What a wonderful world we’re living in, do we realize that enough?

It’s crazy, cars are driving, food is growing, the sun comes up, and if we don’t see it, we just jump on a plane and fly to a destination where there’s always sun. Everybody stops at stop signs or traffic lights, we all have a house, and if you work hard enough you even have time to travel with the family and/or have crazy hobbies like collecting cars.

Do we really realize what we have?

If we jump out of bed and switch on the light in the morning, do we realize how many people and what kind of organisation is behind the electricity 24hrs a day to make that work? Or do we think it’s just “normal”…

Maybe we have to realize more that the small “normal” things in life, aren’t  that normal  at all. Maybe we just are  too much used to it and are too spoiled to realize how special they are… and collecting cars is special too. Who could have imagined the classic car world today a mere 50 years ago? Working in our hobbies, that’s more as fun to do… that just tells us how lucky we are!

Something to realize every morning, before we switch on that light….

This week we have a couple of small things that came in and got part numbers, real necessary parts to finish that car.

Finally we decided to  run also the Speedometer cable for split window bugs.

This cable is quite a lot longer as the later models, because with a split the speedometer is central in the dashboard.

Readily available from our shelves now!

2699-000 Speedometer cable – Beetle -09/52 TQ

Besides the door wedges themselves BBT 0438-31 and the correct screws for the door wedges BBT 0438-315 we also have  the sleeves for the door wedges available  for the real early cars.

Many times these sleeves are missing, which results in poor mounting, lack of tightening or just runs the screws through the door wedges.

We sell these sleeves per pair

0438-316 Sleeve door center wedge – Beetle -01/53 – Bus -12/63 (pair)

We used to use this product to complete our VW logo’s back in the day, till Volkswagen halted that.

Now out of popular demand we bring these clips in our program by their own.

The correct clip to mount the big VW logo on the front of your splitty bus!

We  sell them each, you need 4 to attach the logo completely.

Bad Camberg, Mother of all vintage Volkswagen meeting, once every four years. After the last edition in 2015, it’s back this year for the die-hard vintage Volkswagen enthusiasts.

Upcoming June 21^st-23^rd hundreds of Volkswagens will visit the city of Bad Camberg in Germany, meeting people with the same interest or getting their hands dug in the parts market. But the it’s the collection of the most beautiful and rarest Volkswagens that will make your heart beat faster…

And as usual, BBT will be joining in on the fun.

On the 20^th of June from 15:00 to 21:00 we will hold our well know Open House and everyone is invited! View the BBT Volkswagen collection with this year the grand opening of “Bob’s Garage”, one of the largest spare parts warehouses in the scene. Or take a tour behind the scenes of BBT. Belgian Beer and Belgian fries accompanied by a DJ samba bus. What more do you need? Make sure you’re there!

Friday morning after breakfast, at 09:00 sharp, we leave in convoy in the direction of Germany. The roadbook and highly desired participators badge will be handed out at the BBT stand once registered here below!

Registration is only for the BBT convoy. For registration and overnight in Bad Camberg, please contact the organizer of the meeting.

We look forward to meeting you on the 20^th and 21^st of June, hopefully creating a larger convoy than Hessisch Oldendorf 2017 when we had over 250 participating vehicles. This year the convoy drives along the banks of the Rhine, giving you some magnificent views.

Join us and enjoy the ride in your old Volkswagen!
