VW Parts For Sale / "Beetle" for sale - may help with V5 issues !!
« on: February 10, 2020, 02:46:41 PM »
Its an unproven one as yet, but for those of you running about with "Beetle" on your V5, then why not stick this badge on the back of your Buggy.
The running gear is Beetle, The Paperwork says Beetle, and now . . . So does the badge on the back !!
Problem solved !
These are not the cheesy plastic ones, but proper metal letters that are individually stuck on 120mm x 20mm
I have a few of these left £9.99 including postage

The Newark Kit Car Show is being relaunched for 2020
Dates are 25th and 26th of July at teh Newark Showground NG24 2NY
I have been approached to see if we want a Club stand (stupid question really) but I need a rough idea of numbers to book it
Who would be up for it?

Events, Cruises and Gatherings / Stoneleigh 2~3rd May - FRIDAY INSTEAD OF MONDAY !!
« on: January 03, 2020, 11:12:50 AM »
Just in the process of Booking Stoneleigh, however, there are a few changes this year
Because the UK has decided to shift the May Bank Holiday this year to coincide with the War anniversary, our usual Stoneleigh Monday has been compromised.
The show is now Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd May 2020
But this year the gates open at noon on Friday 1st May for those of us that want to camp early with Saturday being a full show day instead of the mid day bun fight to get in.
Will let you know more when I have confirmation

Beach Buggy Rolling Chassis Help / Help with White lettering
« on: November 18, 2019, 10:56:02 PM »
Buggers,
I know a similar conversation was on here a while back, but cannot find it.
Looking for a longer lasting alternative to the el-cheapo white lettering pen, and I recall that someone came up with something ?

VW Parts For Sale / Wolface / American Racing Slot Mags - Adaptors / Caps - 8.5" x 15"
« on: September 05, 2019, 11:29:23 AM »
Buggers,
I have a pair of Holy Grail 8" x 15" Slot mags for sale. They are the American Racing ones that were made under license from Wolfrace (or other way around) and they are identical to the Wolfrace one in every way, both cosmetically and legitimately
They are 5 stud Chevy / Jag fitment - BUT . . . As you can see there is also included a pair of 4 x 130 stud adaptors so that they will bolt straight onto the standard Beetle axles. Centre caps are also included.
The condition is pretty good as you can see with no kerbing, welding or damage, and I have run these ones on my own Buggy to ensure that they are straight and true. They could really benefit with a clean and polish, but wouldn't take much to get them back to pristine condition.
Looking for around £475 for the Pair from club members before I list them on the bay of E
Located in Paignton, Devon for your collection - No Post

GB Buggies / IBW 2019 - Holland - What else could have possibly gone wrong?
« on: June 04, 2019, 11:00:22 PM »
The International Buggy Weekend of 2019 was to be hosted in Holland, the venue of both my first and favorite back in 2014. From the minute it was announced, I was so excited and have spent the last few months thinking about the trip with my mates, meeting up with old euro friends, the utter madness of our Dutch hosts, and ultimately what to call my story at the end of it. I went through many silly names, and upon my return back to Blighty after an awesome trip, could only think of one " What else could have possibly gone wrong? ".
Without exception, everyone I have spoken to has had a really tough year, and this trip was always going to have an element of sadness because one of our tribe was missing. Chad, however, found a great way to ensure that our good mate Paddy would still be with us for this journey with his fantastic T-Shirt design. Good News, Paddy was now with us.
The scene had now been set for what would ultimately be our most memorable trip abroad, albeit for the wrong reasons.
So grab a brew, stick your Stroopwafel on the top and let me tell you a tale of what it truly means to be a part of our Buggy Community.

VW Parts For Sale / 295 x 50 x 15 Tyres
« on: March 17, 2019, 08:53:55 AM »
Buggers,
I have a pair of old 295 x 50 x 15 tyres here looking for a new home.
They hold air just fine, but as you can see the tread is just starting to crack between the chunks. Not too serious though, but needs pointing out
you may well get a summer out of them?
but I bought them, and am now selling them for those who are "mocking up" a project for size, as that's exactly what I have been using them for.
Looking to haggle around £40 for them (before I sell them on VZi to an idiot for double that)
Too big and heavy to post (been quoted £25) so collection from Paignton
