A big tall strong and friendly guy, that’s how many of us will remind Chris, owner of Small car Specialities, US Autobarn, the largest VW junk yard on planet earth and father of a lovely family!
Chris lost his last and unfair fight, and must be in a better place now, but still for those who knew him closely this is still unbelievable!
Only a month ago I visited Chris in his house in Arizona, so unreal to realise he’s no longer with us anymore…
Chris’ junkyard many moons ago…:)
Long time past…. but Chris was always working, he loved so much what he did …
We, @ BBT, like to present our deepest condolences to Chris’ his family, especially to his wife and his three beautiful children!
Chris, You’re in VW heroe heaven, a status only few deserve, but you deserve with pride, we will always remember you buddy…
The Karmann Factory don’t exist anymore, but BBT friend Eric found this cool picture and shared with all of us!
Eric and I both wonder where that sign is!
BBT wish You a very relax sunday!!
Ready for Christmas and holidays?

When two metal parts are running over each other, you will always have some metal microparts (metal filings) coming loose. In transmissions, it’s that little left over filings that get absorbed in the oil… Well, this magnetic drain plug will get those micro-metal parts out of your oil and hold onto it for you until your next oil change! I don’t think we have to tell you this is in direct line with the life span of your transmission? Prolong life of your tranny for very little cost!!
