I know it's a long way off, but I got thinking about Hessisch Oldendorf in 2009, :shock: and got thinking about the drive there and all that. Made me think, what about a little convoy ? 😮 We know most of each other anyway. Would need a lot of sorting out and that. Any thoughts... :wink:

We have also been thinking we will bypass the BBT convoy for H.O. and maybe drive there a day earlier to arrive the evening before? I so wanted to go on on the Rundfahrt while at Camberg, but we'd really had enough of 'hectic pace' driving so gave it a miss. The Camberg weekend was a little too short.
So we may well be up for the idea of a small nice 'in our own time' type convoy ideally travelling through all the major busy roads very early in the morning maybe? So long as between us all we have a full set of tools. I have my chief mechanic on board :D

What about a similar idea for Huckeswagen?

I'm sure there will be a full set of tools amongst us !! :lol: :lol: :lol:

We always get there the day before the event starts. Watching all the cars arrive supping a beer in the cafe on the corner, what more could you ask ? :wink:

Maybe you Southern Softies could put us Northerners up for the night if we come down the day before the trip. :wink:

I know I'm Welsh. I just didn't want you English to feel too inferior. :lol: You know how kind I am, letting you live in our country, 'cos it was too rough where you were brought up to keep your car safe. :wink:

The reason i am here is because we have been invading and occupying your country for centuries. It's a habit we find we cannot brake.

Its a good idea, I need to think it out though as the only spare bedroom is full to the ceiling with 50's interiors at the mo, wouldnt be very comfy! :lol:

Good its basically a plan then!

We are all assuming SDV that your oval will be up & burning rubber all the way there?!

Matt H.O. who knows, maybe not a beetle by then! 😃

Huckeswagen, we are going to take Owens 50 this time!

ps. Owens got a tattoo of a red dragon on his arm ( he's a proper welshy pikey)

The Welsh traders were not at Camberg this time around.
It coincided with a Shirley Bassey gig in Swansea.
