Destination Viaduc in a ‘67 Split Screen VW Van

Friday, August 20th, 2010

Simon Thompson shares with us his trip to Millau in France in his stunning 1967 Split Screen VW Campervan.

Four months hard graft, working on a new interior, followed by 10 nights, 2021 mile round trip camping in France, which included an un-missable visit to the magnificent Viaduc de Millau…

This isn’t a story about how I, Simon Thompson (serious petrol head), came to own my precious 67′ split screen camper back in 95’, nor is it a story about the endless hours/years spent transforming the body and chassis into something solid that I’m proud of today. It’s a story about planning a summer camping holiday abroad in early 2008 with my wife and being blasé about the fact that I would finish the interior in time for the BIG trip. All this when the interior didn’t exist, as the interior was pulled out before its spray job and complete re-build back in August 2003 and since then was never looked at again!

Travelling around Australia in a VW Kombi

This weeks guest blog post comes from Ian who tells of his 18,000 kilometer trip around Australia in his 1975 Volkswagen Kombi Camper Van:

We were on the road in Australia in our Kombi from January 2004 until late August the same year. There were so many places we visited that it would be folly to write about all these places here, especially as we’ve already done just that in another web site. Suffice it to say that the old girl took us all down the east coast, through the capital, Canberra, down to Melbourne and over to Tasmania before making the final long (2,500km, 5-day) push across the Nullarbor Plain (and did us proud).
