Spotted anything topical out on the web that's of interest and orbits around Karmann Ghias? Then post a link in this thread and share it with your fellow enthusiasts. Any event or discussion that doesn't fit in existing threads (like the Ghia Shopping Guide, Essential guided, Ghia hunting, Ghia info on the web etc) can go here.

A little under the weather today so I binge watched his Ghia pan work YT channel. Some of the footage shows he really doesn't work much on Ghias but I have to give him some credit for getting in there and making it happen. I had never seen what needed to be done to replace floor pan halves so I learned something. Thanks for the link! _________________ The older I get... The faster I was... |

This is an awesome pic! I always love seeing architecture matched with cars. I like how the metal doors and screening share a similar color to the Ghia, I wonder which came first?

We’re loving the color matching of the industrial mesh frontage with the little VW Karmann Ghia that lives in the car port of this studio in Bruges, Belgium, created by BASIL Architecture. |

Both those Hagerty articles are great. Would like to know more about Luigi Segre… fascinating story, and such a tragically short life… |
