Finally!!! Here are some of the pictures from Bug Jam at Santapod! Sorry it took so long! As most of you know Bug Jam was actually on 18th,19th and 20th
July! Well I hope the pictures were worth the wait!Flux Babes- Penny, Rachelle & Me (Keely) went for the Saturday and Sunday. We were there helping our our sister company HIC on the Just Kampers stand. If you were there and lucky enough to see one of us you may have even got yourself a Just Camper keyring or mousepad!
If you did, you would have been very lucky to have got a mousepad because they went like hotcakes! They were all gone by saturday lunch time. But they were rather cool Camper-shaped ones though, I wanted one for myself- sniff.
The picture above is of me, Penny & Rachelle posing by a really cool bay camper! We were all converted to VW's that weekend I think! The campers were soooooo cool! But the coolest VW there had to be Just Campers 'VanCake'! They made the worlds lowest VW Transporter! It was brilliant to watch them making it- if a little dangerous as we got a bit closer.... theres no holding the Flux babes back! ha! I'm sorry I don't have a picture of it but they managed to get it painted and everything in 3 days!!! and the plan was to race it on the Santapod race track!
Opposite is a VW I fell totally in love with, its called a 'Bootle'....awwwwww! Sorry I know its really girly to call a car 'cute' but- godamit! it is! There was even a little storyboard leaning on it too, showing the making of the bootle which made it even more endearing! I want one!!!!!!! I am seriously considering getting a VW (most likely a bug!) as lets face it, it has to be more reliable than my car- and much cooler! Plus I really want to go again next year and so obviously I will need a VW if im goin to camp! Otherwise it will just be embarrassing!
Below is a picture of Penny, Rachelle & me in front of one of the many cool split screen campers that were in top condition. The interiors were spotless and so well done. I do like it when the interiors are all colour co-ordinated and there was cute little finishes like cushions etc- you know how us girls like decorative cushions!
We were there Sunday to, til the end -Hardcore babes you see! and our main job that weekend was to advertise Just Kampers competition which was a years free insurance. 2nd and 3rd prize were Just Kampers vouchers- very helpful too all those VW fans restoring their cute little campers!Of course there were some more 'manly' VW's which I also loved, like the VW camper pickup at the top. I was really interested in the VW's that had been restored to look a bit rusty and 'used'. I was asking all the owners loads of questions and i still feel like I know hardly anything! Next time I go I could really do with brushing up on my VW facts as I felt rather limited in my knowledge, especially in comparison to the dedicated VW owners.
Oh and I think we should camp too! Although... I would most likely look a LOT less glamourous. Yes, I probably shouldn't admit to it but we did stay in a hotel that weekend with all the lovely mod cons....and a indoor loo! Maybe next year...maybe!
Below is a rather fab looking tank we liked the look of! We basically leapt at the owner and thankfully he agreed to let us have a seat. I think this should have been our transport for the weekend, it certainly would have been very useful in getting through the crowds! mu ha ha!

The whole weekend was really sunny and beautiful weather, poor Rachelle was kicking herself for leaving her sunglasses in her car! As you cab see in the background there was even a funfair!!! It looked really fun but unfortunately we didn't get a chance to even go on the bumper cars. We work so hard- sigh! ha ha.
All in all it was great weekend, everyone was smiling and friendly and the cars and campers were awe inspiring. The time and love that classic VW owners spend on their vehicles really shows and I will definately be there next weekend even if I go as a non-babe!
