For Belgian VW dealerships last Thursday was very important.  New beetle night was the name of the game for most of them to launch the New new Beetle, most dealerships choose the “Herbie” version, hmmm cool! No! I didn’t order one, because I have no need… but several dealerships asked me for some “help”, so we had several from our Split window beetles up and running the show, moviestars! Old against new, age before beauty? or did Beauty aged well?

Picture credit for Mark, @ Garage Thuy in Antwerp, just one of several we helped out, but Mark emailed me the pictures, what makes a difference… cool dealership Mark, wowh! and nice website too…. http://www.garagethuy.be/
