Answer: A FASTER ONE.

he He, i still want it.

 ;D

You're going to have to apply a correction factor to the numbers. Maybe do some testing up Ben Nevis and work up from there, Sendai isn't exactly in the lowlands.

 :D

hey Russell, spoke with Nao yesterday
still uncertain if DDS goes first to Schotland or directly to Belgium  ;)

Gunter

russel at EBI2 you get this ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I've been promoting the show way hard here in the USA, and it looks like plenty of the Original Cal-Lookers will fly to Belgium this summer!
 we got some new sponsors on board one more day here in HB then straight to Chimay to meet with the racetrack owners...  24weeks to go! It's going to be SWEEET!  ;D

greetings to all the loungers from Huntington Beach!


 

Sounds like you've had a hard time of it?   :D

lucky b£$^%$d

Heftig, Kobus :D

Kobus when can we start registering for EBI2????

Really soon, don't worry ;)

five months and counting ;D

Damn, I guess there's still a LOT to do for a lot of us in only 5 months!  ;D

ill be there cant wait, theres me larst year! 8)
(http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h11/autobarnhauler/busatbugin-1.jpg)

if you have kept hotel phone number I could do it for you like past year

hotel say to me that i have to call tomorow ???
I will try and find one for you tomorow I will not work on afternoon

Clyde should be there. In fact All of the Monster Garage Guys who did "Sauerkraut" should be there !

Room booked, thanks fred, waiting for to collect tickets and then its all go :)

I booked the time off work the other day - I've taken nearly 3 weeks off work over the time of EBI2 as I plan on cruzin gthe manx all the way down to Marbella/Spain to see some friends that live out there, then cruz all the way back up to Holland to meet 67indeed/Diederick and cruz down to EBI2 then I still have a week off to chill and cruz the Manx around Europe  ;D ;D ;D

I CAN'T WAIT  ;D ;D ;D

holland the other cheese country  :P ::)

awesome plans dude ;D ;)

Watch it Dude.

just booked a couple of rooms at a hotel just 19km from Chimay, still some rooms left

http://www.accorhotels.com/accorhotels/fichehotel/gb/ibi/0707/pop_situation.shtml

Hey Ben, stayed there last year on the thursday night before EBI.  Its in a nature park type place next to a reservoir, very scenic. The nearest town to get some food is a 5 minute drive away.  Theres a posh restaurant next door. Took us about 20 minutes or so to get to Chimay the next morning in the notch in the wet with skinny 145s on the front on windy French / Belgian roads.  Should take you less than that, I've seen how you drive  ;)

Tourist info provided by George  :)

In a few days we'll launch the Registrations for EBI#2!!! Keep you posted you Loungers will hear about it First!!!

meanwhile we got Gravelpaths under construction soon on site on Chimay, this will make the trader and camping area much more user friendly in case of muddy days..

and the cateringcompany is working close with us about having way way more food (even vegetarian) and plenty of it for the expected amount of people that will be there!

Sanitary should be in order too! then for the visitors there will be a huge campsite just 3km away from the track, profesionally ran with all nessesary provisions including a partytent and catering on site  ;D

on the dragracingside, Lee Child has set a whole team together, this combined with a bit different stagingline layout and plenty of trackglue should assure even more racing fun than last summer!  ;D ;D ;D ;D BRING IT ON!!! GOGOGO EUROPEAN BUG IN #2!

sounds awesome kobus!
so, is there a chance we may even be able to shower on the camping site of EBI itself?  :o

GO GO GO  ;D

at some point they even got them working on the last edition, yes there were showers haha
and this year too, but i was actually taling about the capsite that will be off site, 3KM away from the racetrack, for those who want a party etc... and for all those who will not be registered for show and shine or dragracing, the official visitor campsite..

ah, here's another news

Neko Publishing just printed the BUGIN HANDBOOK

150 Pages on bugins, US old and new, EBI, bugin Racecars, History etc etc

i haven't seen it yet, but i'm all excited about it, we'll have this book available at the show! so you can use it to go chasing for autographs :)

cool! looking forward to reading that!!

i know kobus, but i was just wondering what the facilities will be for us racers and show-offs ;D ;)

Looking forward to this, I am already, room is booked(too old to camp), ferry is booked, all i need are the tickets.  Kobus will they be ready for Volksworld?  Or I can just pay you there.

