Dunk is setting up his own customized Volkswagen interior company and wanted some imagery for his new website. He’s based in St Neots and suggested we take some pictures of his 1966 11-window split screen van. Its a very clean van that’s been through the usual T2D slamming and mechanical upgrades and is one seriously cool van.

The day went from bad to worse as the original location had had its access blocked. So we found another place just down the road and found some open gates, people walking there dogs and a nice open area to take some pictures, all seemed well and good.

Abandon ship, its going down…

Then it decided to rain (the weather forecast wasn’t great, but no signs of rain I must report at 11am this morning). Fighting through the drizzle we then found ourselves locked in the field with no way out. It was getting dark and we were both wet and cold. To eventiually found what we thought was an escape route only for Smurf (Dunks van) to drift off the field path and sunk into the mud. nicely embedded into the mud we finally had to be rescued by the farmer. To be honest he wasn’t too bad at giving us a bollocking, but if you’re going to leave fields open with no sign posts, whats a VW photographer going to do eh?!?

The promise is to return for more shots in better weather.
