| Hi Butten We were just along from the entrance to the VWT2OC camping area and the adjacent shower block On the map shown in the link below, at the bottom centre of the page, we were along the fence to the right roughly by the first disabled sign shown on the map in the VWT2OC area Hope this helps - sorry you missed us

| We had a great time, nice to meet Scooby and Tallullah, great spot for our first club pitch as well, close to the show and the event tent so we could listen to the music for free. Not so sure about the Michael jackson impersonator Saturday evening tho'?
Some great vehicles on display as usual, and I must say the Danbury Project 1 is awsome!!!! many thanks to Matt for letting Bailey sit inside and watch the huge TV, it really is a vehicle to see, just goes to show what can be done to a Brazibay!! It was getting some very positive comments from the 'die hard' dubbers as well. Sadly I didn't have my camera with me, and am waiting for my nephew to send me the pictures........ | |

| Hey Guys - problem solved As it's late only a few words and some pics - Scooby now tired Well it was a good weekend some rain, some grey skies but some all important sun Great Bays and Great Company but at the start . . . Got there at 11.00am and took 30 mins to find our location Fully set up within the hour - where is everyone! Had lunch and looked around the show The Danbury Project 1 vehicle was awesome - see pics below Got back just before 3.00pm still no one Then Kiteman and Irishman arrived - they also had trouble finding the location Tallulah would follow on that evening Here are some pics of the setup - right next to the showers - what luxury Lilyvdub was camping the adjacent field in the VWT2OC area Tilly and Roobarb popped over to see us on the Friday - they were day visitors - see earlier posts Other Brazi Bays were around and Kiteman would investigat their Forum status in due course We were close to the entertainment marque so we got the sounds for free As dragons flew over head we sat around and chatted the evening away - with the odd drink or two Saturday morning and time to walk around the show again Here are a selection of pics which include some of the Show n Shine entrants and other campers we liked One for you Peppa On the way back to camp we took a pic of these two poles - useful in last pic of this post Back at Camp Braziliano we had a quick Chilli dinner before going out to see SLADE that evening The flag was still flying high the the strong winds all around Enjoyed Slade very much - Michael Jacson Tribute Guy on before not so much On Sunday after a full english breakfast at the site restuarant then it was off to see the last of the Show n Shine entrants before judging Had a long chat with a nice couple who had a fabulous Eriba and Bay combination - awesome Loved it By lunchtime we were ready to leave the show. Went back and packed up Only three now left Said our goodbyes and headed home via Malvern for a last look down on the show Camp Braziliano was to the left of the pic by the single storey brick building to the side of the large white entertainment marques - the two poles were further to the right with the traders even further to the right and nearer the camera. Enjoyed it all - hope this along with other posts helps to give a flavour to those who could not make it! ________________________________________________________________________________ Proud winners of Spike's Trophy 2017 Scooby - Born To Run | |

| Great photos Scooby, and I love the plate I've never understood the rat look that some people go for? I wonder how much of them are real rust. Is it just me though, or do you guys like them? ________________________________________________________________________________ | |

| The Danbury Project 1 Vehicle looks pretty impressive also. I love the wheels painted black with the orange stripe. Has it got a MOMO racing wheel as well? ________________________________________________________________________________ | |

| Dont mind looking at Rat Look Buses but would not want one and the rust is definately "fabicated" on some campers in our opinion. With regard to the wheel - did not take much notice - blown away by the rest! ________________________________________________________________________________ Proud winners of Spike's Trophy 2017 Scooby - Born To Run | |

| Finally back home after leaving Vanfest and heading off to Cornwall for the week. As always was good to meet up with everyone. Also bumped into Dennis parked up in the General Camping field. No where near the amount of people as last year in general camping, the field we were all in last year was empty.
Sunday was lovelly and sunny, shame about the wind, made packing the awning away interesting. Also made for an interesting drive heading off to Cornwall.
Will post some pics later when I go through them all. ________________________________________________________________________________ Ginger man without a ginger van | |
