Off course headline news this week is the war between Russia and Ukraine.
President Poetin said he will double gas and oil prices.
This can be very positive as it will speed up development of hydrogen fusion.
Hydrogen fusion should take over most forms of fossil fuels as we know today in less as 20 years if we can believe the scientists.
The treatment of President Poetin will put only more pressure to reach this goal sooner!
The remaining oil will be more as enough to keep our Classic cars driving for pleasure and passion.
The future looks good, welcome to our weekly News…

This bulb holder was the missing link to complete our bullet indicator.
Buller indicators been used on Buses after they banned the semaphores what happened for US export models from 1955, the rest of the world had to wait till 1960.
For the 1964 Bus model year the bullet indicators been replaced by the “fried egg” style indicator.
For US export model Beetles the bullet indicator was also used from 1955 till 1957.
While the bullet indicator housing differs between Bus and Beetle the bulb holder, seal and lens fits both applications.
