Hi


Team Midlife Crisis (AKA Class Campers), shall be undertaking an epic adventure in the aid of charity over xmas 2009/10.  Me and Steph are going to do the Plymouth - Dakar challenge in a left-hand drive Peugeot 205.


We have to travel over 4000 miles across Europe to Afirca and over the Sahara Desert to the Gambia.  The car is sold of at the end and the proceeds go to the Rotary Club Gambia.


We are also raising money for TY Hafan childrens hospice in Wales.  Please visit there website if ytou require any further information about this charity.


We have our own dedicated website website at www.teammidlifecrisis.org if you require any information on how you can help.  Remember, if you dont have any spare cash there are lots of other ways in which you can help.  We need mechanical advice and help, spare parts, and we have a rather large kit list that we will need for the trip.

Just thought I would show everyone a great image of a Peel P50 car inside a VW Camper.  This leads on from the BBC's Top Gear show where they reviwed the Worlds smallest car

Thanks

Hi guys my name is Dave Young I am part of the www.moormusicfestival.co.uk team, one of the organizers and myself are both proud owners of early Bay Window campers, a 1970 Dormobile and a 1968 Panel Van.

The Festival is in its 4th year and is growing rapidly; the location is Ilkley Moor West Yorkshire.. The date is 7th 8th 9th August.

A Volkswagen fan who is covered in tattoos of cars, camper vans and logos says he is a 'walking billboard' for the car manufacturer.
Chris Redford, who runs Funkmaster Red in Cavendish Place, says his obsession started at a young age.

I don't think we've featured any egg cups for a while. Come to think of it, I don't think we've ever featured an egg cup

Hi

I have updated the Volkswagen Camper paint colours section which can be seen here.
I have now added colour blocks next to the colour codes so one can get a better idea of the colours.  There are still some missing but i will be working over the next couple of days to complete these.

Thanks

Paul - Class Campers

As you may or may not have noticed I have been making a lot of design changes to Class Campers as well as adding a lot more information.  I have moved over all the articles, techical and various other sections to a new system.  I have manged to retain the amount of views on each article/record but couldnot retain the date that the articles etc where published.  So all the articles will have very new dates on them for now.

Thanks Class Campers

22 November 2007: A remarkable milestone has been reached as Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has now produced in excess of 10 million examples of the iconic Transporter van. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the creation of the model.

The classic VW Type 2 camper van, now made in Brazil, can be bought new in the UK. Mark Dixon put some flowers in his hair and took off

Appropriately, I was driving through Woodstock - that's Woodstock in Oxfordshire, rather than New York State - when it happened. A young lad in his Vauxhall made a rude gesture with his right hand as I passed. Mentally tut-tutting at his appalling manners, I was several miles down the road before I realised that, far from being offensive, he was actually using one of those incomprehensible "VW" gestures with which fellow vee-dub enthusiasts signal their approval. Oh, the shame!

It's comfortable, nippy and has room for just about anything you might take to the beach but, asks Alex Wade, will surfers find VW's new van as cool as the original?

A family had to cancel their holiday after the camper van they were travelling in burst into flames.

Police were forced to close the junction 4 slip road of the M61 for 30 minutes at 10.15am on Sunday while firefighters doused the flames.

The family of four from South Manchester were travelling in the Volkswagen camper van, northbound, for a holiday in the Lake District when an electrical fault caused the engine to burst into flames.

Firefighters spent 40 minutes dealing with the blaze, but the van and all of its contents have been destroyed.

It is now 60 years since Volkswagen produced the first Camper Van, and the company is hosting a series of celebrations at the Hanover Exhibition Centre in Germany this October. Though the VW Camper has a massive cult following today, it was originally based on a vehicle used to transport heavy panels around the Wolfsburg factory, which inspired the split-screen T1 van in 1947.
