Calling all vw campervan and beatle owners

[Dub Dub and Away]

East Dulwich seems to have a large number of VW campervan and Beatle owners and with ourselves and East Dulwich Campers being in the area it has struck me that maybe there is benefit in forming a VW owners club for East Dulwich.

The idea would be to meet periodically (say every 4 ? 6 weeks) in a local pub or other venue, share knowledge, show our vehicles off, ask questions and where possible look at getting discounts on parts and other things related to owning and driving a VW.

Open to ideas and suggestions on how to organise and run a club of this ilk, but thought it would be fun to meet and talk with other enthusiasts and to share knowledge where we can.

If you are interested then please either PM me directly or put a response on here and in a few weeks I will get back to anyone who responds with more details should people think it?s a good idea.

I bet that really friendly bloke with a heavily customised (and incredibly cool) red campervan sometimes seen around Goose Green would be interested.

Sounds like you have already made that decision to keep it just based on how you described it.

I have spoken in person with a couple of people who are interested.

Would be good to get a few more names on the list

Waiting for my 1968 VW T2, currently being refurbished in Wales, to arrive but would be interested in a club later in the summer! why not add this to the main general page too?

In answer to hour question this was on the general ed section before admin moved it here so not tempting fate again 😊

Who owns Ringo & Paul these days?

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but there are tons of VW vans in ED and I thought today a EDF page to share info would be great.

We have a T4 LHD VW Westfalia, called Brigit. She's a beloved part of the family although starting to need a fair amount of work.

Did this VW owners group take off?

This is a sh1t thread

No answer on the above after 5 plus years. In the meantime Donald Trump has been and gone and the world is in lockdown

Hi ebeb2

As Seabag so elegantly mentioned, this thread is 5 years old and didn't get enough interest at the time.

Happy to revisit the idea if others are interested but obviously with lockdown, meetups will be impossible but nothing to stop online / virtual discussions.

I've just purchased a VW camper and was thinking along the same lines! This thread is super old but if anyone is interested drop me a DM!

I recently purchased a 2015 Ford Transit. The main work is already done, and now I just need to finish the interior. I'm keeping modifications minimal and exploring ford transit cargo van cabinets and bed.
