Well as they say, "It's not a show without a breakdown!". That can be used both mechanically and also emotionally. VolksWorld started with a whole host of drama. Dubs at the Park commenced with a breakdown less than a mile out from the site.

Nightmare! Doris actually broke down for once, but it was merely an overheating problem due to the absolutely scorching weather we experienced. It was the first time I cracked out the shorts for 2014 which usually is a trend that will continue to late September so residents of the UK, beware of my pasty legs!

So Dubs in the Park was greeted with some excellent weather and some excellent VW's. I was on a hunt to look at any '67's and for any cream painted Bugs to gather some inspiration for what Jake would look like when he is completed. A few cream Bugs were lying around in the sunny weather with their proud owners, which is pleasing to see! No 67's from recollection so I do feel that Jake Bugg will be in his own when we finish him.
The event was held at Easthampstead Park in Berkshire which was a stunning location, similar to Stonor Park, but was much more chilled out then your VolksWorld and Bug In's of this world. It had the right, friendly atmosphere with fans from all over the scene, ranging from your Bugge
rs, to the families in the Buses to MK1&2 Golf's and later T4/5's amongst other rare and awesome VW's. They also had various live bands playing both their original content and some well known hits from days of past and present. In addition, they had Mountain Bike Trial's specialists demonstrating some absolutely insane skills, their most daring jumping 10 ft onto a set of rails, much to the visitors amazement and applause!

Trade stands weren't as prominent as some of the bigger shows but it was pleasing to see the likes of Hayburner and Rothfink (the latter travelled all the way from Cardiff for the event) representing the alternative VW scene which is slowly dominating, especially with the amount of Rothfink stickers about the place! Hayburner's new magazine is out now too so which I thoroughly recommend.

| Un-licensed bar... |
Anyway, a great, family friendly event for just a fiver, blazing hot sunshine and a licensed bar? Oh we will be back in 2015.

| Just chilling. |
