BugFest 2007

The Durham Region VW Club hosted BugFest at Haugen's Barbeque for the first time this year. It was a great success for a first-time show. Lots of great cars and buses showed up, along with key sponsor John's Bug Shop. The swap meet area was a dissapointment as there was a very limited turnout, but that will hopefully change in the future as the show attracts more and more people.

Here are some pictures of our bus and Bob's Bug at its first show. Bob called from home to report a trouble free drive to Orillia and emailed a few of the pictures below.

My latest project is a garage cleanup now that "Bob's Bug" is officially finished. Check out the VW Technical Blog at http://ad-libs-vw-technical.blogspot.com/ and the 2006 archives at the main page, www.ad-libs.ca and read any posts titled "Bob's Bug" for the full report from day one when we hauled the car from Gatineau, QC...

Congrats to the guys from the VW club who put on a very well organized and well attended show. You can count on two regulars (our Westy and Bob's Bug), and hopefully our Porsche next year!
