Bad Camberg 2011 Road trip

On our road trip to BBT and Bad Camberg we were spotted by the SuperVW Magazine of France. A sneak peak shot of the october issue. Nice to see many of our good VW friends from around Europe in the same article :)

Taking our flat-fours out for a ride

The end of the air-cooled season is coming upon us, so we decided to turn this week's blue monday into an air-cooled one. Some of us met at a diner just north of Oslo, kicked some tires, ate some retro dinner and talked about plans for the winter..which of course is quite a long list.. as usual! =)

Pre 53 popouts

Another great add from the fifties. The first generation popouts. A very sought after item with frames made of solid aluminium.

Question: Whats correct for a 1951 bug?

I've got lots of Wolfsburg badges lying around and see some small differences. Here is a good example. Take a look at the tail of the wolf and the bricks in the second row from the bottom of the castle... Details details..

I simply love those odd split radios..

This one is not so often seen in cars 60 years later after it came out of the assembly line.

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.

Kübelwagen soapbox car

When it comes to soap box cars, this must be one of the coolest I've seen so far. Wonder if its fast downhill...

VW 38

Thanks to Christian Grundmann and thesamba.com "we" all know this car. Well, here are some pictures of it provided by Sechs volt. The paint on this car was truely amazing!

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..?
