Hmm what else? well the biggest classic VW show in Sweden. Bug Run Classic moved from Mantorp park witch is a 5-6hour ride away in a old beetle to Tierp Arena witch is a 30minute ride from where i live. 4 years ago, and from that moment i just wanted my own beetle again and drive to the show. Well this summer it happend.

Went there on Friday morning and sleept in the car that night and was the first one att the car wash area on Saturday morning =)

Rat Fink Reunion 2014

Well me and my buddy Jonas took a roadtrip 3 weeks ago to visit the Rat fink event and later continue to a town 1,5hours away from that event to go to the VW aircooled event Bad Camber. i have been bitching all summer that i don´t want to take my bug for long rides before the Bug Run Classic event because i didn´t want something to happen to the engine before that event, and my bug has been drinking 10Liters of oil since i brought it out this summer =) so i was in the passanger seat of Jonas Turbo VW variant, same as the year before haha.

here is some shots from the uuuuuuuuultra warm saturday at Rat Fink Reunion.
