Yep, already fallen behind with my updates. Gonna keep it brief. Visitors from London all with young kids, off we went to Perranuthnoe and had a bloody fabulous time. The cafe is superb, proper home-made cakes, lovely coffee and great paninis. I will be uploading a whole load of (hipstamatic) pics soon

Part of the my daily web browsing routine usually involves visiting the classic cars for sale on ebay, normally sorted by distance closest order and quite often seeing familiar cars from around Penzance.
However on this particular occasion a very unfamiliar early bay was listed....and at a reasonable price to boot. Paul the police man was selling this fine example and just a mile up the road.......some discussions with Laura later, a failed online auction and a whole load of fate and the bay was mine. Some very minor tweaks by the great Evil Ben and now 1000 miles later I’m happy to post some pics of the best vehicle I have ever owned.
Been promising myself and a very few loyal fans that I would update this blog for some time now.....due to lack of time I’ve found it pretty hard to get round to it until now.
Ive just been sent these vids from the legend that is Rohan Inglis and believe them worthy of posting. One gig all year and then three come along at once. Here we are at the second performance of the summer tour, a fantastic night on Praa Sands beach following what sounds like the best raft race ever.
I’m pleased to say that our full 10 song set was played in its entirety and included a stage invasion, pink paint, nakedness, stage diving and a good old fashioned Bugga pile on. The recordings that follow have not been dubbed, Bugga management have generously agreed to the release of this material.
Excellent.
Recently got the vw bug...again... We had a brilliant nights camping at the Cornwall vw jamboree and met some great people all of whom seem to have a very laid back and relaxed approach to camping out in the rain with their kids (usually an event stressful enough to induce instant baldness to the common man). After meeting up with Morgan and Ben of Evil Bens fame, I have decided that next summer should be spent cruising through Italy in an early bay - tin top, taking in the delights of traditional Italian Ice Cream Parlors and enjoying the delights of everything that comes with ownership of a vintage bus....will it every happen? I doubt it, but if it results in just visiting the jamboree again next year even if just for one night, then ill be a happy man.
If by some sort of miracle you have found this post looking to source a quality bus - check out http://www.gdaykombis.co.uk - I have spoken to Billy at gday and he is the soundest vw dealer in the uk with the best buses around.
