Le Bug Show Spa Belgium 2005
This is the furthest Veedubbing have travelled in our
dubs, but a very entertaining weekend was had by all. We didn't have
the best start to the trip it has to be said. It took a lot longer to
get to Dover than anticipated, which meant we couldn't get in a campsite
or hotel at 2am in the morning. So we cut our losses and slept in the
bugs and buses on Dover seafront. We were all on the ferry at 12.30
the next day.
Once we were off the ferry the race was on, we had to
get to Camp De Rouge near Spa before dark, we failed!. It's no joke
putting up a 8 man tent in the dark we can tell you. Friday morning
and we were up early, not as early as the SSVC though, cheers guys a
wake up call was just what we needed at 6.30am! ;-P. We hit the Spa
campsite about 10am, we can only compare it to Glastonbury for vw's,
it was massive. We spent Friday night with some crazy French people
having an illegal rave, and watching the nutters cane it up and down
the road, pretending they had hydraulics.
The highlight of the weekend had to be driving on the
race track, the Terry Grant Stunt Show and drag racing. The journey
back was not quite so smooth, unfortunately the yellow bay window hit
a massive pot hole 10 miles outside of Spa which practically took the
wheel off. We wont mention how unhelpful the RAC was in taking two days
to get the van home!!.
We were heading towards Dunkirk when we spotted and hotel
and thought we would treat ourselves to a good nights sleep and freshen
up before boarding the ferry home on Monday. We were woken by the French
Police to find that every car in the car park had been broken into other
than our dubs. We couldn't believe our luck. The police did tell us
that they had made a note of the writing on our back windows, as they
thought the message "mum's gone to Iceland I'm off to Spa"
and "je mapl petite Joe" and "yourmumsyourdad",
were trade marks left by the gang of thieves!.
