Davids Ride

This nice ride is Davids Karmann. Yesterday we've pumped the engine in. Too bad Davids Ghia won't be ready for the Bugtour next week.

Speeding

On my way back from Retro VW Mania, I though it was about time to let my ride show me where he's capable off. The result was not disapointing for my bone-stock 1500S. (BTW this picture might seem familiar, it is indeed already published on Ffred's blog http://vw1500s.skynetblogs.be/ but I wanted to give Ffred the premiere of this shot on special request ;-) Say hello the Ffred.)

Retro VW Mania 12

This Karmann Cabrio just had the right stance.

Retro VW Mania 11

Early stock Notch. This one was pretty solid.

Retro VW Mania 10

Early single cab baywindow slammed on 17" Mercedes wheels.

Retro VW Mania 9

Nice detailing on those Porsche rims.

Retro VW Mania 8

Nice vintage bugs standing side by side.

Retro VW Mania 7

Need Fuchs wheels? Nice early VW Derby.

Retro VW Mania 6

Could this be Audi's version of our beloved Type Three Notchback? This one looks cool slammed on Cookiecutters.

Retro VW Mania 5

Period perfect looking bugs. In front is Jelle's ride and in the back is Nicolas' ride.

Retro VW Mania 4

Karmann Line-up was to a high quality too.

Retro VW Mania 3

Another shot of the Type Three Line-up.

Retro VW Mania 2

Nice Variant on Gasburners as seen on Retro Mania.

Retro VW Mania 1

Last weekend, a few members of DVF made it to Retro VW Mania in Mechelen. The cars where divided in different classes which made some nice line-ups. Here is a shot of the Type Three Line-up.

Meeting Zaffelare 14

Just forgot to mention that I also took a throphy home. I competed in the standard 1600 class on the dragstrip and my little original 1500cc stomper went in the top three. Not bad for a heavy Notch, with a powerplant that has never been rebuild since it left the VW-factory back in 1965, between those lightweight bugs.
We would also like to say a little thankword to Nico and his crew for the nice meeting they set up. Hope the weather will be better next year so more cars show up. Big ups to Nico and his crew for the nice weekend.

Meeting Zaffelare 13

This Oval looked hard on grey BRM's.

Meeting Zaffelare 12

Nice Type Three. Wheelchoice is a little strange. This Notch is in a solid condition.

Meeting Zaffelare 11

Another great Old School bug on slicks altough sprinttrack was way to muddy.

Meeting Zaffelare 10

O yes, even Ffred of http://vw1500s.skynetblogs.be/ showed up in Zaffelare with his Old School Bug. Hi Ffred see u @ Bugtour 2005.

Meeting Zaffelare 9

Rat pick up.

Meeting Zaffelare 8

This Ghia took best Ghia. Finished result is to a very high standard. Enkie five spoke look good and this ride has al the right bits.

Meeting Zaffelare 7

This cool Variant took 'Best Type Three'. Previous year it was my Notch which took the price but this ride is a certainly worth the price. This Variant is equiped with Flat 4 BRM's, Abarth exhaust and Gene Berg shifter. It shure is a nice combo.

Meeting Zaffelare 6

Nice display when you entered the meeting in Zaffelare on sunday. Gasser Trash was getting some airtime all weekend long. Dragstrip was to muddy to let Steve's awesome beast Fast Scrap do his thing.

Party Zaffelare 2

Told you, it really set the place on fire.

Party Zaffelare 1

After the meeting, there was a party with a great DJ that played songs like 'ik heb een heel apart gevoel van binnen als ik naar je kijk mijn lieve schat'. A real Belgian Schlager. It translate like this: 'I have a very apart feeling inside when I look at you my lovely darling.' It really set the place on fire.

Meeting Zaffelare 5

Picture of Steve's Hoodride on erco's. Meeting of Zaffelare takes place in Steve's backyard.

Meeting Zaffelare 4

Another ratlook from the Belgian Ratlook Association. More of them on www.bra.be.

Meeting Zaffelare 3

Nice Ratlook with Swedish decklid. Nice

Meeting Zaffelare 2

Small DVF line-up in Zaffelare.

Meeting Zaffelare 1

Yesterday was the first day of the meeting in Zaffelare. The bad weather was bad so not a lot of people turned up, the atmosphere was great with a 150m sprinttrack. Today the weather looks better so we're hopefull to see some more VW to show up. Picture shows the start of a 40 km trip.

Don't forget the meeting in Zaffelare tomorrow. Maybe we'll bring the Castrol GTX bug with us to get some airtime.
