13l e t t e r f r o m t h e e d i t o rokay i admit it, im not a journalist, not a wordsmith, and by the time you

read this you will see that although i like punctuation i have a dislike of

capital letters hence there are none in sight.

This is homespun in the way that its spun from threads of ideas from

otherthinking in every situation and finding outlets for those threads,

this being one of them.

This is an amatuer publication and by that i do mean currently a hobby

publication and not to be taken too seriously and it will only be published

here for the foreseeable future. as this is the first one im calling it spring

2013 but as a lack of intention led to limited content im going to stretch

back to dubs at the park 2011 in a lame attempt to pad with content.

< p.s. the image to the left is a homage to the current state of the

british weather soon may it lament.

skyway ta was the childhood dream bike

we didn’t know much about this show when we drove up that morning,

even driving into the grounds we were unaware of what a great day out

this was shaping up to be. okay the weather was kind apart from the

occasional random burst of rain which manifested itself in many car

and van owner breaking into an impromtu sprint as they headed back

to there dub to close that sliding door, window or sunroof.

the beauty of this day show was the format, a big field of vans seperated

into marques, likewise cars and the visitors were the voters, the fact a

friend of mine one a class did not change my view of the show as his

award was deserved and yes i did vote for him but mine was one of a

thousand plus votes that must have been cast that day.

Sadly the show missed 2012 due to this wonderful british flood weather

but im sure it willl be back in 2013 and i for one will be queing early to

get in, not to be missed.

2011 a g r e a t d a y o u t !

deserved its own page

as always a great

show, was only

able to do a day

visit this year with

the family but

certainly not dissapointed. the displays were impressive to say the

least with a fantastic variety on show and layed out well so even with

that amount of visitors it was busy but it wasnt crowded.

the stands and stalls were relevent the bmx’s on show were awesome

the upstairs second hand parts gave me about 2 hours of rummage

time and the other half bought more than i did (okay she bought it for

me). VOLK

never having been to the stoner park show before

but not one to pass on an opportunity, we jumped

in the camper and headed off, only an hour and a

half up the road “great”, and a great show it was,

good venue and a lots of visitors with a healthy

dose of traders, definately one to do again.

12passed on the thursday night camping and

opted for a 6am depart on the friday morning,

it was raining, i queued up in the rain, drove

into the show in the rain and it continued

turning the club camping into a quagmire.

Aside from that, great show, great acts, still

miss the old beetle racing of the early 90s

with the modifed, street legal classes etc

which made the actual strip a real highlight.

They could do a bit more on the show and

shines all day on saturday and sunday but

one i still never miss, been going since 90 so

why stop now?

not me

f a l m o u t h b o u n dnot a whole lot different from last year

but we all know the phrase

“if its aint broke don’t fix it”, its not and they didn’t.”

highly enjoyable show, nice to catch

up with friends, good traders and food

available (glad to see the jacket potatos

there again).

worth the drive plus its over 4 days.

a n e w p r o j e c tso the t4 has gone and i have returned to the

air-cooled world after a few years since i sold

my 72 beetle, a 78 late bay is the weapon of

choice.

“why?”

its was a panel van and has had the windows

cut in professionally but this does mean its a

twin slider which was the appeal as ive seen

this before and wanted it. its solid, there is no

welding needed, a little rough around the edges

but where would be the fun if it wasn’t

unfortunately the engine commited suicide on

the way home so has been removed and is in

the middle of being stripped and rebuilt and will

soon be back in.

meanwhile the inside has been stripped and is

being sanded back to be resprayed, insulated,

soundproofed and a new bed is on order.

ive also got a growing pile of parts from new

wingmirrors and jailbars to new taillight covers

and front badge all waiting to be fitted.
