Anyone else from the UK going with their Campers and, if so, any chance of hooking up?

 

Be great to see some of you out there.

I thought only misguided Brits did the luvy bit with Hitler's revenge? --- Seems I was wrong :-(

 

I can't see that there is anything to celebrate about those rear-engined horrors; except for those who earnt well from fixing them.....often.... & expensively.

 

As for the final VW 'engineering' joke of wrapping some tinware around that weak air-cooled head-cracking piston-burning engine to make it water-cooled, ....................... no, I wont go on about what that lead to.

 

I now await the Inquisition Dept. of the VW Anorak Assoc. to send out the death squad.

If I had my VW Westphalia which I had for seven years I would go. it was an immaculate Californian import - but as family grew she had to go but too a good home...... :-(

 

I Don't normally go for blonde's (sorry Michele :-D) but would def make an exception for Barbara Schoneberger she looks like the kinda disciplinarian I'm used to..... :-D

That's very cool- there are several similar but less extensive VW rallies over here.

A historic vehicle that launched a thousand adventures!

When I sold my last Westy I wrote a little paean to it on the US Westfalia forum:-)  :
