Ninove, Freddy Files meeting 2014 was Bitchin’!

More then likely a lot had to see with incredible nice weather we had the last couple of weeks, everybody in Western Europe is completely in “spring” mood!

The Freddy Files yesterday was extremely packed, with around 1400 cars in attendance…. 

For BBT David it was the BIG DAY to finally brake in his new ride, a 1959 Single cab, fresh in from California, with a last “touch” from our BBT crew, lowered, straight axle, sitting on Real Early Porsche wheels, with NOS pressed bumpers, tarp, roof rack You name it! Get on da road David! This ride is begging for miles!

DSC08981_blogThanks God the organizers had access to an “overflow park” what filled up completely as well!

DSC08984_blog ah, this French guy says it all! This is not a car….its a life style! Yes, we’re the aircooled crews! This is life entirely, even a little bit more sometimes….:)

DSC08985_blogIts always good to see the Bay window from the organizers, one of the first bay windows ever produced, VIN nr 218000067 build in yes, 1967, now how cool is a matching VIN number in your eyes? Some guys have it all!….

DSC08996_blogThe 181 crew out in force! These “things” as they’ve been called “on the other side of the pod” gain in popularity a big chunk lately, nice, as they’re cool cars too!

DSC09007_blogAll original patina early Palm Green on Sand Green always hits our weak spot! Nice ride!

DSC09009_blog Dormobile conversions are still very popular, on bay or splitwindow… We always have customers for conversion kits if You have one  around you like to get rid off, used or new, we’re your buyer!

DSC09015_blogThe odd Fridolin was at the party… so cute… we did export them too much back in the days, not that many on the old continent anymore….:(

DSC09016_blog This lowlight Ghia was heavy loaded, and for sale… not really our style, but it was nicely modified! A very harsh Autobahn cruizer more then likely…

  1. Left York with 12 friends…went to this show in Belgium (2nd time) .. and came back with hundreds of new friends. okay so maybe not hundreds, but this show seems to have a way of really bringing out the spirit of the dub scene. Everyone was in high spirits, helpful, friendly and having a great time. Can’t wait for the next…thanks Freddy.