I know it's WRONG......But can non VW driving visitors camp here, as mine will be off the road?

we'll have the pre sales tickets available at VoWo Show

and they'll be on sale thru CSP's Webshop soon too, i'll let you know as soon as we get them from the printers, the deign is done :-)

[/quote]

yeah that campsite will be open to anyone driving anything (and there will be a tractor on site in case RV's get stuck, just in case  ;) )

we externalised this campsite to a local camping owner, they rented a huge field next to their existing fully equipped campsite. + they got on site catering and bring in extra showes and they'll have some sort of a party in a big tent, and a quiet side too ofcorse, the place is huge and the people who run the place seem very motivated to care for all needs

http://BUGIN.skynetblogs.be got updated!!! Registrations go live in a few days!!!!  ;D Stay Tuned!!!

and like Eldub says; Don't miss the Nostalgia Gasser Lineup Saturday evening on the Dragstrip!

will the gasser lineup be as spectacular as last year?
i missed it last year  :-\

Looking forward to it. 8)

Cry havoc and let slip all the dumbass questions!!!   :P  :D

Quote: Clyde should be there. In fact All of the Monster Garage Guys who did "Sauerkraut" should be there !

Does that mean Jesse amd Randy as well ?

Russel,
Sandra B will  also be there.

COOL can't wait to be registred  :P

Hey Russel, wouldn't that be SO COOOL ?!?

And now i'm getting carried away: See SAUERKRAUT at EBI.......

Will club camping be in the camp site 3km away? Or onsite?

Thanks,
Rob.

Where does this monstargarage rumous come from??? if this confirmed? if so i will set up hotel for J.James and his crew.. have them contact me

Camping for visitors will be 4km away from the dragstrip..
   anyone who registered (opens in the next 7 days!) is welcome to stay at the track

Sorry for the misunderstanding Kobus/Russel.  I was just Wishing that they would be there.
Again my apologies.

I am sure if the invite was sent to clyde he might make it, He and Ron Lummus have both been over for UK shows in the past.

Rob.

I  spoke to Clyde sunday at Pomona,he is thinking of coming,it depends on the sale of his chop top race car ;)

cheers richie,uk

The car seems to have  been sold to the Netherlands. Kaag Kevers. They supposed to arrange a Meet and Greet with Clyde. But When...

Yep, spot on, spoke to Ingmar the other day and he's bought the chop minus the motor, in his words 'I can look at it in my showroom during the week and race it on the weekend, i've got lots of motors so i bought it without

how long before we can start putting our names down :)

If it all goes like planned 2 more days!!!!!  :D :D :D :D :D

Surely Clyde will be over then, to race the chop top at E Bug In, like a propper hand over of the car  ;D
He did this with Paul Woodhead in the UK with his old wheely nice orange n white.

Ingmar, you have an engine to build. Clyde likes revs...

OK GUYS AND GIRLS!!!!! ARE YOU READY!!!! We are almost finished updating the website.... a few more days and it's all online!    YOU GET TO GO FIRST!!! BEFORE WE GO "PUBLIC" WITH THIS....

Kobus, when do we have to get in line for the Dash Plagues, Shirts and stuff ?

imagine next week we are racing
just a little teaser ... hope you like

This time next week...  8)

 :o

Gunter,
Do you bring some "Bug'In" books to Chimay too ?
Thxs,

yes how many shall I put aside ?
we bring a lot of goodies to the show and will have them for sale at the EBI CSP FLAT4 RANCHO JPM tradestand
let me know , but send mail to gh@csp-shop.de
thanks and see you soon
 ;D ;D next time this week is Gasser Garage Lounge  8)

we had BugIn 33 and European BugIn 2
what a lucky men we are

souvenir dash placque made by Rich Kimball
for sale at the EBI FLAT4 CSP tradestand

enjoy

Gunter,
PM sent
 ;)

PM sent also.

we got some 40th aniversary collectibles on hand too, check out the ebi stand

for the program of the show times of events etc check out http://bugin.skynetblogs.be i posted it there yesterday.

on site all is going smooth, it's going to look a bit different compared to EBI 1 so hehe, there was those who experienced it the first time and those who will have missed out for ever.. first one was great, so now let's try to make this second one even better!

we need some disipline in the show and shine area, nice line up's nicely parked straight rows stuff like that, we've mapped it out and there's room for all who have registered. and if we got room to spare we'll select some more cars out in the parkinglots

ok, back to some more emails , then todays pics on the blog and some sleep is next  :D

I'll take a book dude along with those other Bug In 33 goddies too  :)

Gunter

With regard to the cans of drink, will there be some in the racers pack as last year?

How many different ones are there and can we buy the ones we done recieve in the packs to make a full set ? It would be nice to have one of each  ;)   

Thats my question too, they are really cool!  8)

there is one energy drink can per goodybag! then same few extras will probably be handed out in the vip area... and if we have enough of them then we can give each racer one extra when they sign in or something like that.... find people who don't care about them and aks them to have theirs to complete collections.. exchange doubles... or beat someone up :-) hihi no don't do that!

A consommer SANS modération !
 ;D

;)

I suggest you pitch up a small tent infront of the EBI Sales tent from somewhere wednessday evening..... first come first serve.. we'll i think we plan to be open around 10-11 on Friday or as soon as we're ready..

Hey Gunter, we unloaded our friend Mr Komori's car today
