Nope! Bodywork nothing to do with Paul this time Chris. Dragged it up to "Streetwagens HQ" where we laid into the majority of it. Jeff @ JCWelding squeezed me in for a few finishing touches 'cos he's a proper gent and a welding demon. Still a few things to finish but it made it to Hessich.... just....... which was the aim of the game

The most amazing thing was seeing Bens -51 on the road.
I´ve seen it a couple of times here in sweden. I never tought it would hit the road again.
One B-post and both A-posts were cut of by the previous owner. Bengt and Thomas got the A posts for their -50.

cheers dude. Yeh shame about the spun drum but many, many thanks to the BBT back up crew, and Pascal in particular for being a proper gent. Next time I'll make sure we have enough time to do all of our own mechanics!! Still, all was fixed by Saturday night thanks to Dai, Buzz & Kev. Cheers for your efforts chaps........ and to everyone else who was searching the Hessich autojumble for the very-unlikely-to-find-at-hessich late bug rear drums! Cheers Bobby for bringing some spares with him in the DKW too! |

WOW! That was the best vintage show the world has ever seen! You can look at a million pictures, but until you go...you'll never know. That was awesome! I'd like to thank everyone that put that show on and especially the TEAM! They all did an incredible job, working long hours and running all over town! There was too much to see and do! You couldn't see it all. I'd also like to thank all the people who showed up with a vehicle! and those that just showed up! EVERYONE! Thanks! I can't wait for 2017!
Here are some pictures I took. Enjoy
Tune up time with the Duke. This is my best Cunado laser death ray point and Paul Wisk impersonation.
Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn? I don't think so. When super models ask you to camp...that's what you do! If the van is rocking.....
These are nice...reminds me of home
Not too many Amerikantsy doing European studies this year...but I did find this LA exile
Just another normal traffic jam
The Duke of Delft slips past security. Friday was rocking with action!
Swap meet was crazy insane...yes, I found some good stuff...but it wasn't cheap. I ran out of money a few times!
Nice old bus!
Nice old bus two
Nice old buses everywhere!
Old favorite...Mark, I'll come over and give that thing a wax job...for free Glad you could make it!
These guys were everywhere!
Look at all these guys! "Oh man, if I had that right now, I would be getting all the girls."... "Back in the day, I used to rock a van just like. I had all the lady's friends lined up for rides!"
They were even doing restorations right in the center of town...during the show!
Show winner! I believe this won best of show? I like it!
A real family event!! Hitting the streets with the wife and kids in the back. Nice!
The hardcore Brits stayed till the end!
Check this photo out carefully... You can see Jesus looking over my shoulder.
The taxis in town were really nice! Plenty of leg room!
3 weeks in Europe and I stayed in a hotel only one night, but the only room they had left was the Willy Wonka suite. I even found the golden ticket. OKAY! |
