Spoiled Brats

When you were rich in the eighties, and you didn't have time or desire to look after your kids, you just overloaded them with gifts, so they would at least feel like they were loved. In no time you couldn't amaze them with any toy, so the only option, buy them a scaled Porsche. Years later, some of us still long to feel like spoiled brats and would love to own one of these. Kobus, go for it !

Only 100 of these 1978 Porsche 936 halfscale replicas were built, this is number 85. You ordered one of these straigth out of the Porsche dealership, it has genuine Porsche paperwork, so you could actually make it road legal. With a massive 6 horse engine and a two speed gearbox, it was good for a top speed of 70 km/h. Zero to topspeed times are not mentioned, I'm guessing that will have a lot to do with the weight of the driver. Imagine a fullgrown ponytailed Porsche afficionado behind the wheel opposed to a nine year old skinny kid.

the Club 1500

Some of us lovers of the third kind are strongly opposed to lowering and other cool alterations. Instead they proclaim to keep their cars in their standard ways, as the factory meant them to be, outing them in Vintage Ralleyes of all sorts...

Well this is what happens next ! Ffred, be warned.

Skrot !

I can't remember where I snagged this one, but it was from some Swedish website I guess. The back looks familiar to me. I hope the front never will !

Super Svensk

Now, as you've all come to expect from me, I bring to you the ugliest in aircooled VW's. Well ugly for you maybe, because I am pretty fond of them myself. I have to admit this über-Svensk one is a bit over the top, but underneath it's pimped exterior still hides what could be described as the ultimate aircooled bus.

But still, I decided to sell mine. It's going to the owner of the special armed forces roofrack on this picture, built of aluminium with a ladder, should have been for mounting a big ass antenna. But it is staying in the family in a way, so I'll drive her once in a while for old times sakes, and try not to trash it even more.

But then again, I'm so fond of them that once again I might be getting another one myself. Out of good old Sverige, land of infinite treasure, comes this aircooled Pickis in superb condition. I might be jumping the gun as there is a flying Dutchman who has first choice on this one. But I could get lucky as he hasn't contacted the seller in months now, so...
Will it make it even further south to Belgium? I hope so as I have big plans for this 2 litered beast.

Square ? Or is it oh so cool !

This one is just to nice to keep a secret from you. A 69 squareback with Pigalle interior, and loaded with great accesories. How about the spidermags and hoodscoops. And do try to notice the chrome trim on the airintake.

But the fatal attraction is definately the red interior. Now, connecenti say that 69 never had a Pigalle interior, so it should be fitted by one of its previous owners, but still. Just look at the red steering wheel, don't you just love it. Also, I spy with my little eye, an original Type 3 tacho and a speedometer with tripmeter.

When I keep looking at these pictures, I go red allover. And knowing it is for sale in the land of immaculate Bubblas doesn't help a bit. Håkan mailed me it drives like a charm and my girl would swap her notch for it, but... If you like it though, let me know and I'll patch you trough.

VW Väner lake race tour

While the Midnattssolsrallyt for rich ponces was coming to an end on July first, the Meanbugs had their first Väner lake race tour. It looked almost as much fun as the DVF Bugtour, only difference is, Sweden is so much nicer than dready Belgium, even when the sun is shining.

Looks like they had quite a bunch of visitors for a first time out. And even more cars to be seen on the meanbugs site.

And this would be your typical Meanbugs-Member. Attired in authentic Swedish wear. She should have been driving an Oval though, instead of this dented and primered eartagged bubbla.

And to finnish of a perfect, but hard day driving around the pond, they presented the rallydrivers with some soft easylistening project called : "the Generals". Instant relaxation!

King of the hill

Back in 1967 ScaniaVabis, the Swedish VW dealer, had sold over half a million bubblas. And they were boasting that every VW still had the same quality and trustworthiness over it as the first bubbla imported, yet was so much improved, as for example with the four bolt wheels. The nice logo down under commemorates this, this would make a nice rearwindow sticker for your '67 1500 we will be looking for in Sverige, won't it Baron Messie.

Porsches are for winners

These and a lot more are for sale at a Swedish Porschedealer. They are nothing but nyprints but still if it is only to spice up your otherwise boring livingroom, replacing the familyportraits, why not buy them. It's only 90 SEK a piece.
