The Belgian Car Scene...

The Belgian show calendar has long been serving up a plate-full of decent car shows. Events like our own Belgian Chapter (Sunday 27th August 2017, Aarschot, Belgium), Laylow, VAG-Opel (RIP) and Heaven on Wheels have established Belgium as a respected player in the European modified car community.

Talking of established, Heaven on Wheels has been running since before most of you were still in nappies. We take a look around at this years event, Heaven on Wheels 2017...

Heaven or Hell?

This event always brings a diverse mix of cars. One thing you're guaranteed is a mix of everything. Of the cars at the show, some are amazing, some are, er, perhaps not so amazing, but everyone gets involved, there is no hierarchy and that’s a nice touch. In any case, Heaven on Wheels remains a busy event on the Belgian show calendar.

The English Invasion...

Heaven on Wheels, or HOW, is located close enough to Calais/Dunkirk, which makes it a favourite “quick win” for UK car people looking to do a “European” car event with a quick in and out via the ferry or channel tunnel.

For anyone out there wondering what Heaven on Wheels is like as an event, it follows a pretty simple formula. Take one massive car park, add modified cars. If it all sounds a bit, Southend Cruise in 1999, it probably should, because this is essentially a big car meet. Everyone loves a throwback, just do yourselves a favour and leave the tracksuits back in ’99… :)
