Nice pics! I'd love a beach buggy with chunky metalflake paint! Reminds me of dodgems as a kid.

Great pics. Was a good day but didnt take my camera. That black rod with the '40 ford wheels was nice, and that red metalflake was full-on, but i cant see my favourite car of the day yet.

I used to go to Volksworld every year (it's only 15 mins from me) but started to find it was the same cars year in year out, so I stopped going about 6 years ago. I might go again next year as it looks a little different again  Great pics btw! |

FOUR Hebmullers. Four! Mind blown. I was there with the family too (first time at VoWo) and what a refreshing change it is to go to a show where a) it's largely indoors so even curse word weather doesn't matter and b) they've actually done something to cater for kids so they don't spend the day moaning about being bored. Bloody excellent show  A lot of VWs, but excellent nonetheless  .....FOUR Hebmullers  FOUR! |

I was chatting to one of the organisers today who said that just those 4 cars were insured for over £1,000,000!! |

Currently driving a Renault Wind Gordini as my daily. Don't ask about previous cars - there have been way too many and I stopped counting at 160!

Whilst I appreciated the Hebs (as most would) I still love that Rometsch Lawrence that's pictured above (rear view) and really don't get bored of looking at it. So answer me the question - how many of those Rometsch's have you ever seen in the flesh compared with those common-or-garden Hebs then?! Sure I've seen a Heb at Stanford Hall before?  Plus I loved these easy weekend resto spit n polish lowlight KGs that probably would have disintegrated if taken off the trailers! These couple of pics make them look a lot less rough than they were.   |

I like to think that I'm able to recognise most cars, even if I cant name them, and every other car at that show was a familier shape to me, even if i didnt have a clue what it was called. When I saw that tho, i was stuck. Even reading the badge on the boot didnt help me! |

^ I absolutely love these coachbuilt cars, they're just gorgeous and I would be very happy to own any of them in any condition. Some great info about Rometsch's here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rometsch#1951_Rometsch_BeeskowThe Beeskow is a lovely car as well. Looks a bit Porsche 356 at the back, bit of Merc 190/300 in there as well, with a common-as-muck beetle underneath! |

I've seen two Lawrences and three Beeskows. But Zero Hebmullers. I think I've only ever seen two Fridolins as well.  |

There's some brilliant cars there, all of them I'd give a second look, but I wonder if we've reached "peak patina" yet? Don't get me wrong, when it's done well it can look great but it seems to be the easy default option for the VW scene (and hot rod scene too). We're well past the time when it was a way to stand out on the showfield, among the big budget builds and plastic bodied replicas. After all no one's kidding that a split screen Type 2 or an early Beetle is a cheap car anymore.
I suppose I just like colour.
The "Li'l Devil"race car is the stand out one there for me, and maybe the ex Colin Burnham Cal Looker.

Great pics guys. Got a lot of love for a Notch at the moment. Been a few years since I last went to VoWo after a good mate of mine (with a T25 Club Joker) moved to Cornwall. Wouldn't seem right turning up in a modern Ford!

Kieft en Klok, Techno Classica Essen, and Aircooled Winterfest at Rosmalen. |

Nice pictures. I haven't been for a couple of years when a mate from Cardiff debuted his car and won Best of Show! Best of show this year was the insanely detailed '65 cal looker built many years ago, won BofS around 2004, sold, bought back and rebuilt again. Lyndon has gone to amazing amounts of detail. How about smoothing out the casting marks on the gearbox casing then instead of polishing the ribs to contrast with the gloss black, silver leaf on each one. Oh, and a gold pinstripe to finish. Theres a build thread on The Cal Look Lounge with photos to make you feel realky inferior.
