ok, so we are off on our 2012 Europe adventure!
Picked up the bus at my brother's place in Manchester, UK and travelled south to Dover and over to Dunkirk today.
Spending Friday driving over to Spa in Belgium for le Bug Show..

Will update along the way, after Belgium it's off to Bavaria fora bit and then over the Alps.. beer and wurst!
Over here for a month so it will be fun, rounded off by a squirt down the track at santa pod vw action show

You might have missed Valla but this sure should make up for it...

The shifter is awesome..

What's the background on your transport in Europe ..?
Looks cool..
Wanted..Barny bits or 60's Supercharger other than Judson

Killer Samba, Dutchy!! 8)
I didn't realise it was a RHD 21-Window Slider.
Rare as rocking horse droppings.
Wish I could do the trip you're doing.
Valla was great but it isn't a patch on Europe in the summer with a sunroof bus.
Keep the updates coming.
Btw, what power plant is it running?
Cheers & God Bless
