Not much time for blogging

I am currently too busy to blog regularly due to my new job. I will also move to a bigger place tomorrow and don't have internet there yet. Will get back to speed once everything is sorted! Cheers everyone all over the world for their regular visits!

Wedding car

Two of my best friends got married last weekend, and I took the bride to church with my beetle. I actually promised them the van would be ready in time...

WTF?! Goggomobil...

...with radial engine.
I don't have much time for blogging these days due to my new job. I was sure I can upload some pics of my new motor today, but unfortunately it's still not ready.

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!

These guys are doing a similar trip from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego in an old split! Unfortunately their site is in German only.

Follow the adventures of these enthusiasts on their way from Germany to China. Unfortunately they are not up to date with the English translation of their blogging.

The Lounge is 4 sale

Well know for its unique interior the magazine-featured "Lounge" panel is on offer for £26k.

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!

Back from the shotblaster

The van is currently covered in a protective coat and ready for the next stage at Brauer! And no, it won't become a country van. Watch this space...
