Busy summertimes


Well, ain't much happening to the blog these days. Of course it does not in any way reflect what's going on with my VW hobby. The summer has been absolutely fantastic this year, with a very sucessful trip to Germany and Hessisch Oldendorf. The car went almost trouble free the 1100 km, exept a broken accleratorcable just entering the ferry between Denmark and Germany. A little stressful minutes with some pliers and a helpful co-driver we made it into the ferry.

The meeting in Germany was very godd with some outstanding cars, EVERYWHERE!! We also met som familiar faces from the internet, very nice indeed.

The Abarth kit got a lot of interest, and as a very unexpected bonus I got a photosoot of the car by a German journalist. I will come back with more if the pictures will be published. A sneak peek of the shoot shown in the picture above.

These days the preparations for Norways largest VW event SCC at Gardermoen Raceway takes up a lot of my VW time. The autumn will bring some exiting stuff for me and the sechs volt, as a new project is rolling into the workshop. For me this will be a few steps up in restoration challenge... It's bigger and a lot rustier than anything I have dealt with before. Stay tuned for more blogging when the object is being collected.

PS! This weekend Splitboy and Knechten are going fishing and dancing samba in the Norwegian mountains... Stay tuned.
