Wowh! What a weekend! This was really a hell of a show, close to 2000 participating Volkswagens, I don’t know how many thousands of visitors yet, but let us just call it…insane! The weather for sure didn’t let us down this edition!

A couple of pictures for You to tease, a full picture report will follow as soon as we can!

The BBT crew, ready to leave Friday around lunch time!

Packed, I guess that’s the right word for it…

cool rides, everywhere, just a few impressions….

a lot of Brits made the crossing, not only for the party….:)

cool little looker?

Custom will never go away, always new cars popping up… I don’t appreciate the style too much myself, but I do appreciate the time of labor for such a project, congratulations!
extreme cool low light from Spain…

The drive through the tunnel under the race track is a a “mustdo” for many over the weekend, the atmosphere? The picture tells it all, pick ups loaded with friends and people, and beach buggies out in full force!

and food stalls more busy as ever! the nice thing about this location is all different levels, and when busy, there is Volkswagens just everywhere! so cool!

White Ghia before the white red cross building, thought this was a cool one!

am I low enough?

Monster buggy?

and let us trow in a little bit of art!

Old radar kombi from Belgian police dept, now serve as a bar! Watch the bottles hanging upside down in the front door, way better as a camera to catch speed freaks! Why can’t they make bars from all radar cars? Traffic would be so much easier!!!!….LOL!

Now, this is what I call a cool trailer!

original paint 15 window, without comment…..

nice line ups just everywhere!

another Combo that simply had to make our Blog!

Panelvan with Buggy Bro.
BBT Booth with our picture wall, yours truly was busy talking all weekend long!

Vippies before BBT’s picture wall included old friend and former of Super VW magazine Jacky Morel from Lege Cap Ferret France, it was good to see Jacky back in Spa!

My absolute favorite picture of the weekend, I should frame and hang above my bed…. from Left to right… Paul Yvon Duffieux (in the back ground) Paul Yvon is the big engine and organiser of “le Bug Show” , Cathy Morel (wife of Jacky)  Linda and me,  Winnie Meyers, (wife of Bruce), French VW legendJacky Morel, and Bruce Meyers, the man himself! At age of 88 is handing out autographs like never before! For those who don’t know (shame on You!) Bruce is and was the inventor of the Beach buggy! All forgotten a mere 25 years ago, and brought back to VW scene (and to buggy business as well) by Jacky Morel, nobody else can claim that honor! and Bruce? well he’s one of the more happy people I know today!

The line up for price giving… ain’t the race track real fabulous and even some magic? Imagine of all racing legends that battled here! They drove over this immaculate stretch of race track, only dreamin’….

One more of another magic moment, Bruce signing T shirts “full force!”

We met so many people, we had so many good laughs, had such good discussions, all weekend long, but one stands out… Denis, from former GDP VW shop in Brussels, this guy was the 5th BBT distributor back in the day, he wrote with us on our success story , so good to see old chaps back one day… thanks Denis,

Don’t miss out Spa “Le Bug Show” to me this is one of the very very best VW show on planet Earth! And I don’t even attend the parties, the night shows etc etc…. a weekend is simply too short!

Busy show season is here for sure! The incredible cool and beautiful Belgian historical race track of Spa Francorchamps is calling all air cooled aficionados this weekend for the Mega “Le Bug Show” 2014 this weekend, don’t miss the party….  .

Yesterday we had a blast when we visited splitbus nation 2014 edition.

This bi annual event is only dedicated on Split window buses, and a mere 109 units attended this cool and lay back show!

We drove out in full force, no less as four splitties from our collection (non for sale sorry) drove along…

and we got a nice display as main sponsor off course!

Our little private line up, we do love our babies, oh yes sir!

Splitbus nation is all about lay back bus life, no stress, hang loose!

Yours truly with our two sons, a rather rare quality family moment on picture! ….:) Frederik is now 1.94m and Nicolas at age 12 overgrew mom already! Frederik drove the 1959 family westy with a lot of likes on his facebook I guess!…:)

The Flandria Single cab is one of my favorites of all time… I used to played around Flandria light motorcycles for years before kicking of in VW land! still a weak spot!

Bob Hammond Driver BBT Hans and his girlfriend Leentje talk with BBT fan and one of the drivers behind this show Dieter Tarwe…

This music band was hilarious! All instruments made from trash, but the sound was real recognizable and extreme cool!

Extreme cool combo in our eyes!

Line up full with only splitties, did we love the views? You bet!

BBT’s Limo bounce castle was out in force, and attracted tons of children pure for amusement!

More cool buses everywhere!

This is what’s all about, a bunch of good weather, a load of buses and all people just “hanging out” welcome to the bus crowd baby!

I got the reaction that this bus would be suit perfectly our Capt. America…. LOL!

Nice high and dry, dessert seeker deluxe….:)

BBT crew up to our next destination… we’re out in force baby!

Crew had hilarious times loading up BBT’s bounce caste again in its own Westy trailer!

Driving back home, I was in the 58 double door walk through, we catched loads of rain, but hey was it worth it? Split window buses are like sex believe me, but just that much different…. Ha!

Complete picture report will come online anytime soon, and will be given notice on our blog….. what a beautiful Sunday!
