I’ve met some good people through Bughaus over the last 32 years and Mark Acar is a top bloke. Some time in the early 1990’s he lived locally but was a student at Newcastle university. At various times we did work first on his Beetle and then on his Camper. He helped out when […]

In 1990 we took our second overseas trip in our pink sliding door split screen van, which was looking smart and shiny, having been painted pink and sign written with the Bughaus logo. It seemed a really adventurous plan to get the 24 hour ferry to Santander, drive across the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean, and […]
Tracey, Andy and Emma; Having had a tempting view “over the sea to Skye” after our spectacular journey on the Jacobite steam hauled train to Mallaig in 2015, we decided this would make an excellent destination for our 2017 holiday.
