Volks'n'Roll 2009

This year, as every year we didn't miss the Volks'n'Roll meeting

I could take both the 'doka' with the puck caravan, and the 'duve'.
Good weather, awesome location, cool music, best company.
Some problems with the regulator made my trip a little troublesome.
Still better than the friend of mine who had to find a new alternator to replace the one he broke at the meeting...

feel the Nature? :-P

Porsche style fan hand polishing & new doka guest

Last night I polished the Porsche style fan from the type 4 engine of my Beetle.

This was the way it looked before polishing:

I began with 500 sandpaper on the lip:

Then 800 and 1200:

Then hand polished with Auto Glym metal polish:

After that, I had the center demounted and decolored by Fabio at Hot Heads Garage in Milan:

So I began also here with 500 sandpaper, then 800 and 1200:

And finally polished by hand. It's not perfect, but I like it!

This weekend I got back to Pistoia to see my nephew (he is only 2 weeks old!). Today it was a splendid day, cold but sunny, so I enjoyed the bed of my doka, soon Silvia reached me:

Then also my nephew enjoyed the bed, becoming the youngest VW fan in the family:

Sure the suspension will hold all this weight?
