Probably the best BRC yet for me, because i got to spend the whole week there for the first time. Cause now i got my own tent trailer to sleep in, last year i slept in the backseat of La Cholita and that sucked hard.
Me and the boys from my town had a great little camp.

as usual i was filming the whole event, and a movie is coming up.
but you can find a bunch of photos in my gallery HERE
Well last couple of months has been busy to say the least.
Well let’s start with the end of the summer.
Over the summer i made a lot of Coffee runs to my favorite coffee shop.
Hanging out with the other VW heads in town.
And i had only one minor problem with the car all summer, a cord in the distributor broke and i go tow it to my sisters house with her boyfriends help. Couse they lived closest to where it broke down.
It stood outside in the rain for 3 days and then with help from my buddy Charlie we loaded it up and took it to my garage, and with help from my buddy Mikael we fixed the problem.
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 =)
Hmm what else?
I have been thinking i should by some polished “Fuchs” but i would like to see how the fit first, couse i have a stock wide front beam, i borrowed a set of detailed “Fuchs” from my body Tony with the right hight on the tires, looks damn good but i will keep the steelies on this summer.
So what have been doing since the snow came, well fixing the stuff that didn’t got done in time for last summer, like the footsteps, look at the old pictures and you see that they look like shit and the bends of and they wasn’t lineing up with the fenders correctly. now thats fixed but i need new chrome for them.
And then it was the stereo stuff.
It looked like shit under the hood so now thats taken care of, I had a pioneer P88RS head unit but i was missing the bluetooth connection. So almost 2 month ago i finaly got a job so for this Christmas i
bought my self a Christmas gift =)
This.
Haven’t played with it mutch yet.
And i wanted some new woofers so 21 years ago i bought my first Rockford Fosgate woofer when i was 14 years old, and it’s was time again.
Gonna build a new box for them in a week or 3 =)
And with help of my buddys Markus and Anton we made some better looking copys of the Empi/Vw bumper bars this past weekend.
And to top the last summer of, this happend =)
You can now order a T-shirt or a Sweatshirt with my ride on it.
head over to http://www.slammedshop.com/ and look under the ride and pride collection 🙂
Well thats all for now.
I will try to post more stuff from now on.

Well FINALY i get to show you the Bug Run Classic movie that me and my buddy Alexander did.
I have 5 Month to get my 61 beetle “done” to BRC 2013, i sure hope i make it.
To tired right now to write something, this post will be uppdated a couple of times in the next couple of days, it´s 3 a clock at nite and i need to sleep, but here is the first photos.
*Update* Well it´s about 25 hours since i wrote this post, just finnished another 44 photos, i thought i had more but i was there to make a movie so i guess this will have to do.
Well it was an awesome weekend, mutch more people and cars then last year, and mutch more that was camping at the event. The main event is on Saturday but you can camp there from Friday to Sunday, i was suppose to camp but it didn’t happen this year, but next year for sure.
If you think “Hey! there is a lot of pictures of that Herbie racecar” well i have waited 2-3 years to see Andreas Ã…berg rip some rubber on the track with that natural aspirated beast. He got a new personal best of 10,1** and it’s the first run in the movie, the second one is 10,3** something. Hope you get a 9.** before the summer is over Andreas.
I’m making the official movie for Bug Run Classic this year to, Along with my buddy Alexander Ã…berg so in a couple of weeks it should be done. Until then enjoy the pictures.
