Last weekend Leon Dogwonder and I made it to the 2014 Berlin VW Bus Festival on an old airfield in Jueterbog, south of Berlin. Relaxed camping weekend in the bus, luckily less hot than last year, with lots of buses to check out and nice people to meet. In total about 450 buses, with the occasional late bay window between lots and lots of T3/T25s. The usual program, with people racing their buses and other vehicles on the old air field (1/8 mile), with a sand pit playground for the 4WD Syncro buses to test what they can handle, a show and shine competition and kiddie’s program. Great Weekend – hope you will enjoy the photos! Greetings to Jan, Kerstin, Flo, Heiko und Meike!

About to present the results of an afternoon of hard crafting…
And some of their beautiful products!

I love that last photo – that’s one happy dog ! I’m wondering though: which won, the Mustang or the T3 ? I’m off the the equivalent VW show in Scotland today and looking forward to some similar scenes.
Thanks for coming by! The Mustang won… The aerodynamics of a brick are not really beneficial for winning races. But it was a lot of fun anyway. Wishing you a great day at your VW event!
Yes, I know the physics isn’t really with the VW but I was hopeful …! Volksfling was good – they even had flyers advertising the 2015 Berlin bus festival !
