In my continuing quest to not fall behind with photos and show reports this year, probably my least late homework ever! This was last weekend. Just sayin' Anyway, I'd never heard of it but this is the first year I've had a working VW so whatever. Apparently now in it's gazillionth year, this is a nice informal little show run by the London and Thames Valley VW Club at a great venue, Easthampstead Park near Bracknell. It's like some bizarre stately home in a estate parkland and formal gardens... definitely not the sort of place you'd expect a horde of scruffy Volkswagenista to naturally inhabit, but it certainly made a lovely change from the post-apocalyptic wasteland of t'Pod. Genuinely one of the nicest settings I've ever been to a car show in Another bonus was that it was near(ish)... not that I had any idea where Bracknell is - or even what Bracknell is - but the map thing showed it to be fairly nearby. Just as well, with a 1200 Beetle you're not getting anywhere fast. So I set out a lot less early than normal, set of to meet up with Ada and Lewis in the general vicinity of Guildford. Adam had got up stupidly early to find somewhere to clean his car. I... didn't However, stopping by a handy bush full of flowers for a photo she didn't seem to be too grimy.  Dolly and flowers by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Once Lewis and family rolled up we set off in the slowest convoy ever and it wasn't long before we arrived at the park. Straight in without queuing, nice people on the gate, local Scout group roped in to help with parking and marshaling, goodie bag on entrance, very civilised. Park up the MWVW massive in an appropriate bit of field. Done  MWVW by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Yeah, we suck at parking and they should be in red-white-blue order really. Never mind, we'll get the hang of it  MWVW courtesy Ada by Nick Liassides, on Flickr So, what to do now? Basically just wander about and look at cars. Is it that kind of show? Well, yes, and no. The setting, as I mentioned, is pretty stunning  House by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Gardens by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Beetle White 65 sacked by House by Nick Liassides, on Flickr In addition, there is a genuinely massive barbeque production line going on, with genuine charcoal-grilled meat wafting deliciously-fragranced smoke across the crowds.  Lunch by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Four of those ^ in a line, Yummy. There's a kids area with face painting and bouncy castles. There are two bandstands, one like some English lawn party from an Austen novel with wicker chairs laid in a semicircle on manicured turf. One's a proper stage with electric instruments and lights and microphones all that new fangled stuff. What a place. Very convivial. And in addition to all that, and rather weirdly, there are stormtroopers  Stormtroopers assemble by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Nope, really. Stormtroopers. See? Apparently this is part of the 501st Division, who basically dress up in costumes and hang around places for money. Now, try that round Kings Cross and you're likely to get a fascinating array of STDs and a few quid for services rendered, but this is a different kind of dressing up and selling yourself. And I have to say, the outfits are truly amazing and to my eyes anyway, as good as the real thing. Although I find the lack of height restrictions to apply to the Speeder Bike Corps slightly disturbing  Short for a speeder pilot by Nick Liassides, on Flickr I dunno if they really brought anything much to the proceedings other than the oddity of mooching about looking at cool cars and then you suddenly realise Darth Vader's standing next to you. Which is, undeniably, odd and not something that happens every day. Another oddity is that the autocorrect wants "stormtroopers" to become "spectrometers" Right, I'm off for a crafty fag. When I get back we'll look at some cars, yeah? |

Seems not that long ago that buses were the forgotten part of car culture. Other than the cognoscenti, those long-suffering hardcore who'd been immersed in that scene forever, no-one cared. Now it's got to the point where nut and bolt restos are going for 200 000 dollah at Barrett-Jackson and people are willing to drag two halves of a barndoor out of a Swedish morass and spend years rebuilding them from two dustpans of rust and a couple of lacework panels. With that in mind, some of these beauties are probably among the more valuable vehicles in Berkshire on this particular day! Especially in RHD. The British weather has not been kind to 60 year old ungalvanised steel. Even German steel  splittie van red n white smoothed by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  splittie van beige by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  splittie van beige d by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Splittie samba purple by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Splittie samba purple st wh by Nick Liassides, on Flickr One of my favourite accessories... the One Eyed Duck. It clips your wipers out of the way when you open your safari screens. And looks exactly like what it says in the description!  Splittie samba purple one eye duck by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Splittie samba brown by Nick Liassides, on Flickr I had a considerable amount of love for this impossibly shiny pickup, especially the interior. The clock in the steering wheel boss is especially neat  splittie pickup black by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  splittie pickup black clock by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Splittie Kombi lime 67 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr |

