Hessich Oldendorf and EBI3

So its been a while since our last update again but things have been so busy as usual! We took a 2 week trip to Europe with a couple of friends from the US and we took in Hessich Oldendorf vintage VW treffen and EBI3! What a trip! Hessich was absolutely amazing, I'm an absolute sucker for a stock early bug and with 27 hebmullers amongst things it truly was awesome! We then took in the Auto Museum in Wolfsburg which was so cool and then we headed to the actual VW factory for a guided tour which was really cool.

Part of the weeks festivities was a couple of shop open houses and one shop that really had us drop our jaw's was Steve's VW Shop in Zaffelare, WOW!!! This place was amazing! Steve and his wife Sofie were so hospitable and showed us round the shop and fed and watered us like Royals! Photo's will be below! Steve has the latest technology in order to build some outstanding motors and we'd certainly like to try them out!

EBI 3 was again a really cool trip with the car running strong on the makeshift strip running a best time of 12.2 wheel spinning off the start! We were then approached by Daisuke from Street VWs magazine in Japan for a magazine feature on our car, we were super stocked with that. And then we were fortunate enough to win Best 57-67 Type 1 which for us was an amazing achievement as we didn't 'show' the car and there were so many nice cars on show. All in all a great trip! Now for the photos..
