One of the joys of owning a VW – or any classic car, come to that – is that you can turn up to any event and chat with perfect strangers. Except that, amongst VW Enthusiasts, there are no strangers, only friends who have not yet met.
The Tramway Village people at Crich in Derbyshire hold a number of special themed events during the year and their Beetle Drive has become a firm favourite in the calendar. The 2008 event was held on 7th September.
The Farm Fest Show at Exted Farm in Kent has become an annual event held over the third weekend of September. The 2008 event was on 20th and 21st September and attracted a good range of Beetles and vans, plus a Type 3, a Type 4, and a Buggy.
