Your Rides: Bertie
I've always been surrounded by people who love VW's over the years. My eldest son, Brent who is only 18, had been persuading me for years to buy a VW camper. This I believe started after I bought him a Lego VW T2 Splitscreen campervan.

Your Rides: 'Brian'
I purchased Brian from a VW garage in Worcester in January 2018. They had chosen him as a two-tone demonstrator. He had just about every extra on him & only 23 miles on the clock (As he was only a demo for a month)
Your Rides: 'Flora'
Flora had not had an easy life. According to the V5C, I am her fourteenth owner, and from the servicing records that came with her, she had suffered overheating problems for many of them.
Your Rides: 'Bertie'
As Bertie was hand painted we covered him in artificial grass, the glue cost more than the grass!!
Your Rides: 'FUBAR'
The previous owner had painted the van matt black with a roller and having seen some camo wraps, we thought why the hell not....
Getting back to the track...
I’ve been into VW’s ever since I was a child. I guess the Herbie films were to blame for setting me on this path as they combined my two great loves…Beetles and Racing.
