Thank you very much Nao, for this wonderfull picture !
 
Imagine this, being in a traffic jam with only type threes… it happens… in japan! this picture is taken on the 6th TYPE THREE DAY that is organised in japan. djeezes. what a picture. i still can’t believe it ! all these squares and notches and fastys… hmmmmm… everything to make a type three buffer drewl !
 
what the heck, i was planning going over to japan next year, to check out the volkswagen scene, so now i will have to go when there is a type three day.
KEEP US (and me!) POSTED about the type three days, NAO !!!!

Several posts down below, i asked if anyone knew teh existence of a moustache mirror… well heer is the answer: yes it exists, and it is the nickname of the rear vieuw mirror of a T34 karmann Ghia (type three edition of the karmann ghia).
 
you can clearly see a french moustache embossed in the metal of the rear vieuw mirror.

volksworld show^part 2

This picture was taken at the same volksworld show, at approximatly the same moment. It is teh best nutria square i know. i love the combination of the chrome bumpers, the fuchs wheels and the chrome bumpers !
 
this car is not an S-spec car, so it has only one carburettor and it might be a 1963 model ? to be 100% sure of that, we have to see the dashboard…

volksworld show

this picture was taken on a volksworld show, don’t know anymore wich year however…
notice the nice two tone option, and the CORRECT roofline.
 
i always try to visit the volksworld show in one day:
i leave ninove at 5.00am in the morning,
hammering my newbeetle to the show,
being back home at 11.00pm.

ardenne blue 2002

Here is a picture of me and my wife “cutting a corner” during the 2002 ardenne blue rally. it is teh best rally in belgium, in my honest opinion, because it combines sportsmanship with tourism and “cuisine” (very important for me :-))
 
Check out the results of the 2004 edition on http://www.trajectoire.be/ this is the edition were i lost it completely in the first minutes of the rally !
