Default Sunday Februari 14, 2010 Love Bugs Parade, Brussels, Belgium

On Valentine's day Volkswagen Old Beetles, New Beetles and all other types of Bugs are going to invade the city center of Brussels, Belgium.

It will be a parade of at least 60 OB's who will cross the city. The starting point is the Automuseum "Autoworld".

Along the route, a little something to snack on will be served at D'Ieteren Gallery. There the participants can learn about the history of Volkswagen as well as the Old Beetle.

All participants need to register and all cars will receive a big red bow. The participants will receive a rallysign to keep.

The parade will start at 2pm and will return at the starting point at 4-4.30pm. There another snack will await the hungry drivers.

At this starting point, the participants can view the exhibition Vocho Verde. It's a photo report by the Belgian photographer Evy Raes about the Mexican taxi's. Over 8000 green bugs crossed Mexico City as cabs for 15 years. See more at Vocho Verde.com.

Oh, I'm participating

Cannot go, sadly at this time in my life I do not have a Beetle. Working on it, though. 1978 and before

Greatly anticipating pictures!!!!

You know Marcia, in 3 or 4 years from now there's a good chance that my job will move me to Germany for a few years. If that happens you better believe I am bringing Farrah with me and I am going to attend all those cool European GTGs!

When that happens, there's a German club (several I guess), a Dutch club, a Belgian club and a couple of French ones. Many GTG's to choose from.

Well, sad news
It's snowing today and the snow is moving south. Meaning that it will keep on snowing all the way down to Brussels.
I've made the decision not to go. To be safe

Oh, so sad to hear, that the weather is so bad

The flyer looks so nice, and the gtg would also be wonderful, but only if the weather is good enough.

I suppose you made a right decision; be safe Marcia!
