here’s Hubert’s son!

At the f.re.e travel and leisure convention in Munich, Germany, the beloved Volkswagen Type 2 Bulli van comes in three flavors: classic, miniature Lego, and full-size Lego classic. Sitting on a stand next to its nearly identical brothers, the Lego Bulli was constructed in less than six weeks out of approximately 400,000 bricks.

Life-size Lego cars are popping up everywhere in the forms of the Bugatti Chiron, Chevrolet Silverado, McLaren 720S, Batmobile, and the Toyota Camry, to name a few. It seems with each new model, there is more and more detail and ever-increasing functionality. This van is no different, as the amount of thought put into the design is incredible.

In addition to its working headlamps and taillights, opened side door, and pop-up camper top, the Type 2’s camper bits and interior decorating is fanatical. As seen in episode 4 of a mini-series filmed about the van below, the VW has folding tables, a coffee set, picture frames on the walls, a radio, a gasoline grille, ketchup and mustard bottles, seasonings, and toothbrushes. For those still not impressed, it has beer bottles, too.

The van, which was crafted from about 400,000 Lego bricks, was built by two men, Pascal and Rene, in approximately six weeks time. 

Mr Trump and his brand new North Korean play buddy didn’t agree a compromise on the nuclear deal, or at least on the missing part of it. Really weird you read in the morning papers next day that especially the North Koreans will continue the “good” communications they had. Big stuff…

Closer at home, here in Flanders, news from page 10 or so was way more “BIG” to me. The University of Ghent Belgium has built a panel to be mounted on the roof of your house. This “solar panel look-alike” puts humidity in the air directly in to hydrogen (H) This brand new invention will supply more than enough hydrogen to heat your house, makes your electricity and drives your car (in an eco friendly way). Now that is what I call braking news, we can save our planet, at least if baby boys Trump and Kim don’t let them explode with their nuclear toys!

How governments will react to this is a big question, they can love or hate  cars, but fact is that only already in stupid Belgium “the car” is good for 30 billion income a year, pays over half of all retirements and many more… now how our governments gonna eat that? Isn’t this a “BIG” big challenge?

@ BBT HQ we also had a big challenge last couple of months, with a real small clip, but we succeeded and they’re damn cool! And as usual when we touch something we bring it to a good end. Maybe we’re living fairy-tale, but the believe in good things gives us so much energy in our VW life…:)

Here’s THE clip for your window channel in your door…

Proudly produced by BBT now since the OE manufacturer broke the tooling and didn’t want to invest in “such stupid old things” anymore.

We made them in the best quality you can imagine in DIN C80W1 Carbon tool steel on the most modern clips machines. Through good negotiations (read “quantities”)  we could achieve a very low production price what results in extreme low selling prices.

We sell these worldwide in enormous quantities, so don’t stay behind. You can buy direct now and gain! Don’t come telling us we didn’t tell you!

Finally back in after a way longer as imagined production period, now we’re fully stocked for all your demands.

Forget about the Urethane counterparts (only good for competition). Original restoration needs original rubber, our IRS mounts are perfect and will assure a smooth ride as when your IRS beetle left the showroom floor. We do sell these each, so you need to order 4pcs for one car.
