75 days to Bad Camberg...

The workshop lights are on every evening these days in the Screwdrivers barn... Getting together the big bore 616/36 engine slowly, but surely. Just a few evenings away from going into the HPD Special now.

BBTBBQ, Cannoball Run and Bad Camberg - what a summer!

Funky Freitags Fraulein!

Have a great weekend everybody!

A little wheel display we put together some years ago

Taking a trip down memory lane..

Taking a trip down memory lane..

Progress has been slow...

Not only on updating the blog, but also in the workshop...
Had to get my sh.. together and get some stuff done.
Restored the Rocket Racing wheels, got the type 1 spindle conversion done, brakes and wheels on.. Looking forward to get the bus rolling on its own wheels again soon.

One of our heroes: Mr Emerson Fittipaldi

Twin-engined Beetle!

Taking Vintage Speed to a new level: Mr Fittipaldi has a long and quite extreme racing-career and the Screwdrivers of course knew of his VW-beginnings.. His now-restored blue and white Ghia (with the lovely Le Mans number lights...) was a great template when constructing our "Der Thundersodder Spezialer". Then all of a sudden this twin-engined "Monster Beetle" shows up on our screens! Unreal...! Check the intakes, the tyres...the engines....the competitors! Unbeleivable...

Check this link for details on the "Fitti-Fusca":

Time for somebody to recreate!
