N7

period picture: two beetles driving down the famous route N7 at Livron.
 
(N7 is like route 66 in France, connecting Paris with Menton in the South, and even going further to Milan, Italy)
 
picture credit : Thierry Dubois (order his (french) book full of period pictures, with sadly only two vw on www.nationale7.org )

periples in the NORTH

if you guys over there in the north would be able to buy the latest “boxertje” (the ruling dutch aircooled magasine, by and for all aircooled vw and porsche lovers) you would be truly amazed: i wrote an article about all the strange things i saw in norway.
 
😉

money shot

here is is, the money shot.
 
the last pic of my beloved beetle when i left him at the volkswagen garage. it didn’t do me any good, leaving him there, all alone, in the cold air… i must admit, i had it very difficult not to cry and weep like a litle baby. it was more pain and grief than a white boy can manage.
 
i promised him it would be all okay, and that the new owner would take care of him.
i got his old wheels back on it, and raised it to original spec.
 
and i drove home with a new car: the same model, same color, but in cabrio.
