31st of August 1994

To the day 15 years ago I bought my beetle! Can't believe how quickly time passes by. The pic shows me and my dad with one of the VW corporate planes. He used to work as a pilot for the Volkswagen Air Service for over 35 years. That's why I'm a Volkswagen child since I was born. No comments about the hair cut please!

My van at the paint shop

I went to Duisburg today to meet up with Thorsten from Brauer. The roof is ready for paint and so are parts of the interior. They can't really start on the exterior yet as the cargo doors are needed for achieving smooth lines. But Guido promised to finalise them very soon!

A laid-back way to deal with (hit-and-run) accidents!
