Stufengas - cool accessory from the fifties


This piece was mounted in a 54 oval back in the eighties and used for a couple of years. The former owner went for many long trips with it and can confirm that you actually save a bit of fuel using it. The box and manual was saved for later. Now, both are resting together in my basement.

Oh no!

















I've been waiting for this... Now you can get everything brand new. Manifolds was made with concave lettering as some of the originals was. I hope he doesn't start making the ones with convex lettering. Then it will be very difficult to see the difference between OG and Repro..

Hunting high and low - crashboxes




I've been looking for a crashbox for quite a while now. I have so far experienced that it is not easy to find a box from a particular month. So far this is my best choice.. Can YOU tell me production month without looking it up..?

Pilgrimage – going back to the roots, literally..



After driving one and a half hour i finally came to the place where the wreck of my 51 Karmann kab once was found back in 1977. The guy that discovered the car – or should I say the remains of the car - told me it was growing a tree inside it back then.. I would really love to find a photo of it before it was rescued, but so far I've been unable to find one. Anyway, the spot was quite easy to find thanks to KAs great memory after all these years.

Now,many years later there was nothing to see on the same spot, except broken bits of glass. And – yes - i checked all the bits for SEKURIT logos, but could not find any...

Hold your horses!

This is so silly... Do you remember the economy meters that was fitted in many cars in the eighties and nineties? Well, this is in a very strange way the same thing. The big difference is that instead of looking at a gauge, you have to rest your eyes on this horse and see how its dancing around. This part turned up at the big swap meet in Bad Camberg and got lots of attention. But the best of all was that a norwegian sechsvolt friend actually bought it:-)! I am really looking forward to see it in the car K.L!
Oh! I allmost forgot, here is a demonstration of the now famous Kÿrill:

The countryside in Norway has alot to offer

Amazing what pops up after the snow has gone. I have passed this farm many many times, but I've never seen this before! Hope somebody can help it back on the road some day. *Fürsten*