Shiny is not the only flavour. Patina and ratty is also a thing  Splittie Kombi flames 67 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr And given that the Type 2 was intended as a working vehicle when crazed Dutchman Ben Pons first envisaged one on the back of a beermat, it's nice to see there are still plenty that earn a living  splittie ice cream van 64 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Splittie camper yellow 64 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr There is a lot of brown involved. I suspect only VWs can really make brown cool, no matter what BL might have had to say about it  Splittie camper brown beige 65 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Splittie camper brown 65 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Splitscreens are not the only bus/van/camper flavour available, of course. The Bay Window might have received mixed receptions when it replaced the iconic splitscreen, but let's be honest, that was fifty-odd years ago now and for many people of my age, these were their first experience of that legendary VW campervan look. If you look closely at this picture you'll spot the sight of an Ada talking on an imaginary telephone. Probably speaking to The Voices...  Early Bay blue 71 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Crewcabs are all ends up awesome things, and even the inexplicably tiny cookie cutters don't seem too upsetting  Early Bay khaki crewcab 71 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr You can, if you like, even have your Bay in weird modern watercooled flavour... damn you, emissions regs. Comes with a Portuguese accent but we can't judge it for that  Bay Brasilia 12 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Radiator cooling means the spare wheel cover requires airflow, and thus if you stare at it too long the vented dot pattern will induce visions, hallucinations and ultimately, coma  Bay Brasilia 12 d by Nick Liassides, on Flickr And long before that, the "new" T25 was the VeeDub workhorse of a thousand small builders and oddjob men. And race teams  T25 '87 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr At first glance you wonder why it's got lumpy, rusted seams. Until you look closer and realise they're hundreds of bottletops, presumably legacy of all those late night bonfire evening sessions at t'Pod  T25 '87 bottlecaps by Nick Liassides, on Flickr These, by the way, are not the droids you're looking for...

And since we mentioned the third most famous VW originator, Brazil, how about some import strangeness? A Brasilia Variant, featuring Type 3 rear hauling space and slightly upsetting 412/SP2 front end. Yours for under 7k, which seems good value for such an unusual thing  Variant Brasilia by Nick Liassides, on Flickr And while we're on about Variants... Well, why not have an estate car that features and engine clogging up half the load space? Just lift things a bit higher to clear the tailgate. Honestly, some people want everything  Variant beige 67 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr In fact, while we're at it, let's round up all the oddities shall we? The Notchback was the first family car to come from VW that wasn't a Beetle, and it took long enough to convince Herr Nordhoff that it was a Good Thing. Sales never really challenged the Beetle output, but looking at a clean one now it's hard to understand why. Maybe it just looked too "normal" and modern  Notchback white 63 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Notchback white 63 d by Nick Liassides, on Flickr For me, I prefer the fastback style. I remember one of these living in the next street over when I was a kid, and thinking it looked fearsomely fast and modern. Like (whisper it) a Porsche almost. Now it really doesn't, of course. But it does look great  Fastback 70 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Fastback 70 d by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Fastback 70 r by Nick Liassides, on Flickr And on the subject of things that look like Porsches...  356 Speedster by Nick Liassides, on Flickr As I often bang on about, Speedsters and 356s in general are like Cobras and GT40s; when you see one you automatically assume "replica". Does it matter? Probably not. Not when they look this good!  356 Speedster d by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  356 Speedster grey by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  356 Speedster grey dsh by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  356 Speedster grey d by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Don't get much more odder than this. One of Dagenham's finest Popular vehicles with a bootful of unexpected engine. And a bit of Betty. Mmmm, love a bit of Betty  Popular by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Also don't get much odder than this. In amongst all the Star Wars characters you see a pair of fellas in jumpsuits and walking wellies. No-one knows who the hell they're pretending to be. Until some long-buried memory clicked with something deep in the neural mroass of my memory and I remembered a curse word BBC TV series we used to have to watch... because there were only three channels on the telly... and a strange Galactic Federation run by a butch woman with a crew cut long before Weepy Sinead made it acceptable. "Blake's 7!" I blurted out before my brain had even let my mouth know anything significant was on the way. Bless them, you've never seen anyone sooooooo pleased to be recognised. And now I feel old. Funny thing is, there's a Corgi model of the Liberator on the shelf not six feet from where I sit typing this  Federation troops by Nick Liassides, on Flickr |

