2 years ago Rennwagen members Jamie Palmer, Rich Moss and Steve Millward attended "European Bug In 4" (EBI) and returned with such stories of wonder and delight, that when this 2 yearly show came around again the rest of the Rennwagen's weren't going to miss out this time!

Mike Riley in his EFI 2332cc powered 1958 barn door samba, accompanied by Rich Battison, and John Walket in his 1776cc powered, 1967 split screen bus.

Matt Lawton in his 2276cc powered 58 beetle Cal-looker accompanied by James "Peachey" Cornes.
All cars were driven the 1000mile round trip to the show and back! No trailer queens here!
Non of the Members raced at this years event, due to the weather conditions, but still had an awesome time nether the less.
The trip for Matt and Peach would start in Telford with seeing them spend Wednesday night in a hotel in Folkestone and getting the tunnel Thursday morning, arriving in Chimay that afternoon.
John, Mike and Rich travelled down to Dover on Wednesday night at 8pm after a last minute spark plug change for Mike before leaving Stoke-on-Trent. With the boys on the 8am boat a quick power nap was in order and then push on to Chimay!

Neil set off from Tamworth down to Folkestone on Thursday and stayed over night in a hotel. Then in the morning met up with Damo for th 6:30 train Friday morning. On the way they got stuck in heavy traffic going through Lille, the journey ended up taking them 5 hours to get from Calais to Chimay!
With the return trip having all the normal things, wrong turns, cursing at the sat nav, dodging pot holes and the insane french drivers the road trip went without a hitch for all members.
