VW Factory Emden, Germany (1974-1978) Type 1 US FI engine install

That was a surprise!

Posted on 2021-04-22

So I stumbled on a compilation video posted on the YouTube channel The Wheel Network yesterday. It is a bit of a mix of factory footage of Type 1 assembly at the Emden, Germany factory from 1974-1978, some of the final era of Type 1 production at the Puebla, Mexico plant from 2003, and then…

TVR Cerbera

The TVR Cerbera makes me moist!

Posted on 2020-05-22

So either MotorTrend did not have access to all episodes of Wheeler Dealers or who knows what but the Tivo has been snagging some that I am shocked I have never seen before and one of them deal with a car I had zero knowledge of: the TVR Cerbera. Season 10 Episode 6 introduced me…

Vintage Voltage

Television – Vintage Voltage on MotorTrend OnDemand

Posted on 2020-03-12

So all of a sudden a new program showed up on my MotorTrend OnDemand called Vintage Voltage and seems to be a full broadcast version of the YouTube channel Vintage Voltage Conversions. Let’s just say they couldn’t have made a more perfect show premiere aimed right at me. Well… maybe if it had been a…

Damn was I off! $52,800.00???

Posted on 2020-01-20

So last week I went through the auction docket for Barret-Jackson Scottsdale 2020 and predicted that one triple-white 79 vert would go for $20K. Oh my god how wrong I was! It crossed the block at $52,800.00! That’s like mind-blowing to me. Yes it was very low miles. Yes it was in excellent condition. But…

Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale this week!

Posted on 2020-01-122020-01-12

So this week is Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale. Let’s see what’s up and coming on the block to see how people bid. There’s a crap ton of VW’s so many it is hard to comment on them all. Some ones I’ll be interested in following the sale on… 1972 VW Beetle Custom – No reserve. I don’t…

Barret-Jackson’d out!

Posted on 2019-01-202019-01-20

I am so Barrett-Jackson 2019 Scottsdale burnt out it isn’t funny. Now I don’t watch it live. That would be torture given how many hours of coverage airs on television as well as the number of cars that I get so bored with. After the 1000th boring Camaro, Chevelle, and Mustang roles across one kind…

Insert Fantasy Vintage VW Car Show Name Here

Posted on 2019-01-122019-01-12

So most people that know me well know that I tend to not see the world through what most people would call “normal eyes”. Internally I often mix and match genres and styles, mentally creating odd and often absurd ideas that are quite frankly best left to myself  for fear of being shackled and taken…

Graveyard Carz is so painful to watch.

Posted on 2019-01-122019-01-12

I watch a lot of what is basically “automotive television” and really enjoy series that do a great job focusing mostly on the auto work and getting the amount of “on-screen personality” of the people on the show just right. I imagine it is not easy to develop given that most people should never ever…

Fantomworks 12 19 2018 Season 8 Episode 12

Wait! Did You See That? No. 2

Posted on 2018-12-202018-12-20

Wait! Did You See That? The Beetle for a fraction of a second in this week’s “Bow Tie ‘Til I Die” episode of Fantomworks? I’m pretty sure that this the 1967 Beetle from this season’s episode 10 titled “Beetle Juiced” down to bare metal and primer. This was a car that I didn’t like when…

Bitchin Rides Dec 12 2018 Season 5 Episode 11

Wait! Did You See That? No. 1

Posted on 2018-12-202018-12-20

If you’ve read my posts at my Facebook Super Beetles page you’ll no doubt have come across my stupid posts when I get excited about seeing a Beetle in the back of a scene on a television episode. Hell, it actually also translates to when I see one in public. Matt will get so pissed…
