Recovered from festivities? I hope so, here you get part 4 and before last part of the JVWF 2013

Part 4 is showing what was going on in the outside parking lots, weather was supertastic…. A little Hot heated us nicely up in the winter months!

The new Dodge VW, did you not heard yet?… We thought it was a cool ride….

Beautiful Crew cab made from a Brazilian bus, I like the crew cab corner windows…

Real custom?

Cool white, little refreshing in the hot sun….

If they have rust? Yes they do, especially the Brazilian buses have quiet a lot of it….  although this was a German made bay…

As said, build quality is really extreme, and fantasy and dedication unseen, no place…

What’s nicer as a really nice crew cab? I love it….

Oh yes, Hot Wheels too…

Local waste transport car… really, unbelievable, Indonesia has not really a waste management, its here and everywhere…. pretty special…

Local people are so multi friendly, unbelievable!

Ready to Rock and roll, or …. going to the temple?

Old bike, old beetle, thought this was a cool picture…

Or do you prefer a Bling Bling Safari?

This bus was donated once by the Belgian government in a humanity program, nice to see it still survive and is real good taken care for….

Buses everywhere… not a small event by any means…

Nicolas by the car of the Minister for Sports and Youth, no, he didn’t offer me  his license plate…

Camera time again, my footage to the committee …. yes I had to work hard…

Cool bike huh? Hand made, unbelievable! Every dimension was about right!

Four wheel drive split REPLICA! Made from a Brazilian bus and the frame, axles and engine from a Daihatsu Rocky, this will bring you about EVERYWHERE!

Another rod…

Or do you prefer a safari (or thing) dressed up for the Jungle? All and everything is here and can be seen, really really unbelievable!

Oh yes, we do like cool early bay’s!

This guard protected the building and everything inside… not an easy guy at first glance, thanks God he’s from stone….

High ride? or Herbie? You can have both at the same time… pretty impressive and again, nicely made….

OK enough for today… It leaves me more then enough pictures for the last part of this amazing trip tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Happy New Year!!!

May all of your wish for 2014 may come through, may we all find that extra long awaited Barn Find, but before all enjoy the cars we have!

We at BBT  will do our out most best for doing even more our best, tilt our service till the next level and find better parts, optimize our stocks for better deliveries, and continue to work on our quality as never before!

As some reading food we give You hereby for the third day in a row the complete JVWF 2013 report.

Part three of the fun at JVWF 2013, there is no end to the  VW fun here!

Ever saw a beetle painted with all kind of very rare stamps?

This is the car from the President of Volkswagen Indonesia, he’s also President from the Philatelist union of Indonesia, this car is two in one for him…

Food stall, all food served came out of the Bay window, I was pretty impressed with the menu, wide choice of food available…

Racing is being taken serious as well, “El Gato” was a really nice build race car, wowh!

Kubelwagen, yammie, but pretty special, this is hand made replica, with a nice surprise….

… right hand drive!!!!

Cool bus, and the style a real rat should be…

Jack can be proud…

Cheap seats you get right behind a serious Derby at a modern football or soccer arena…

Still every time I came across this art work I saw more and more detail, so nice, so special, 5 where made, all been sold!

It reflected the colors from the big JVWF 2013 very nicely, like it changed every 30 seconds from color….

Nice bus huh, You love it? its a reproduction split, made from a Brazilian Bay window, crazy but through, in Indonesia everything is possible… mainly making 15 windows, our friend Yumos made a camper replica this time, crazy nice!

Another Yogyakarta based company called “Extreme”, very highly specialized in concept and prototype cars, they make really weird creation as for promotion and the like, now I start to know where Hot Wheels gets inspiration…:)

They also working on a steel Ghia convertible, hand made of course, as everything over here, Made in China is absolutely no popular over here!

Swap meet entry with first boot from Terror Garage and BBT! The booth was a little short time to make something nice, but we promised the organizers next time will be massive!

Ah! lunch was served, back to the reproduction split camper for dining, the bus eats like she looks, this means perfect!

Yes off course they sell stickers, all so cheap all reproduction stickers! unbelievable, and very creative….:)

Hand made mini bikes….

Yes the indoor show was massive! wowh! but there’s outside too!

Enough for today, before all blog computers explode…

Tomorrow more of the goodies!

I had to sign the door prize give a way Bay window High roof with all the other prominent guests, where under the minister of Sports and Youth, president of Volkswagen Indonesia federation and so many more… JVWF is the most important VW festival in Indonesia…

Hey BBT Ann and Ingrid on BIG screen in Indonesia!

Tech talk and talk shows, BBT Alain gave a panel talk about reproducing parts, why, what we look for, BBT philosophy and so on, first time on main stage, and despite a not so good sound system set up, he was doing extremely well!

Next was the turn for  yours truly to have a main stage panel talk about car collecting, reproduction cars and more…

…. and then came the big surprise for me… the committee didn’t forget about my Birthday this day, and offered me a real Birthday cake, on the main stage! I was blown of my socks, couldn’t even speak for a while… all on main stage!

Yep 49 years, a Birthday to remember!

They even printed my picture on the cake, (so they couldn’t miss who to give it too, Lol!)

One surprise to the next, my loooong time Indonesian VW friend Harry Renkung! What good to meet back, we didn’t see each other for over 10 years!

To come back to reality we start walking again… some nice custom tricks brought our hearts back to normal peace…

RestoCal rules!

Red was always cool for a beetle….

And another ride with BBT GT sprintstars, Indonesia is the only country with more steel sprints as repro aluminum… who has style????

Another blow away  RestoCal….. I really had many times problems staying cool! what a show!

Three in a row, all so beautiful, choosing favorite pic very difficult….
