I've been telling you about our spring trip to Norway this year, once before, but I did not show you all the pictures of the old Volkswagens back then. There are more of the old cars hidden up there. Spotted these standing outside a barn, wonder whats inside the barn then, but we will maybe newer know.

New car at Winther's garage

Yes it finally happend, I got myself a 1965 11 window splitbus. I've been dreaming about a car like this for several years now, and now the dream came true, I'm now the lucky owner of this lowered beauty. I will not write a lot about the car, think the pictures will tell a lot more then I can do.

SCC 2009

Better late then never, so here is some pictures for you from the great event in Norway Scandinavian Callook classic. It was great to see a lot of cool racing, and how often do you see 4 schwimmwagens in the water at the same time, even though the weather was bad and there where cold at nights, theres no doubt it was worth the long boattrip to Oslo. Thank you boys, for a great weekend.

Holiday pictures

This spring we where on holiday in Norway with the famaily, a very nice trip indeed. But you know even when you're on hoiliday with your girlfriend and your famaily, you still aware on the old cars from Wolfsburg. So driving arround sightseeing in the beautiful land of Norway my eye spotted some interesting, we just had to stop and take a look at. And as you can see, there where more then just one car. Unfurtunately there where'nt anyone home, so now great VW storries this time, but I got a few pictures.

Window accessory

Found this accessory for the side window, for fresh air in the cabin. So even though I knew it's a cool accessory part that i couldn't use for my cabrio, I bought it anyway. Think my brother is pretty satisfied about I did that, because it turned out that it fitted the Type 3 window perfect, so he became the lucky owner of this gear for his car.

Photos in my mailbox

Sold a set of Hagus mirrors to Gary in California. We run into some trouple with the shippingl of it, so it started the e-mail contact. Since then we have talked about a lot of other things then just the mirrors, among that, which cars we owend over the years. And in that case I have to say that Gary have been one lucky owner of some very cool cars. Among them there have been a 1952 export ragtop, a 1951 split and a 1953 oval ragtop, and now he own's a 1956 oval.Who wouldn't like to be the owner of just one of them, I know I sure would. Talk to you soon Gary.

1. Mai 2009

For the first time ever, I wasn´t driving my own car to Hannover, but my friend Søren did, and I was at the passenger set all the way. It was great again this year, I meen what more can you whish for then sunshine, burgers, great looking cars and girls serving in hotpants. Here's some pictures for you, from this years trip.

Pattern shifter knob

Some of you might have notice that I have made a post on the blog earlier with a org shifter knob, but at that time I bought one that did not fit my car, ( stupid Thomas) so I sold it and was once again looking for one for my vert, and one day a good friend of mine skipt me an e-mail saying that it was time to buy if I wanted one for my car, so I did. It was not in super shape, it needed a cleaning and some fresh paint, but after that was done it now looks a lot better. Think it will by very nice in my car, and a lot better to shift gear with.

Let there be light.

Got myself a set of Bosch extra lamps, so this season will be a season of new light, think it will look cool for the car, and it will also be nice with some extra light for the dark freeways. Stay tuned on the blog, to see how it looks on the car.

Volksworld show 2009 vol. 2

The tickets for the show was in my mailbox when I got home from work today. i almost can't wait until Thursday afternoon where we are taking of to England. I'm realy excited to visit the show again this year, hoping for great weather, top cars and a lot of super atmosphere.

Engine project

This is my new engine project, or as you can see it's actualy not very new, but to me it is. It's a 1200 cc 34 hp standard engine and the plan on the long time project is to make a super nice spare engine for my cabrio, you know just in case of. I have absolutly no time plan for this engine projekt, I'm sure it will take me a lot of time, but it's going to be a "when I feel for it" project.

Think I will need some new engine tin, so if you have something lying on the garage floor irritating you please let me know.

Orange Bay

This is Flemming, or actualy it's his car. A 1972 custom orange bay picup. For this vinter Flemming have made some new things for the car, among other things a new cover for the platform in matching colurs to the car. And some new rims, how many bay pick-ups have you seen on 19" wheels? So I think it's ready now for the season of 2009, and for the May cruiser madness to Hannover 1. of May.

Exhaust accessory

Got myself this new Empi accessory for the exhaust, thers not much to say about it, else that after looking at it a few times mounted on the car I think it's rather cool.

Gustav's new garage

Girlfriend Line and I went by Gustav's place to celebration of roof truss was erected on Uncle's new garage project. This is going to be great, who would not like to have a brand new, super nice indoor place for all your VW's just outside the door. Thank for a great afternoon at your place, with some VW talk. And Betina thanks a lot for the food, you are a true master, it tasted perfect.

Garage cleaning

This satursay became big garage cleaning day, it was mostly like housewife spring cleaning illness. But now we are ready for spanner and screwdiver madness, or at least the garage is clean to do something, so that the cars can be ready for springtime cruises.
