The Cal-look Lounge

 Is anyone here going to the Belgian Bug Show this month?

 I hadn't realized it was moved from Spa to a new Location. Does anyone have any idea what the turnout might be over the weekend? ???

The organizers were really kind at let me have a swapmmet plot at very short notice. :)

 It's my intention to sell at the swapmeet and it's a 3000km round trip to do so?  :-\

 Any Info Chaps  ;D

Thomas Kemp and i will be there , looks like a good track for good races  :)
I hope a lot of people will enjoy this nice event .

Udo

Thant's good to hear  :D

   I was getting rather worried  ;D

I think most of the DAS will be there too...

Will be there too.  :)

most likely the Saturday only
see you there hopefully

me too  ;)

I'm much happier to hear that folks. :)

 Does anyone know the new site?

     Is it all outdoors or is there cover as before for sellers?

I got thanks, but I can't tell if the Trade & Swapmeet is in, out or undercover or...

 I just like to be prepared, but I suppose it's Begium in August so best take some plastic sheets??  :D

 

i f i remember well , the swap meet for the shop and professional will be under a big top , and the swap meet for non professional will be outside

i like areas like this more than racetracks like SPA . It is more compact and you do not have to walk far . And you don't have to drive uphill  :D

Udo

Plastic sheets then....... :D

If anyone wants a Free weekend pass for a Aircooled VW and 2 people PM me :)

There is a major change..
Due to the management of SPA we must relocate,

We have this huge luck that we are allowed to organise the VW BUG SHOW
on an ancient military airfield at BRUSTEM near St TRUIDEN

This means
Drag racing on an airstrip (400m)
Camping on a flat surface
All activities that we are used to these last years

We thank you all for coming to our show
Details are on the Website as soon as we have them all
We hope to see you here

I've heard that the wheather might not be too good for next weekend in Belgium?

 Does anyone know this site and if there is any under cover areas that can be used for selling? :)

  I wouldn't want all my stuff out in the wet really?     :-\

for the weather it's difficult to know in advance here in belgium  ;D ;D
there's a big tent for professional seller /shop , For others they will have to take their appropriate arbours / tent

whats sort of condition is the track in ?

Is there space in the big tent if needed?  ;)

  I should think I'll take about 4-5 metres?  :-\

It's gonna be sunny all weekend. at least thats what they predict.

I'm very pleased to hear that  ;D

  We leave in about 2 hours time.

I think here in this area of europe you can expect rain every weekend  >:(
But it looks good so far  :D

See you there
Udo
