Beaulieu Simply Jap 2019

So, even after putting on 'Factor 50', I still managed to get burnt... and I spent most of the time sitting in the bloody shade, lol

Great day, great people, great Vans, great weather, great venue and... and I thoroughly loved it. Lots of new and old faces, and hope to catch up with you all again at future meets :)

Plenty of passers-by showing an interest in ALL the vans too, just stopping to admire all the various colours and setups. Lots of them praising the Elgrands, as they had not seen or heard of them before, so all in all a brilliant day raising awareness of this stunning vehicle.

Right, now where's that bloody Aftersun!

Forgot a hat so the head feels burnt as there is a lack of thatch up there...
 
Some lovely photos & looks & sounds like everybody enjoyed it. :)

I take it from the pics though that @Karlos was the only one who bothered to clean the engine bay 😉

I think if it hadn't of rained so much leading up to the event, more people would have had time to do their engine bay... I didn't even clean the wheels (or roof) on mine 😂, and we weren't the only club to have dirty cars there, thankfully, although mine was probably the dirtiest in our group :)

I got most of it cleaned on Saturday before it started raining again, so gave up and eventually cleaned the last panel at Beaulieu but there were so many people to talk too at the initial meeting point and then again at the event, I thought it would be rude to ignore them and just clean the van :D :D :D

Yeah and if we want to kick the embarrassment factor up notch, we could get out in the middle of it all and start doing some choreographed dad dancing to some showaddywaddy 🤪
