Le Bug Show @ Spa Francorchamps historic race track was the best!

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!

DSC02489_blogThe 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!

DSC02523_blog BBT Booth with our picture wall, yours truly was busy talking all weekend long!

DSC02528_blog 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!

DSC02529_blogMy 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!

DSC02535_blogThe 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’….

DSC02539_blogOne more of another magic moment, Bruce signing T shirts “full force!”

DSC02544_blogWe 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,
