video skills. I really like how he captures the "people" aspect of the show (and the RAIN), not just cars. Sunday morning before we left Bad Camberg, he rode along with me in the '49 in a short tour of the countryside and neighboring towns. VERY well done video.

I´d be just happy with the money all the people and the swap meet dealers had in their pockets that day. There was a LOT around.

Believe me, I have to pinch myself sometimes to make sure I am not dreaming. So grateful to BBT Bob for giving me a cool split to drive. If you are really into driving vintage VWs, this show (and Hessisch) are about as good as it gets!!
