Meeting up with old friends

Patiently awaiting an old friend at the small docks in Hamar. Paddle steamer approaching is called Skibladner, and is the worlds oldest of it's kind still in timetable traffic. She made her maiden voyage on august 2. 1856, and has been operating the same route on norways biggest lake Mjøsa ever since.

The fact that the panelvan was sold from Hamars VW dealer Olrud in november 54, and having spent all its life in the area gives us good reasons to believe that these two workhorses have met quite a few times in the past

Das boot

It's old, it's cool and it's made out of aluminium. In other words we just could not refuse it, even though it ain't a car...

We picked this one up in Sweden, and we know there is another one just like it still around there. That is about all we know about this beauty.

If anyone has some info feel free to drop us an e-mail or leave a comment..

Petermax Rennen - registration is open!

The event.....on your way to the event:

Die Petermax Muller Gedachtnis Rennen 2013

Registration is now open - go to this website to find out more:
http://www.petermaxrennen.org/

This is a fun & informal navigational rally starting out at the PROTOTYP museum in Hamburg at noontime on Thursday and rolling accross the finish line in Hessisch Oldendorf on the same evening. The idea is "period correct, period" .... in the spirit of early VW / Porsche rallying. We really look forward to this thing....both the "rennen breakfast" on Thursday and the bbq party in the evening...

Get your act together and sign up for this greta event!

Headin' for Hessisch....#2

In #2's garage things have been coming together lately and the latest acquisition is soon to roll up to the starting line of the Petermax Memorial race....

Headin' for Hessisch....#3

All Screws have been working hard this winter.... The Olympics are coming up in June!
Every 4 years, the whole world meets in the little town of Hessisch-Oldendorf....and most Screws are bound to be there. It is nothing short of mandatory, really.

This year will be better than ever - with the Petermax Memorial race from PROTOTYP to Hessisch on Thursday, and then the Olympics from Friday-Sunday.

The busiest Screwdriver of them all has been #3, and he recently took the first ride in many years.....in his Grendahl Auto-sponsored Zwitter rallycar. Check out the details - looking great and fit for fight...

We spent this Saturday in heaven...

Let's call him "John"..... John is one of the nicest guys in the hobby, one of the most enthusiastic in the hobby...yet one of the most unknown in the hobby. If you look up "low key" in your dictionary, you will find a picture of John.

During a recent visit to the USA, we stopped by to check out his unbelievable collection in the most anonymous place you could ever think of.

John's collection covers pretty much everything from early Beetles to early 911s - and by everything, we mean everything. Some samples: 4xRometsch, 2xHebmuller, 2xWendler, Beutler, 11xPorsche 356 (seriously!), about 10 911s, a handful of 912s, a Devin, a Manx, a Zwitter, a Dannenhauer & Stauss....well - can you think of anything missing in this heaven?

Thanks a lot for a great day John!

Our Porsche friend in LA, Magnus Walker's little documentary film has been out for a while now. If you have'nt seen it yet, it's a must see!!
