8 märz 2013 - Friends of the house
No Friday product update today, as BBT is in a very sad mood after we got the news BBT’s friend of da House, Dave Omel, died in a car accident on the night from Wednesday to Thursday….
Dave was a very close friend of the house and a mental support as well… we will always remember Dave as a main part of Eddy and Dave’s garage in orange California. our condolences and prayers will go straight forward to Eddy and Dave’s family, Eddy and Dave acted like twins brothers….
Besides vivid VW enthusiast Dave was a very important person to the Disney corporation as he managed Disney land in Anaheim California for several years, if not decades…
Dave drove his 1959 Karmann Ghia lowlight coupe into a Ford Bronco, the Ghia caught fire and Dave was not able to be rescued by people from the neighbourhood who tried very hard but didn’t succeed….
Another black day in BBT’s history, but Dave we will remember You always.. .our memory’s are fond and You will be with us for always…
If You want to pay some tribute to Dave, just visit the BBT walk of fame, (that’s the corridor between the entry/shop of BBT main building to the stairways for the offices upstairs all the frames there are hung by Dave when he was @ BBT HQ for the convoy to Bad Camberg 2011… this walk of fame will be dedicated now to Dave, forever, and will be our little personal tribute to Dave…
We really counted on Dave’s visit again for our next convoy upcoming June, Dave You will be driving with us, in our memory’s…
A couple of pictures from “Dave in action”…

… and visitors for the shop come out in their regtops, convertibles and not to forget… Trikes!
A good opportunity for Hans to come out from behind his desk and enjoy the sun, while he is helping this trike owner to obtain a suitable replacement exhaust.
