KWF 2010

Yesterday we made a shortstop at the Kever Winter Festijn in Holland.

The weatherforcast looked horrible, but untill 17.00 the roads where good to drive on.
But at the time we drove home the A12 looked more like a place for iceskating then for driving :)

We made it home, and had a nice day in Rosmalen!

Didn't make a lot of pictures........too cold outside, and not to much news to see inside.

But, ofcourse some teasers!

the rest can be found here, on the KWF 2010 page.

(Or go to the meeting menu on the left.)

Last tuesday we had our anual wintercruisenight!
Not much aircooled cars showed up, but nevertheless it was nice to see everybody for a drink....and not to forget the bus competition :)
Everybody made a lot of work of their 1:14 scalemodel, and the 1st price went to the camper on BRM's, CONGRATULATIONS!
Check out the pictures on the ACN page, and see the samples below.

The beetle is ready to see some (more) snow!
This weekend I mounted a roofrack, and we bought a Hapro box to take our boards!
Best wishes for 2010, and we'll see you next year :)

bad weather in Holland

What a really bad weather...........I hate snow :S
(although I'm going snowboarding in Germany in less then a week)
But here, it's different!
I arrived in my garage today, and more then 12 inch of snow was waiting for my garagedoor.
So we cruised around in Franks Suburban, that's the car to drive with this kind of weather :D
And some people never learn, we offered him to pull him out....but we didn't bring a rope and he hadn't one either, hahaha :)

Snow in Holland

F*CK!
We were expecting some snow............BUT NOT 20cm!!!
It snowed the whole day, so I tried to take the new beetle out for a spin but I couldn't even get it out of the parkingspot :S
Yesterday I made some last pictures from the split, just before it was picked up by the new owner.
The '61 and '57 are outside in the snow at the moment, but the '61 will be gone soon......

new daily

After a long long time, we finally bought a new beetle :)
It was something that was on our wishlist for a few years, but we finally decided to sell the seat and live the dream!
It's a 2.0 Highline executive, with only 74.000 miles on the counter.
Black leather interior with seat heatening, middle armrest, Airco, ABS, ESP, rear spoiler, lowered with a Stroeve motorsport suspension kit, Xenon, foglights, etc etc etc.
This is one of the pictures from the advertisement, will make better ones when we picked it up on saturday!
Beetle is now on the original 16" aluminum wheels, don't know for sure if I will ever mount the Audi wheels back on, those are 20" and a littlebit to big imho :S

thnx Ron!

'66 up to a better life................

Yesterday we sold our '66 split, that we had for more then 9 years.
Due to the lack of time and space, we decided that is was better for the bus to move on to a new owner who can give the bus the love and attention that it needs.
Hopefully the new owner will have as much (or even more!) fun with the split!
Cheers!

Tiki time!

Yesterday we got a real cool present from our friends Janneke a Steve......a pink tiki!!
Cool metalflake, and goldleave volksaddiction logo :D
Big thnx!! we gave it a real cool spot in the hallway!!!

Barnfind

How often do you find a car like that?
Sitting in the dirt since 1985, and it seems that a lot of specific parts are missing like the og bumpers, tacho, ribbed semaphores, OG fenters, etc etc.
But nevertheless a sweet chocolatebrown split from 1952.............
