    Hong Kong Phooey, quicker than the human eye.

    He's got style, a groovy style,
    and a car that just won't stop.......

    help keep it that way.... here is a date for your diary: Techenders 21st - 23rd April 2017

    What is TECHENDERS?
    TECHENDERS is a meeting of (mostly) bay owners to camp and fix/learn about their van in a central location, it's a chance to ask all those questions you try to explain on here or compare your engine and oily bits to someone elses with assistance or back up from people who've probably done the same job you're attempting.

    Where is it held?
    It's at victoria farm near Lutterworth http://www.victoria-farm.org/

    When is it?
    It's held twice yearly. Starts Friday afternoon and stop as long as you like (it's a working campsite).

    Who can come?
    Anyone, including pets or kids - come to mess with vans or just come for a weekend break.

    What can i expect?
    It's whatever you make of it, in the past we've removed and replaced engines or just helped people change a bulb, all we ask is you explain fully what you expect to do and do it early, no use saying "can i take my engine out" on saturday night..... also be aware we won't do your work for you, we expect you to get dirty - or be willing and we can point you in the right direction.

    What about entertainment and food?
    This isn't a vw show, it's just people meeting at a campsite owned by a vw owner who lets us use his facilites, there are no stalls or tat it's just camping, there is usually a run to the local chinese for a feed and the local shops are 10 minutes away with a Morrisons etc. The site has a bar and a heated barn which we have the use of if there's bad weather etc. The site owner is a vw nut and has a 4 post lift which he usually lets us have use of if pre-warned.

    What will it cost?
    Usually £8 a night to camp with no hook up or £10 with, this will be confirmed nearer the time incase it's gone up - we do not take any money, this charge is from the site. Electric is limited in the lower field although there is plenty in the top field if needed - you can always walk or drive down during the day.
