VW Beetle Art


What a great gift! One of my office team found this in an art gallery in Boulder, Colorado. It’s going to make a great addition to out office decor.
It uses a VW Beetle door – and the dog makes a great completion to the piece.

VW Buses – MidAmerica Motorworks Funfest 2011

Blue VW Truck - wood bed

After working with my VW Beetle sedan for over 5 years now, I am really started to be attracted to the VW buses. Specifically the safari bus. While the campers are alright in my book (and some of the campers at this years’ FunFest were amazing). I keep being drawn to the multi-window bus. and someday – maybe the 23-window bus….

The Classic Volkswagen bus:

MidAmerica Motorworks VW Funfest -June 4-5, 2011

We’re loading up the family and heading over to the MidAmerica Motorworks VW Funfest in Effingham, IL this weekend. It’s always a greast time top see mike and the gang and MidAmerica, and all of the great activities that they have lined up – it seems to get bigger every year.

This year, I plan on attending a few more clinics instead of simply ogling the resto’s and custom VW’s. The theme this year is the VW dune buggy, and Bruce Meyers is the guest of honor. I was honored to meet Bruce at the FunFest in 2008, which honored him and his work, and he even made a cameo appearance in front of a video i shot of one of his inspired Meyers-Manx dune buggies.

New additions to the Funfest that I plan on seeing – Burn-out pits and exhaust competitions. I may be in the market for a new exhaust, so this ought to be a lot of fun.
