Forecast was bad, real bad, but all in all rain stayed away from 08.30hr in the morning so we had a nice dry day with sun coming and going… but before all we had VW’s, a lot of VW’s showing up in Ninove, and that’s the reason we go to a VW show, don’t we?

Little John and Big Brother welcomes you!

Ffffast Fred latest project, now how cool is this?

Split window bus rules… and there was plenty to choose from!

Raise your roof, lower the suspension…

I said; LOWER that suspension…

How low You can go on Audi???

or a beetle?

or on a Westy????

but king of the lower cars stay always splitwindow buses! Nothing looks as bad ass as a lowered splittie!! Especially if there’ Bob written all over it….

But even without Bob on it it’s still cool sitting….

but… a Lowlight Ghia is extreme cool too, so classy!!

You would think beetles been made on eye hight for extreme young mechanics…

Mean machines…

or classy Vintage… Geoffrey came out in style, with matching Westfalia Wolfsburg trailer….

Unrestored splittie…

simple but nice… do one need more???

Streets of VW’s and people, this is such a cool show!!

Patina get’s real hot!! Maybe I screamed it long enough…:)

Not exactly BBT housestyle but extreme cool for sure!

Squarebacks are very nice to look at, always!

Big contingent 914’s landed… You like them green? any green? ….

or any other color? On the other side of the street…:)

Lowered Ghia is ubercool, nice stance!

Crowded streets, and more people …:)

Lowlight Ghia… timeless classic!

90’s style super beetle, from the days i still had hair!!

I had to pick the special BBT Bob award and my eyes catched this extreme cool double cab… Australian specification it was RHD and had an extreme cool engine cooling feature….

Besides that it was also immaculate restored… yes it carried my heart away!!

Don’t see those airboxes around rainy Belgian every day!

But off course main thing was the “Thing Fling”… and yes they did “fling”, as there was many “thing”!!

But after all a VW show is Life… real life… hang out between the buses boy…. well hell yeah!

Thanks to Fffast Fred and his team to make it happen again! Ninove is one of Belgium’s best! No discussion!

Happy sunday to everyone…

Going through old picture files I came across this crazy snow plough… guessed it must have been working well to tell from the layout…:)

Enjoy!

From what can be seen it’s just a hand push crazy thing, no selfdriving! Would like to see that in action!!

all powered by a trusty VW engine…

Earlier this week we had to honour to receive a letter from our Japanese collegaues of Flat4 of Tokyo fame.

The sad news is that Volkswagen icon Mr Takashi Komori will retire as from now feb 28.

Mr Komori will be followed by Mr.Nao Fujita as president of the very famous Japanese Volkswagen parts company Flat 4.

We want to thank Mr Komori thoroughly for all he did for the VW community. He was the man behind the first aftermarket BRM wheels, steeringwheels and many good old EMPI products. Off course they made many other parts as well, but the most impressive was Mr Komori’s private collection. with so many rare and desirable cars and parts man could easily drool for hours!

After 42 years we wish Mr Komori a well-earned retirement and may he stay active for many years. This picture was taken from Mr Komori and yours truly many many moons ago…:)

Thank you so much Mr Komori for all you did for the Volkswagen community, You’re one of our real Volkswagen heroes!!
