Le Bug Show - Spa 2010

[abusbro]

Just back from an awesome show - Le Bug Show at Spa race track in Belgium. THE show to go to if you're into Beetles and big engines! Happy to report the fire panel never missed a beat there and back! Here are a few pics that might interest you all:

















Not sure the following attachment came as standard on Fire panels... !!!

Cracking pics! Looks like you had some decent weather too.
The unusual roof apparatus is M-code587b - Roof mounted photographer
That camping area looks a bit harsh though!

Cheers John, yep weather was tops... though we did drive through a thunderstorm on route, (bit worrying at the time) but after a grey start Sat morning the sun shone all weekend!

There was some grass to camp on but it was first come first serve, as for our pitch i didn't feel a single stone in the back of the van you'll have to ask mi bruv how he got on in the tent - though with the amount of Belgium beer being "sampled" i doubt it was much of an issue!!

Sorry to hear about your KatS misfortune hope to see the the bus back on the road and down at Vanfest.

i doubt i'll ever get to grips with these M-codes... who'd have thought that if M587 means either a Hannover radio (LW,MW,FM) with automatic search and tape deck - or - Salzgitter radio (FM) with tape player connnection... that M587b would be a roof mounted photographer...???!!!!!

great pics, i think it's about time i went international with the shows

To use an adage from Peter Kay:

International shows are like Garlic bread...
It's the future Pete... i know, i've tasted it....!!!

Couple of good one's next year, European Bug-in at Chimay in Belgium, similar to the show at Spa, it's held everyother year i think? Or if you prefer older stock bugs and buses then there's Bad Camberg in Germany, only held every 4 years, and it's on in 2011!

bad camberg is very tempting indeed........as is garlic bread
