The steel birds took me all the way to the USA West Coast to start a quite hectic journey through several states and city’s, a lot of driving and a load of appointments with real nice people, through the BBT blog I will try to keep you updated what I’m doing so I can assure I’m not laying under the Palm trees with a frozen Margarita….

Those crazy Californian freeways……………..

First stop Rancho transaxles, here is where our transmissions are build, cool ride in front it of it huh? Inside its a real transmission thing, they’re simply everywhere… Very clean assembling boots, Rancho is the worlds number one in VW transmissions, we’re proud that only a handful distributors is chosen, BBT is one of them…. one of the guys assembling a transmission… Transmission parts????? and more transmission parts….disassembling area… Next stop was my buddy @ Eddy and Dave’s Garage, after Dave passed away in a car accident earlier this year Eddy is mainly a one man show, but still proud to be a BBT distributor! when You need something VW in orange county, Eddy for sure can help you!The shop is extreme cool, with loads of goodies…
