Do you chaps know there's a VW camper event on at Haynes this weekend called Vanwest (www.vanwest.net)? I like this comment about the Haynes museum:

"With more than 340 cars... displayed in stunning style"

Don't expect there to be a lot of room in the car park... I don't know at which point you're expected to pay but there's a £5 entry fee on Sunday to get into the show - if it's on the gate of the car park then everyone would have to cough up.

I'm going to be going along to the Vanwest show, so maybe I'll see some of you there (in the 480 though, vacuum leak not sorted yet).

Cheers, Ed

Erm, ahh, no, knew nothing of that ;) Ah well, more to look at! I'd love a 480 on a day like today, must be great to have a paddling pool built into the boot :P

My paddling pool doesn't appear to be fully plumbed-in yet. :roll: Maybe in time for next summer... (although I haven't owned a car for much longer than 6 months for the past 3 years, so maybe I'll never experience that pleasure).

I wouldn't get too excited guys, that was from the VWcamper site, so might only be open to VW camper people. Might not but......

You may get a chance Chris. How much earlier were you thinking?

I'll be coming along with my navigator :P I don't think you'll get me on the track though unless you let me drive your car lol

Lets get a proper list

Still, should be a good day, if it is too busy, we can always head to a pub or something!

I've litterally just got in from working on Fakes latest mod... and will have to be up again in the morning to finish it... so I'll see everyone at 11 as planned!
