battery fire ?

dude … this car came driving trough the gates ! what a performance of the team repairing this coolflo’ bus ! it had a battery fire less than ten days before the show !!! … the owner took it as a sport … and even posed with the car and a fire extinguisher 🙂 congrats for the nice work dude !

fattest wheels ever ?

dude, i guess these are the fattest wheel combo i have ever seen on a car … i bet they were MADE for this psychadelic creation … named MANX SR !

volksworld show
you’ve all seen some funky pics of the recent volksworld show allready, i am sure … just wanted to share my highlights with the bloggers …

we were quite early, so started setting up the cars immediatly.

i was quite impressed with the panamera turbo with yellow banana brakes. it looks like doing 310km/hr even when standing still … it better for that price ! (139.000 eur in Belgium)

Mario’s projects always do it for me, he’s also quite into Type threes … and knows the weak spots of the type thre buffers. this very early “nos” back was done in a few weeks before the volksworld show, Mario likes to work under pressure he told me !

and he has a good insurance … as it seems
some guys from the club had made the trip over … phil, Mike, Roland, Schrek and Xavier were on the loose together with the euro bug in team ! Schrek and Xavier won a top 20 award, so the DAS took 2 trophy’s home (any club did better ?) i felt that the interior of Roland was worth a top 20 award alone … but hey … who am i to judge ?
keep note of xavier polishing this car … and he even uses it Offroad style BIGTIME !

i kept having a personality problem all weekend long … DAS member with the 1957 2195cc bigwindow beetle, or the euro bug in promoter with the 1967 baywindow bus, … hmmm … any similarities in years of cars here ?

the highlight (or one of them) was the sand scorcher … who did not played with one or wanted one when he was a kid ? check out the different tire styles … blackstar style to drive and smoothie/paddled to play in the sand ! congratulations for the BUGBOX team


quite busy on sunday … i saw really alot of this vieuw, out of our euro bug in promo stand

sometimes the vieuw changed, and i really had to take a picture of this 7 week old euro bug in baby ! congrats to the mom !

and on sunday, the rainbow came out of the parking lot next to the esher hall !

and did i forget to mention this mad creation of ballzy ? a Golf ? … yes … but with a type three pan … ballzy, you did an awesome job on that car, and i really liked the idea of a golf winning a top 20 trophy this year ! the brazilia next to it made it a really nice couple of show cars … the t2d crew is offffff the scale creating these nice projects !!!
keep posted for more volksworld madness later on !
dashplaque lover ?

type three news from CSP !
Eine neue Version der CSP PYTHON Auspuffanlage entwickeln wir gerade speziell für den VW Typ-3. Die beengten Platzverhältnisse erforderten von uns eine völlig neue Konzeption der Anlage, denn die Beibehaltung des typischen PYTHON Kollektors und abgestimmte Rohrlängen unter Einhaltung der Zündfolge standen im Lastenheft an oberster Stelle. Wir haben uns lange Gedanken gemacht und viel Zeit investiert, um Ihnen in Kürze eine optimale Lösung für den Typ-3 anbieten zu können – perfekt bis ins Detail und in gewohnter CSP Qualität.
Daher ist es uns ein besonderes Anliegen, auch für diese Baureihe die ultimative Auspuffanlage zu realisieren. Neben dem ästhetischen Anspruch steht für uns bei der Entwicklung die maximale Performance gleichermaßen im Vordergrund.
Geplant ist, die neue Python Auspuffanlage für den Typ 3 auf der Volksworld Show in England erstmals der Öffentlichkeit zu präsentieren.
Wir möchten Sie schrittweise über so einen Entwicklungsprozess im Hause CSP informieren.
Der erste Schritt ist natürlich die Idee, der dann die Vermessung an einem entsprechenden Fahrzeug folgt. Ziel ist es, die räumlichen Verhältnisse aufzunehmen und eine virtuelle Entwicklungsumgebung für den PC zu schaffen.
Entsprechende Bilder des Vermessvorgangs können sie heute sehen…
-> shortly translated “order you high performance CSP for type three exhaust here, real soon now”

trafic jam !

world’s most “sweet” traficjam, these little chocolat baywindow busses in several different editions were waiting for me on valentine’s day … how “sweet” is that 🙂
