European Bug In was a blast.
Last weekend the quaint town of Chimay was simply invaded by classic Volkswagens.

Grandstand filled up completely several times to watch the races.
BBT booth ran full force whole weekend long.

Despite the (heavy) rains on Saturday evening it was a top edition!
Another proof Classic Volkswagen scene is alive and kicking.

More motivation to bring you more and better parts.
