sunset in California… bye bye now, see You next time!

Bosch ignition points don’t hold anymore, they wash out in few miles (or kilometres) and are unable to keep up a correct adjustment… once You replace with quality BERU ign points your engine runs back like a kitten!  finally we have the BERU ign points available for the 1200 and 1500 engines too!

as a reference; all BBT cars drive exclusively on BERU ignition parts now!

Thanks to Bill Bowmann I was able to obtain a real tall VW used cars sign… the ultimate sign for the BBT building. but transport of this signs is absolutely NOT easy… fragile!!

Thanks to Tom and Bill the sign came to California (thanks guys!!) and I picked it up last weekend from Tom’s place to drive it to the port… huge undertaking!

Neighbour and VW fellow Rick Clark was all hands on helping, thanks Rick!!

Loading is one thing, strapping it up so it don’t break is another… this is plexi…..

 We strapped it up nicely….
Job done, Bob is happy boy! Hope the sign is happy too!

At the port I loaded the sign to a roofrack on one of the buses that’s coming over… so we ship it home… and it will be in our car building… come by in 2017 and see the magic sign that travelled the world!

Thanks to Shelley for the pictures!! Great job!!
