a day at the Intergalactic Custom Shop!

we arrived with biscuits to see what was going on in wayne's world right now. there was plenty to see (as usual) and we met some cool world travellers (40k km in a vw buggy, and still going - but more of this soon...), and, of course, checked out the progress of the Mental Breakdown drag Bus!
here's the hot seat!

and here is wayne at the wheel of his neat daily-driver, a chevy truck rollin' on 20s!

vancake for sale!

for sale in the Ultra VW classified pages is the Andy Saunders-built 'Worlds lowest Camper' by the name of Vancake. This was built at Bug Jam 2008 in just three days and has appeared on TV. What a cool promotional tool!
We're not so sure that it's a 4-birth camper any more though...

old-school, heads-up racing @ bitburg!

don't miss out - this is one of our favourite european drag events of the year!

oscar's first driving lesson..

well, i let my boy, Oscar (3yrs old) loose with the electric bus today... oh-oh! there's a big chunk smashed off the rear of the bumper and we have a few new scuffs on the corners now! look out leigh-on-sea, there's a new liability boy on the scene!!!

at least his first vw is 'tuckin' like a mo-fo' ...
not all of us can boast that much! ;)

what size rims will fit a buggy?

well, these 20s look pretty damn huge on this buggy!

they're big, but you could go bigger!
how about these 30-inch monsters?!
we've thrown down the gauntlet, now show us your VW donks!

a good day 'in the shed'

managed to get this 2332cc shortblock assembled today (after many headaches!), which we hope will be running before the uk drag day in a couple of weeks time (it's a lot of hope and a little luck!). did the maths, worked out the necessary deck etc. so now just waiting for some seals and spacers to arrive and it can become a longblock at long last... more progress very soon (i hope!)
