This week Goods In kept on bursting from containers rolling in, and that’s good that way, every day more and more back orders got solved. To make sure about supply from first possible delivery make your reservations, as some items do really go very very fast… even in my eyes!

Brand new for this week is the Brake drum undrilled, (blank) so to drill to different wheel patterns your self (or we can do on special order)

Back in stock…. BBT production !! After we took over all luggage rack and other parts produced by Hein Senders we started to improve some of the products… we’re very proud to say we finished now in our new production the rear luggage racks, or how my buddy Hein always called them “imperiaals”…. we did 2 major improvements, first the Chrome, we do this in a real professional European company now, and the quality obviously shows off. Secondly we changed the wood, we use now French Oak, CNC machined and injection varnished, baked and finished, for an outstanding result! By far the best quality on the market! Two models to choose from…

4870-021 Rear chrome luggage rack Beetle Sedan with French Oak slats.

4870-026 Rear chrome luggage rack Beetle convertible with French Oak slats.

New BBT production….Finally good working relays at low prices; teaming up with a world leader sometimes result in a unbelievable combination… together we’re strong! 12 volt High beam relay’s now available Euro specs, at prices not seen for over a year now…

Francisco from Buenos Argentina and Ronnie from Sao Paolo Brasil where awaiting me on my return from Texas… it was great to meet You again guys… I hope You liked the visit….

Pretty informal, we did a freeky picture as well… for all of you to share… LOL…

Came back from Texas on the Monday around lunch to find two visitors awaiting me… busy times again, when can I catch up the pile of work on my desk?…:)

Here some extra Texas pics…. Sunday morning my buddy Rick thought it would be good to “submerge” me into some real Americana… a breakfast in the waffle house… should had taken some shots from the inside, I saw a lot of different food, eggs, toasts, bacon pancakes, actually everything…except Waffles… strange guys these Americans… try it one out your next trip to the States, a little fifties style Americana, jukebox included, and, oh yes, they “yell” your order to the kitchen…

After breakfast and checking out a couple of cars they where not ok to buy to Euro standards we met some more people for kind a “lunch-o-breakfast” we only had a coffee, but the conversation was so good, I will never ever forget… Southern mentality… I love You guys! This all happened in a I-hop ( international House of Pancakes) the speciality in the South? Chicken and Waffles… well, I don’t know about that…:)

Me, some old and some new friends, or should I say; me and my  brand new Texas family?

oeps, almost forgot the mandatory rental car pic… well everything’s big in Texas, so are the rentals… Chevy Tahoe, seven seater… I almost could life in that thing… the V8 performed real nice on the freeway.

so time to drive to airport and fly back home, Linda is awaiting for lunch….:)

Because of some railroad works in Holland after arrival in Schiphol I had to transfer trains in Amsterdam central station… I had a half an hour to kill so “peeped” outside and I saw this cool bike parking,…. on a boat… welcome to Holland…
