OK, So you must have already seen this video.. but if not turn the volume way up. Listen to the engine, transmission and the tires screeching. This video shows an eight-minute drive through Paris in the early hours of the morning. The film is one shot, no cuts. The driver ran 18 red lights, drives on the sidewalk and runs over a few pigeons. The film maker was Claude Lelouch. He said he was not the driver, but it has been speculated he was. Anyway sit back and enjoy!

Check the second part of the shipment from Hungary.. This very nice Kienzle 8 Day clock. Thanks Tomi! I wound it, set the time and it ran perfectly as well as keeping very good time. Now I need to talk myself into cutting a hole in my glove box door… hmm, I think I’ll buy and extra door and get it painted to match, that way if I change my mind, and I will at some point I can just change out the door. I had never noticed before, but this clock has glow in the dark markers on the hands and the hours.. Those Germans!

Hey, Check this out. I got my cars “birth certificate” in 1 month. That is pretty quick. I was thinking it would take months. Anyway, lots of great info in there.. Anybody know what M-50 is? Also I’m going to guess the car colour was silver or blue since the car was ordered with red leatherette.. what do you think?

**** This just in. M-050 is - Dual circuit brake warning light ****

So I’m putting this 1958 convertible beetle on the block. I threw it on the local ACVW site and got a lot of interest. I’m looking to trade for a good running 36hp motor or plain ole’ cash so I can get the 36er I have started. Anyway, a little sad to see it go, but honestly its a bit new (like not pre 57) and I’m not going to get to it any time soon. So, hopefully it will be bought and can get back on the road. I don’t think it has been on the road for over 20 years. ##SOLD##

OK, so I’m visiting 1 of the 2 local places to buy beer on my island and something grabs my attention.. keep in mind the selection here isn’t the greatest.. lots of Budweiser, Coors, Labbats50, dog piss. Anyway, out of the corner of my eye I spot something. It seems the Belgians (is that the correct way to say it??) have been busy. They put together a nice little mix of beer. So I plunk down my $30 and now I’m ready to tackle the afternoon. Ah. beer. So I’ve got the following on my list (in any order):

Beer
Authentic Mexican food
Old VWs
Beer
Philippines

OK, so I also have a bit of a soft spot for hot rods.. not the fancy over done 20 inch wheel ones, just the old school, dirty ones..