More anomalies. What appears to be a genuine early M3. Hiding in the shrubbery so as not to attract unwanted attention  BMW M3 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Bonus restomod '69 Camaro. Wheels are too big, needs RS headlight doors but... y'know.... I still would Camaro 69 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Of course, upsetting though it may be to admit it, VW didn't just cease to exist when they stopped churning out eleventy zillion aircooled things a year. My motoring life has been traumatised by my first car having been (possibly the worst ever) MkI Golf, so it pains me to admit that there was Volkswagen after watercooling. But my own personal neuroses aside, even I have to admit that some of these modern confections are really quite cool. And pretty.

My Uncle had a Scirocco. This was at a time when we still had a 1300 Beetle and my grandad had a brown MkI Escort. The 'rocco looked like a spaceship come to dwell amongst us primitive creatures. Honestly, it was the equivalent of the monolith nestling among the monkeymen at the start of 2001: A Space Odyssey! They still look great. Even held together by what looks like bathroom caulking  Scirocco white 92 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Scirocco 92 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Scirocco 92 scabs by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Scirocco 90 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr My mum had a breadvan Polo, too. I got to use it for a fortnight as reward for driving her to the airport for a holiday. I might not have been so chuffed had I known in advance that there was a Tina Turner greatest hits (if that ain't an oxymoron) jammed in the cassette player on auto-reverse and you couldn't turn the sodding thing off! I ended up taking out the tape player to find she'd wedged it in on top of the playing cradle with another tape already in it somehow, and bent it so badly I couldn't get the first cassette out at all (Becos woman... if it doesn't fit, MAKE IT FIT). So I managed to swap Tina for an endless loop of whalesong music. This was the Eighties and such things were supposed to make you calm and beatific. It didn't make me *&%$!@ing very calm after two solid weeks of the damned thing, I was willing to sponsor the entire Japanese and Norwegian whaling fleets combined. Wipe them all out, the smug tootling finny bastards! *ahem* Anyway, my mum's Polo was nowhere near as groovy as this one  Polo breadvan 87 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Polo breadvan 87 louvres by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Interlude for bonus Princess Leia in disguise as bounty hunter Boushh  Leia Boushh by Nick Liassides, on Flickr right, that's enough watercooled frippery. Shall we ease ourselves back into proper aircooled righteousness then? Starting with a late Bay that I missed putting into the earlier section of Type 2s. Swamp cooler is cool in so many meanings of the word  Late Bay blue 77 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr There were surprisingly few Karmann Ghias about, which was a shame. One ofthe prettiest cars ever designed, and no, that's not up for discussion, it just is. Even blighted by stupid massive 'Murican 5mph bumpers and ridiculously humongous rear lights on later cars they still just exude beauty. Shame there's only a couple to choose from  Karmann Ghia green 73 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Karmann Ghia red by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Aaaaaaand... lunch break. Back in a mo, we'll look at some Beetles, yeah? |

So, Beetles then.Since we last said "Karmann", seems a logical place to start. Funny to think that it took Wilhelm Karmann quite a while to convince the notoriously conservative head of VW, Heinz Nordhoff that the Beetle needed a drop-top version. Eventually Heinrich acquiesed to the indescribably beautiful Hebmuller version as well as the Osnabruck firm's version and whist the Wuppertal version ended tragically young in a devastating fire, the canvas-loving Beetle fraternity still had Wilhem's version and never looked back. In fact, long after the saloon Beetle had ceased to exist anywhere other than as Mexican taxis, the Karmann cabroilet soldiered on selling by the bucketload. Even into the days of the bulgy-windowed 1303 base. Strange there were only a few at Easthampstead, then.  Karmann Cabrio pearl 70 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Karmann Cabrio pearl 70 d by Nick Liassides, on Flickr My wedding car was a Pug 106 Quiksliver Edition. Rather less cool than this, then  Karmann Cabrio green by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Karmann Cabrio green boquet by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Karmann Cabrio green dsh by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Of course, for the more intrepid customiser and those hardy souls who don't mind living with the fibreglss itch, there's another route to wind in your hair aircooled VeeDubbin. The time honoured buggy... not quite so appealing on a wet weekend in Clacton as in the Cali sun, perhaps, but cool when it all comes together on the three sunny days of the year. Not sure why an aircooled vehicle need s aradiator grille but there you go  Buggy blue LWB by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Buggy brown by Nick Liassides, on Flickr So spangly!

