Stay off the Volkswagen currywurst!
VW currywurst (VW # 199 398 500A) is the best sold VW part in history, better than beetle, golf or polo!

A sausage made in the house butchery at the Volkswagen Wolfsburg factory it is (was) the absolute numero 1 served lunch for all VW workers
But the currywurst was also sold to the public and offered by several supermarket chains.

But… direction of the VW factories decided now to build off production in favor of more vegetarian meals instead.
This gave the whole week red hot discussion in German press and social media.

Even high ranked politicians tweeted in favor of the currywurst as a real power break for hard working factory people.
You can’t take away the currywurst from VW people, leaving in the middle it’s more or less healthy as vegetarian food.

What we don’t take away from you is our News, we’re here to stay.
Let us spoil you with our weekly product information.

This is how a chassis looks fresh out of a BBT chassis assembly jig.
A perfect way to start a perfect restoration.

When we’re honest to ourselves patching up half way rusted chassis beams is probably not the way to go.
Already available in several European countries by our chassis partners and more to come.

BBT News team wishes you a very well relaxing weekend and think about it, safe that VW currywurst!

Tom N friend of da Houze for ever won last Sunday 1st in class “commercial” @ the Pasadera concourse.

Tom brought out this crazy combo of his immaculate restored 1960 Panelvan.

For the occasion he hooked up the totally restored (for this purpose) early 60’s race car trailer from Ray S and the absolutely real unrestored ex works Porsche 550A.

The incredible 550A was “on loan” from our other friend Tommy T.

Anyway the crazy combo didn’t pass unseen for public or jury and was awarded 1st in class for commercial vehicles.

The Pasadera Concourse is the kick off for the California car week with apocalypse the Pebble Beach Concourse d ‘Elegance on Sunday August 15.

And this picture that started it all, a gift from our late (and heavily missed) friend Brian H, the image burned a hole in Tom N’s retina and stayed there forever.

Tom simply recreated the picture and showed it off, beautiful!

Congratulations Tom, this is a perfect merge between fanatsy, visuality and reality!

You did it!

David from Sand Lake NY bought our 1942 Kubelwagen in 2018.

Freshly finished he send us these pictures….

What a cool ride!! Congratulations David!! Nice job!!
