Yesterday we visited the first ever VAG United indoor show…

Held in the Southwest part of out tiny country in the Kortrijk Expo indoor exposition buildings… a very welcome at the venue..

The outside parking lot already revealed quite a bit….
Inside was huge, well organised and plenty to see….

I particularly liked this bus, once from Bell Telephone cy, once one of the largest employers of our country…

1302 Superbeetle in Gulf livery was a cool sight….

All different halls all had a different theme, the Tuning hall was loaded and music was loud!

Don’t know about this entry as far as tuning goes, but a frid and a beetle was necessary in between all watercooled monsters to keep the aircooled crew happy I suppose….:)

Even late generations Transporters (or euro vans as they call them on the other side of the ocean) been on display, not to bad for a workhorse in my humble opinion….

The booth of BBT distributor Steve’s VW shop was quiet impressive….

Musical entertainment in style, was kind a cool too!

Back to the aircooled, this was (is) a very cool rat ride…. the style that pop up a lot, but is very hard to create!

A couple of nice speedsters on display, a lot of memories from an era long time gone….

at the booth of Steve’s VW shop not only his race car “Fast Scrap”, but also a couple of cars from ex BBT’er Edwin aka Seppe the metal master…

Another BBT distributor well presented Filip Delrue from Delrue workshops fame, strictly aircooled on this booth! Nice BBT banner does well!

We like cool logo’s, this was the ubercool one we spotted yesterday!

Flat4Hazards Vw club outdid themselves with their club booth, by far the best booth set up from the entire show!

Ghia Stef brought no less like 9 cars to this event, Stef is a larger Belgian collector really well know for the quality of his cars!

BBT schwimm and Kubelwagen also on display! The two oldest cars on the show?.0…:)

Its all about friends…:)

VW Dealer VanderHeaghen had access to the D’Ieteren prototype replica car, always cool to see “the beast out”…:)

Shall we see more of this next year in the next edition? who knows? only time will tell, but the kick off was pretty good to me!

Last Sunday we’ve had a special visit from Belgium Rolls-Royce Bentley Enthousiast club together with the Jaguars Daimler drivers club which picked out BBT as a stop on their annual tour and BBQ.

It was a very special experience for the BBT crew. Almost 60 cars could be admired @ BBT but it was some kind of a hassle for us to determine which year/type some of these beauties were. We’ve enjoyed their visit a lot and yes… We have some kind of a common language… It’s all about to keep the Vintage spirit alive!
