VWCV To Celebrate 60 Years Of The Bulli Aka Transporter With Transporter Owners
From 5 - 7 October Camper drivers will be able to display their vehicles on some 108,000 m2 of park area. In another 18,000 m2 area on Hermesplatz an exhibition is planned where guests will be able to take a trip 60 years back in time with the VW Camper and see which model was on the road in which decade. Families with VW Campers will be able to camp in specially designated areas and there will be Bulli Club stands as well as an autojumble. The action starts on Friday, 5 October when a convoy of historic Bullis will begin their journey from the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles plant to the exhibition centre. In the evenings open air cinema nights are planned featuring films where the VW Camper has played a starring role. 鈥淟ittle Miss Sunshine鈥? a heartwarming American family road movie will be the main feature. This is because as well as stars from the world of music and showbiz a number of international film-makers are fans of the cult Camper.
On Sunday, 6 October there will be prizes awarded during the day for historical models in the 鈥淥ldest T1, T2, T3鈥? 鈥淢ost attractive T1 to T5鈥? 鈥淢ost original T1, T2, T3鈥? 鈥淔urthest journey鈥?and 鈥淧imp my Bulli鈥?categories. Guests will have the opportunity to see the most attractive and unusual VW Campers in the world and learn from their owners why it鈥檚 this vehicle in particular that they love so much. Winners are promised extraordinary prizes which money can鈥檛 buy, including tours of the plant and Bulli-themed trips. One of the highlights of the international VW Camper meet will be the show on Sunday evening. Since the VW Camper is inextricably linked to music from the era and given that today, as in the past, well-known stars use them when on tour, music will form an important part of the event. These top stars will be supported by other musicians including local band 鈥淪weety Glitter and the Sweethearts鈥? The band from Braunschweig is not only known for its lavish and atmospheric stage shows with songs from the 鈥?0s, but also for its loud, colourful and extravagant glam rock costumes. To round off the experience test drives using the latest products from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles are planned at the neighbouring ADAC (German Automobile Club) site with a shuttle service to take participants there. After breakfast on Sunday the Bullis and guests will then depart again at various stages throughout the day.
My first thought on finding a cheap digital SLR camera was to check out used cameras. Lots of people buy expensive cameras or get one for a gift and don't end up using them much. Other people get a new camera and no longer need their previous camera. This creates a supply of used DSLR cameras, many in great condition. A good thing about buying a used digital SLR camera is that many include lenses, camera bags, extra batteries, and other items along with the camera. Some people want to sell all of their camera stuff all at once. Buying a camera with accessories included can be a good deal. I read some product reviews for cameras that are 5 to 8 years old- these are the ones likely to be easy to find for sale now. I picked a couple models that seemed promising: the Canon XTi and the Nikon D90.
These were state-of-the-art, expensive cameras a few years ago. Used ones are cheap now. I found a supply of used Canon XTi and Nikon D90 digital SLR cameras on eBay. 125 (buy it now price) for the camera body! I found a Canon XTi Digital Rebel camera body with lens, extra battery, and other accessories in an auction. 220. Unfortunately, I was outbid at the last second. 235. There are lots of used cameras for sale on eBay- I could have easily found a good deal had I persisted. The Nikon D90's on eBay were selling for quite a bit more than the Canon XTi's. I decided to check for any used cameras on Craigslist. 100 less it may be worth some compromise. It is very frustrating to push the button and wait for your camera to respond. I once tried to photograph my son in marching band during a parade.
They were not moving that fast, but by the time my camera took the picture, he had already gone by! I want a camera that can take several pictures per second and takes pictures right away when I push the shutter button. I decided that buying a used SLR camera could be a huge waste of money unless you have a chance to try them out before buying one. I would be better off saving for a newer camera than buying an older camera that may not be as useful as we would like. Next I focused on newer digital SLR cameras, designed within the past two years. These models support fast type 10 flash memory cards and have high resolution live preview LCD displays. Also, the response time is very fast. However, money is important. I needed to find a cheap new digital SLR. I found a Nikon D3100 on clearance at Best Buy. Better yet, they were sold out.
