| OK then. I'm Jon from Newport, Wales. Originally from Hampshire, spending most of my youth skating and generally larking about. Now at 32, through some crazed lapse in concentration, I became a teacher and now train teachers to deliver PE. I hate sport in general apart from the more extreme sports  . My 69 westy is my 5th bus and this is my keeper (I think), I have owned in order: a 72 Devon, 52 Panel, 89 Westy and 60 Panel but I am now truely an early bay man. In the future I hope to own a chilled out cafe' with enough parking for clubs to meet up and a little project workshop in the back. |

| and I'm Steve, currently living in Brighton. Originally from some red-neck hick-town just outside of Sheffield. Spent most of my time skating and just scraping through design courses at college till I really got my head down when I got to university in Kent and Cardiff. Moved to London after that to work for Ben Kelly, the designer of the Hacienda club, Factory Records HQ etc. Worked for a couple of design companies and architects since in London before moving to Brighton. I'm now senior designer at Design LSM, doing restaurants, bars and hotels. Got into buses a couple of years ago when I stumbled across Brighton Breeze, and its taken a year and a half to find my ride, which is a keeper too. So stoked to finally get my bus down there on Madeira Drive this year, as thats where it all started for me. |

| Howdy I'm Ady from the mighty Sheffield. I'm on my 7th aircooled VW - some good some bad and some very bad! I, or I should really say we (me & my girlfriend Bridget) currently own a 1966 13 window bus. We've had a great year in the bus - highlights being Bad Camberg and recently Brighton Breeze. Hope to see you at some future shows! Ady |

| Ay'up all. The names Chris Hodson. 39yrs and live above Elderkins gun shop in Herring lane Spalding (Herring Lane car park is voted no 24 in the book best places to hide throughout England, Scotland and Wales) I spend my working time as a microbiologist for ALControl Laboratories in Spalding and my free time bulding my bus and goin to shows with Dom (67 walkthrough, this man knows how to camp) and his luverly partner Vana. Also mates wiv Gary (Max Last) whom i met whilst hiding in Herring Lane car park. Have been into classic vehicles since my first car a 1956 MG Magnette which led to working for a local MG racing specialist back in 84 then spending 11 yrs at I & C Woolsteholmes, Vintage/classic trim and accessories, Mkt Deeping (still have some contacts so let me know what u need) Then spent few years workin for various bike racing organisations before deciding i wanted to be a scientist. (iv'e also polished Brazil nuts for a livin). Iv'e been into VW's since about 93 but it was Doms van during a very hazy Bug Jam that made me decide to get a van which was a shouldhave been scrapped 74 bay, spent 4 years restoring this before selling it on for the deposit on this one which iv'e had now for about 5 yrs. The plan is to tour Europe and beyond in her so the brief is definitely "form follows function" with me. Thats all i'm boring myself now. |
