Today we had some touring to the south-east, a small place called Bergharen, there a regional Beetle-club event was organized. Although I am not a beetle I could join because it was an aircooled event. It was a two hour drive on secondary road through the national park The Veluwe, it was familiar road for the most part. It was […]
Today I got my new shoes, you like them? I am over the moon. with them! The wheels where on stock for some time already but the mounting was not just taking old wheels off and put new wheels on. The wheels are from EMPI, the tuning brand I love. It are the EMPI Gasser wheels, reproduction of the Porsche […]
Today I received a lot of improvements. The most important one was the change of fuel-lines. Remember my heatstroke in Luxemburg and the problems last week? That was probably due to the routing of the fuel-lines. The fuel-lines were resting on the enginecase, so when the engine is heating up also the fuel-lines. I guess you also do not like […]
For THE birthday party we went to a campsite close to family, we also have been here last year. The campsite is located in National Part The Veluwe, an impression is in a video in the text. Before we went I had window problems again and the new parts were not easy to fit so we drove off without proper […]
This morning we were all put outside, luckily the sun was shining. It was good for me to be outside with the whole family. Charlie and the young convertible are never inside, at least Charlie only in winter. In this weather is good to see the whole family shining outside. Charlie got a new speedometer cable, she could not tell […]
HEATSTROKE After spending the night indoor, in a room that just fitted my height we had a long drive. We stopped in Luxembourg for fuel and a quick dinner stop. After the stop I started as usual but then I could not keep my engine running. My mechanic was all over the place, calling the Dutch road-side assistance for medical […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
