Title: Today in the (parfois) sunny Nor-Wal ...
Post by: Wünderwolff on June 19, 2010, 21:38:56 pm
Today it was open day at Pat's in the sometimes sunny Nivelles, north of Wallifornia. Some Wunderwaffe, more nice cars, free drinks and free food and a hole lot of friendly DAS people. Good times.

Hot race cars inside

They even fired the Dyno up, man, did Pat's grandmother not like the sound of that!

A very large garage for sure, more than room enough to display some fine custom bodies.

I don't like kit cars but the 550 has to be the exception that enforces the rule  ;D Awesome.

Yes... what a gorgeous car. I agree with Tero. Normally I don't care for most VW kit cars that I see, that that one is a great exception.

it's the first time i see those one , are they rare ??? or only export model ???

I'm almost positive that only the export models got those, Fabian. Although the larger rectangular ones were more common on the '70 & '71 Karmann Ghia bodies.

NICE! Love the photos, Madfrog... you're right about the cars. Simply gorgeous. Really dig the earth tone convertible, the Brasilia, and the Fastback.
