One year of T2D Coffee Club.
It’s honestly hard to believe that a year ago we opened the doors for the first time. Since then, we’ve served thousands of coffees, met so many amazing people and created something that means more to us than we ever expected.
So, a massive thank you to every single customer who has walked through the doors, supported us, shared our posts, brought friends along or simply stopped by for a coffee.
And to our amazing staff, past and present, thank you. For the early starts, the long days, the laughs, the hard work and for helping make T2D Coffee Club what it is today.
Most of all, thank you for the support, the love and for making this place feel like so much more than just a coffee shop.
One year down. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Thank you. T2D Coffee Club

Straight roads are for fast cars, turns are for fast drivers (in a KAMM 912C 😉)

From what started in a tiny car park outside the skate park in Skegness 20 years ago, to the event it has become today, is absolutely mind-blowing.

Whilst other VW events have shrunk over the years, Toby, Sal and their amazing team have taken theirs to a whole new level. We’re incredibly proud of them and love the small part we get to play each year, creating our little sideshow — the Art Car Build.

This year, we also took @t2dcoffeeclub on the road for the first time and created a pop-up coffee shop too.

There are a LOT of people to thank for making the weekend what it wa

Firstly, everyone involved in building the event itself and making it happen.

Our whole team who worked behind the scenes preparing for the build and the pop-up coffee shop — especially Abi, Phoebe and James, who somehow kept on top of all the organising and logistics.

The full build crew, especially Mr @populuxe_ , for getting stuck in and creating something properly cool.

Our pop-up coffee shop team — Bill, Hugo, Emit and Will — who kept on top of the madness and turned out hundreds of coffees and cakes over the weekend.

Mr Steve, Adrian, George, Matt, Archie, Disco Steve and Jake for supporting the build & generally mucking in wherever needed.

Jon, @dtailedcambs for being Jon, entertaining us all… and, of course, the detailing.

Other Jon (Dixon) & Dixon Jnr., for being our first — and favourite — customers of the day.

Toby, the world’s coolest ice cream man @splitscreenicecream_co for keeping us in ice cream

Tom, @three5six for filming it all.

Walter from Germany, for simply being Walt.

Every single amazing customer, friend YouTube viewer who came over to say hello, hang out and buy a coffee over the weekend.

And all the car builders who put in the hours to build cool shit, debut it and bring it to Skeg. You guys are what these events are all about.

Finally, a heartfelt thank you to Toby, Sal and the entire Skeg crew for putting on what is, without doubt, one of our favourite weekends of the year.

Twenty years from a little car park outside a skate park to this

Pretty cool when you think about it.

Here’s hoping we’re all around to do it again this time next year. ❤️

🎧 Neue Folge vom #WeidenPodcast – „Leben in Weiden“ | Folge Nr. 78 🎉

👉 Heute im Gespräch mit Walter Jelinek – Oldtimer-Spezialist, Unternehmer und VW-Enthusiast. 🚗

Wie wird aus der Leidenschaft für einen VW Käfer ein Unternehmen, das weit über die Grenzen der Oberpfalz hinaus bekannt ist? Genau darüber sprechen wir in der neuen Folge des Weiden-Podcasts.

Walter Jelinek erzählt, wie er 1994 mit The Bug Box den Schritt in die Selbstständigkeit wagte und warum sich seitdem alles um luftgekühlte Volkswagen dreht. Aus einer kleinen Werkstatt in Weiden ist ein international geschätzter Spezialbetrieb für VW Käfer und Bullis geworden.

Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt unseres Gesprächs ist die Faszination klassischer Volkswagen. Warum wecken Käfer und Bulli bis heute so viele Emotionen? Welche besonderen Fahrzeuge und außergewöhnlichen Geschichten sind Walter in mehr als 30 Jahren Werkstattbetrieb begegnet? Und weshalb steckt hinter jeder Restaurierung weit mehr als nur Technik?

Wir sprechen außerdem über Unternehmertum, echtes Handwerk, den Fachkräftemangel und die Zukunft der Oldtimer-Szene. Warum ist Weiden der richtige Standort für einen Betrieb mit Kunden aus aller Welt? Und weshalb werden Leidenschaft, Erfahrung und handwerkliches Können auch künftig unersetzlich bleiben?

Ein persönliches und spannendes Gespräch über Unternehmergeist, automobile Klassiker und die Überzeugung, dass manche Legenden niemals aus der Mode kommen.

Zum Schluss gibt’s natürlich wieder unsere Schnellantwortrunde – spontan, persönlich und mit einem Augenzwinkern. 😉

🎙️ Jetzt reinhören und mehr erfahren über The Bug Box, luftgekühlte Volkswagen und einen Unternehmer, der seine Leidenschaft zum Beruf gemacht hat.

Danke an mein Team im Hintergrund! 💪🎙️

Alle zwei Wochen neu – mit Menschen, die Weiden bewegen.

TUNE IN AT 6PM!

We are back with another episode of T2DTV. It’s jam-packed with all of your favourites too. Our little green bug, Beryl, is back and up for sale again if you’re looking for a supercool 99% OG Paint ride for the summer.

We had a visit from Walter @thebugbox for a couple of days with the @flat6ranch Baja bug before it heads off for its makeover with @the_striper .

Project barn find Notch Back is underway with @paulcowland_ and you can see it progress on here and on Paul’s own Cowland on Cars YouTube series too.

The May edition of our cars and bike night was the biggest yet. If you couldn’t make it, the next one is fast approaching on the 12th of June.

We had the @thepatinablender here blending history as he does on the @ranalah_van and made a very special delivery to Studio Maclean.
