Just gt back form the Volksworld show... yes I know its aircooled, but the quality of the cars is astounding... the race inspired beetles are incredible (I was there back in 89....gulp...old man... :o)
Looking forward to one of the shows in may.. they have the old Gasser style V8 racers against the quickest VW bugs, which the used to run in the mid 90's... that will be mad again.. ;D

i went to Run To The Sun a few times, '96, '97 and '99 i think
its gotten worse over time, and the founder has now died too
-
My Dad used to be a mechanic on vw's, went on many a holiday in a camper when i was a kid!
-
i did run to the sun in 97 and 98 - makes me laugh - the AA must hate that weekend, having to tow all those broken down campers back from newquay :D
-
I went to volksworld today as I only live about a mile from it and it was wicked, been every year since it started and its always good.
The best part of the show for me was the DJ in a orange split screen camper who had the crowds outside going.

96 - stayed in a tent - best year, was so wasted didnt know what was up.. hehe
97 (or 98?) stayed in a static van.. year of the naked people.. was there with my bosses green bus (a bay) that had hydro's and a loud ass system, we had a party around the bus. and got invaded by nekky ppl.. was kinda cool :) van was quite far out tho
99 - stayed in a static van, had a huge party coz we had 2 vans next to each other, and we took a sound system, lasers, lights and decks.. we got shut down by security :'(
its fallen off since then, lots of novas and pill 'eds

nice :)
i fell in love with ghia's when a saw a metallic red low light convertible one parked on the side of the road somewhere we drove past when was at RTTS '96 :)
would love one for a summer cruise wagon :)
-
Your ghia is superb ;D
Bernard newbury's green KG is still looking amazing, parked in the yesteryear display downstairs... I wa into aircoooled from 89 to around 97, just before my daughter was born, and when i sold my 63' squareback..boo hoo..
Cant seem to get them out of my blood... My mate had a stand there (VW emporium ) and had his recently restored ( super smashing great) split screen camper on the camper stand, for sale at ?10k.. they are fetching incredible money at the moment :D
-
cheers for the coments, anyone going Big Bang, at the pod?
-
Yes mate, I am.. thats the show I meant with the V8's V the old skool veedub racers.. cant wait 8) ;D arghh cant stop looking at your Ghia...
I dunno if you remeber an odd green coloured 60's KG which one best Ghia at Beetle bash circa 95 or 96 ?? It was featured in Volksworld. It was owned by an old mate, paul Nixon, and we had to push it up onto the stage to get the award as the engine seized on the way there !! nice trip home with the AA ad no problems with traffic...come on !!!!!
-
i was thinking of selling my camper and 16v in the autumn and use the money towards a rallye, but after seeing those splitties, think i will just sell the camper and put that in a splittie fund and get one in the new year. ;D
i might be at big bang but stamford hall is on the same weekend. on the sunday
-
yeah i know, i do both ;)
heres some more pics of the ghia for ya