And finally, Beetles. After all, that's pretty much why I'm here. And I love them all, even ones with tiny upright headlights and prolapsed widscreens and elephant's feet. Ratty ones, immaculate ones, late ones, early ones. They're all good. So in no particular order (or more probably, alphabetical order that Flickr put them in)... Many, many exhausts. This is good. Becos it is Beetle yellow 72 r by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Slightly jealous of this. Same model year as mine, but with twice as many factory door mirrors. Ooooh, luxury!  Beetle White 72 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Phat and phast. Love the LED or whatever they are compound headlights. And the ****-off engine  Beetle White 71 dragster by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Beetle White 71 dragster r by Nick Liassides, on Flickr You can tell this one's a rat. It's got a rat on the roofrack, see?  Beetle White 67 rat by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Beetle White 67 rat Rat by Nick Liassides, on Flickr As I often say, it's all about the details!

And several inches shorter than Ada. I know it's the wrong film but you can't help but give it a Dalton D. Dalton Road House "I thought you'd be taller..."  Darth Volkswagen by Nick Liassides, on Flickr while we were wandering about the carparks, we ended up at the entry gate. Where we asked the very nice people there why two out of the three goddy bags we'd been given were empty. Just empty paper bags. Nicely printed paper bags, yes... but utterly devoid of sweets, stickers, air fresheners and all the stuff that was there in one third of them. They never quibbled or asked for evidence, just gave us some nice full ones. Apparently there was a mix up at the bag stuffing plant! Lovely people, great atmosphere.

This is a pretty famous old Beetle. Mag featured, poster boi for VW Heritage, and it's easy to see why. No air, no juice, just mad static drop and serenely scraping its was through life. Plus mega-rare Aussie trim and all sorts of cool period schmutter. Lovely  Beetle White 65 sacked by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Beetle White 65 sacked r by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Beetle White 65 sacked d by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Beetle pale green 61 r by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Funny to think there was a time when your Beetle fuel gauge was a metric stick. Thank the Lord for Dehne.  Beetle pale green 61 dehne by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Beetle pale green 61 d by Nick Liassides, on Flickr This is what my childhood looked like; an orange M-reg Beetle. We went everywhere in that... three kids, two adults, pulling a trailer full of camping gear. From Sussex to the Lake District, Wales, everywhere! Looking back I've no idea how my parents managed to do that without going utterly insane. Even as an eight-year-old it seemed to take a long time to get anywhere. And the M25 wasn't even a thing then. Anyway, this is lovely and not just because it makes me feel six again  Beetle orange 73 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Typical! You think you're all that in your gorgeous '64 Bug and then some sod comes and parks a nearly identical one right next to you and boasts about his towel rails  Beetle grey 64s by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Beetle grey 64 II by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Beetle grey 64 I by Nick Liassides, on Flickr  Beetle grey 64 I r by Nick Liassides, on Flickr |

We had burgers, we sat on the lawn while the kids scurried about (or slept), we listened to several bands, most of whom were good and one of which were excellent. We got sunburnt. We got to meet Darth Vader. We got to chill out and recharge our mojo in the presence of one of the most chilled-out show vibes I've ever experienced. And it was GOOD Great day out, already looking forward to next year. And then we went home, in three fifty-odd year old cars. AND NONE OF THEM BROKE DOWN! Amazing. Pic courtesy of Ada  MWVW convoy co Ada by Nick Liassides, on Flickr Got home, put my photos on the computer. Halfway through checking them, our takeaway curry arrived. Forgot to finish checking photos. Deleted memory card in camera. Yep, fifty or so photos hadn't transferred to the computer. Gone forever Balls Oh well, hopefully the ones that made it are worth your time looking at. Cheers for stopping by and hope you enjoyed it. That's it. I've finished. You can go now |

See other forum for my reply  seriously though, it was a great day out. As much as I love going to the pod that was all about the racing for me where as this was just so chilled out and relaxing. Definitely do this again next year. Shame there wasn’t a few more stands selling parts though. Still can’t get over how unnerving Vadar was even though I was bigger than him. Couldn’t look him in the eyes properly. Did make me laugh though when I asked where all the good guys were and he said ‘I have crushed them’ in his asthmatic tones Adam |
