Bustypes 2007

Well, well, well. What a difference a year makes. Last year Bustypes was a two man show for the DUBtypes VW club, We started to import club members from other clubs to join our club camp out. This year was a total different story. We (Jinx/ marmite) got to the show ground (with priority entrance passes) at 11:00am to start with the plot mark out. The plot started off with enough room for (approx) 6 vehicle and soon progressed to 15 as more and more club members arrived.

Friday night went down a storm, people seem to party hard when the Fifi wagon is in town!!!

Saturday the weather was wonderful and the company was better. More club members seem to be bringing their children with them! The children had a whale of a time as they all loved seeing all the different styles of cars/ buses that made the trip to the show ground (All the children were tucked up in bed by 7pm!!!). Saturday night was blurr for most people but the party atmosphere raged. As Sunday loomed the show seemed to take on another role. The show and shine was in full swing and the trade stands/ auto jumbles we packed.

All in all everyone had a top weekend, let’s keep it up for Bustypes 2008.

The DUBtypes team would like to that everyone who made the effort to campout that weekend, you made it all worth while.
