In the Black forest in Germany there is a “Straw” sculpture festival…

A Straw beetle is exposed!

Pretty cool huh?

If you’re in the area, definitely worth a visit!

Summer blues, summer heat, summer revival… if this is not a “real” summer for Western Europe they will have to give that word another definition… a week ahead forecast gives rain, cloudy or winds, but once we got there we had sunshine every day…  Sunshine makes people happy. Not only because it gives you a vitamin D boost but just because it’s light, and that’s exactly what we need for many things… So hopefully we continue the way we’re going with the weather for another two or three months and people will stay more happy and gives the un a reason to shine!

Also at BBT we’re shining, with a couple of cool new products….

First for the T25/T3 Vanagon lovers today…. let us present you the rubber gas filler neck holder and the ring to hold that rubber in to your body…

The only way for a proper installation of your gas filler neck.

It’s all year of T25/T3 vanagon production from august 1979 all the way up to July 1992.

Furthermore we’ve added this week the missing clutch return spring in the BBT parts range.

This is the spring for the early beetles and buses with the so-called “Split Case” transmissions.

Made 100% as original in the right component spring steel this is a product that can be considered as an original product, very well-tested and approved!
