Saw some nice sunflowers on my way to work yesterday and thought they might make a nice picture with my 1983 Mexican Beetle (special edition "Special Bug").

Back from a couple weeks of business travel I gave both these Kozin's a deep cleaning bath. The '02 Boxster usually spends most of its time garaged in Manhattan. Only a good weather car. But with no rain in site I switched the Beetle with it. At least for the next week or two.
Both running strong, well and a pleasure to drive.
Sometimes I catch myself looking for that 5th gear in the Super Beetle which as we all know does not exist, ha. |

Actually, it does (tho not by VW). Gene Berg's is generally consider'd best:

It wasn't today, but last week, drove to Florida to see my paralyzed sister. 699 miles to FL (in one day) and 725 miles coming home (in one day) . Saw Steve Boatwright in Brunswick to thank him for fixing the car on the last trip. It's running great.

Nice! I've done a similar trip at least 8 times in my '73 Super, from Arlington to Miami. I've quit doing it in the summer though, the heat is just too much. |

Drove it to the Southington Drive-in Car show (Southington, Connecticut) a few days ago.

Yesterday, cruised to the VW Nationals in Hagerstown, MD.
Aside from the drag races, there were some amazing cars, including this incredibly restored 1949 standard. Mind-blowing

We made a nice and sunny excursion with friends and Beetles to the historic city of Schwäbisch Hall in Southern Germany.

Excellent photo! That could be for a VW factory calendar, except for the modern "EU" license plate style.
Did your group stay on secondary roads (Landstrassen), or partly on the Autobahn? |

| Thanks! In our little parade, we stayed on secondary roads; but the way to our first meeting point was individual. |

Hi, I took my 1984 Velvet Red Beetle and showed my beloved Bodensee area to two friends of mine. We had four impressive days on tour with the Beetle.
