Introduction

Hello, this is me… No not the guy in front, that’s Timmy. Behind him… The yellow Beetle, that’s me! I am called Low ‘N Slow, for my lifestyle and after my main characteristics; low for my stance and slow for my speed. I started a blog in 2023 to share my adventures in the real world. Since end of 2023 I have a younger sister named Charlie, she is a VW campervan, we share this blog. Although we only go out in nice weather conditions, there is enough to share. Enjoy the reading.

Current Backroad Therapy

How I Started

It was a strong wish for me to drive further trips, to enjoy more beautiful sceneries. After a series of events I showed Timmy that I was capable of doing more. Especially driving up the ‘Knobbel’ smoothly after receiving the yearly tune-up and a new fuel pump, I think he was a little impressed…

Adding our ages of the owner and me, we celebrate 100 years this year. Another good reason for a memorable trip of backroad driving to the south of Europe.

In this blog I keep you updated on our adventure and hopefully the many adventures that follow.

The Achterhoek Experience

This weekend was the first camp-out for me this season, after all the care I have had it was time to proof myself. I felt good also I haven’t been leaking oil anymore, the care worked. The yearly trip of the two friends was planned for this weekend and a farm campsite in the east of The Netherlands was booked. […]

Upgrades, tune-up and ready to camp

Over the last weeks I have been spoiled, not so much driving and receiving all kinds of upgrades. First was new headlights, my original headlights started rusting in the bottom, so not completely watertight. My replacement lights are still old-school H4 lights but the clear glas version with yellow bulb. Despite I am an old girl, I still like to […]

Aircooled Family Day

Today we have been heading out to the South of The Netherlands for a Aircooled VW even, called Aircooled Wanroij. The day started early for me, after topping up oil we went on our way to the east. After a quick fuel stop for expensive but delicious 98 fuel, we continued to pick up my green/white nephew. From there we […]

Karuizawa May 2026

A beautiful Japan trip to Karuizawa, a road trip of 280 kilometers north in Nagano perfecture. We started at 8 in the morning from Hamamatsu and a long drive ahead of us as the average speeds in the mountain area is not that high. We could see mount Fujii from the car and we passed some mountains with still some […]

Bring-your-car-to-work-day

Last Thursday we had a drive to The Hague, we had a big rain shower on the way. It was a little scary for me as my front tires are worn a bit, the inside are like slick tires, somebody needs to check my wheel-alignment I guess. It was quite busy on the roads. Luckily at night I could have […]

Camp weekend at the Veluwe

It was time for a weekend trip! No big distance again but an easy drive to the east. After picking up our friend we went to Garderen, a small place in the national park the Veluwe. The place is famous for the sand sculptures. We arrived at a farm campsite ‘de boerenzwaluw’, after looking around we decided to stay there. […]

Getting to know the area

Today I had the opportunity to get to know part of the area on this sunny day. It started with some nice, not too fast, twisty roads. After that it was on small roads towards the south, along many small rivers, windmills and through small historical towns. It is such a beautiful area here. It was a great ride in […]

Crown of Holland Tour

Today I made a beautiful tour in our area. We have driven what is called the Crown of Holland, the north region of the province. The heat was over, so a decent 19 degrees which was good for touring. A lot of the tour went along the water, but most of the time we were driving behind a dike or […]

The weather forecast is good good opportunity to camp on this extended family trip. It started with the familiar route to the east, after coffee at the family we went to the camping […]
