A Bug’s Life – Daily life with our Solent Bugs and Buses

How did it all start?

Nige and I thought that Babe was cool enough for our wedding day and soon after other friends asked us if they could use her too.  From that we realised that we should start  a VW wedding vehicle business!  Simple as that!  I’d always wanted to have my own business but nothing inspired me enough until Bug & Bus was born!

Summer days..

…are here at last! bliss isn’t it? Betty has been very busy lately, her black hood has been pulled up and down  umpteen times, sheltering brides from the little showers we’ve had these past weeks, but has loved all the attention she gets from fellow wedding guests with many  reminiscing of the days when they owned a beetle !

Basil, Peppa & Winnie have had their fair share of the fun too, take a look at a few selected pics below. Please, please send us your photos too with any of our fab four so we can add them to our blog. X

Introducing John, Tracey & Peppa

Filed under: Uncategorized — by John Brown @ 19:54

Hello! We’re so pleased to announce that we are now the proud new owners of Solent Bug & Bus!

We took over form Nigel & Nicola in December 2010 and have recently bought our new addition to the family, “Peppa” a 1966 LHD VW Riviera Splitty. She is stunning and has made heads turn all the way to Lepe beach last Sunday. We think she’ll bring a funky and cool new twist for people who want something different!

Come visit us and see Peppa at the wedding fayres coming soon. Please check website for more details.

Hope to see you there!

John & Tracey

Thank you for your kind words!

I received this message today from one of my brides and it made me cry! Not only were her words so kind but the photo of her and Betty the Bug is breath taking! It MUST go into my Gallery ASAP!
Read on:
I’m so sorry I haven’t written sooner to say a huge thank you for everything on our wedding day – everything’s been a bit hectic every since!!
Everything ran so smoothly and we were perfectly on time, thanks to you! Everyone at the wedding said how lovely Betty was and that she added something really unique to the day!
The flowers on the bumper were fantastic and fitted our colour scheme perfectly! We could not have asked for more out of a wedding car and you provided a flawless service from start to finish! Huge thanks!!

What a stunning picture!

Enter Winnie!

Angela and her groom were one of the first couples to try Winnie.  I’m so pleased you enjoyed our white beauty:

We absolutely loved the bus – it was just perfect for us. Kevin was fantastic and all arrangements went totally to plan (I found you all easy to communicate with and very helpful). The weather wasn’t on our side on the day so the bus put a big

Winnie the Bus!

smile on our faces when it turned up and the champagne was a lovely touch too. The guests all loved the bus and thought it was very original (my parents in particular who loved having their picture taken with it as well!) We couldn’t have asked for anything more so thank you.

Kind words from Lizzie and James!

Lovely James surprised his bride Lizzie with Betty the Beetle.  They both love the Bug & Bus experience and wrote this to us:

Perfect service, beautiful car and the bottle of champagne was a great start to the celebrations, thank you very much.

Goodbye Babe!

Babe The Love Bus!

Can you spot the kitchen sink?

Our gorgeous Neptune Blue camper has ceased  working as a wedding vehicle.  She was our original VW, we got married in her and have enjoyed numerous holidays with her.  We missed camping in her too much so decided to just keep her for our family jolly jaunts to Dorset!!
