We spent a great day last Sunday at the Kent Hop Farm browsing amongst some of the coolest VW cars and campers I've seen! We've not long acquired a VW Transporter Autosleeper (high-top) Type 25 - not quite so cool as a "Splitty" - see the photo above, if you've got £27000 to spare, or, in grey next to it, a "Bay" (the surfer dude type camper with the cute curved winscreen), these are also now getting very expensive.
We also drooled over a vaste range of beetles - both "original" and "custom"- which brought back memories of my beloved Bright Blue Beetle - the first and only car ( so far) I've ever paid for with a loan! I loved its comfort, its luxurious thick white seats and its super efficient heater that melted a tape deck and a vinyl LP I left in the rear footwell - aaaah! Those were the days!
We chose comfort and practicality over "cool" in the form of our "wedgie" - the third generation of campers with the flat screeen - we wanted to use our van to holiday with - not just cruise about in- must be an age thing! But we have joined the Sussex VW Owners Club and my husband has taken part in a cruise with our wedgie! Pity I was out with some girfriends that evening!
