Hello loungers,

Who will be there on Sunday 12th for the premiere of the European Bug-In teams movie on the gasser wars in the sixties and seventies?

The Wunderwaffe will there in full force. I'm sure DAS will be there, I heard DFL sends some ambassadors and DVK will join as well. Our beloved Uncle is probably crossing the channel as we speak and a certain brown car that speaks French is on the road. Who else will be representing?

Absolutely incredible work! I was spellbound from start to finish – one of the best pieces of movie editing I have seen and without doubt the best VW-related DVD ever made.

My sincere congratulations to everyone concerned with this project, and thank you to Mike, Freddy and Kobus for inviting me out to Brussels to view it.

And Kobus, thanks for the tour of Brussels in your Bug! Smiley

I can't remember that last image being in the film! Other than that, marvelous film, lots of incredible MOVING old cars  Shocked Such a welcome change to the stills in the Bible.

And the viewing was great as well, don't tell me no one made images except the Russel relieving himself (caption contest) one?

I must say... hearing all these kind words... Thanks Keith... without YOU (well... your Book) We would have never been here! I think that the Lounge wouldn't have existed, and EBI.. and the return of the Bug Ins in the USA... etc etc etc...

Keith we all owe you allot!   It was really our pleasure to have you as our guest in Brussels! Thanks!

From what I've heard, it was awesome!!

Credit goes To Mike for the great-great job. And after thanking all the others like Keith Sueme, I would especially like to say thanks to Kobus and Fastfred, because without the threesome from the EBI this film would never been made!!  Altough Mike did most of the hard work, like interviewing in Hawaii Smiley

I really can't pretend I'm any good with a camera. But here are some of the snapshots I 'have taken.

Here's the abundance of 70ties racing jackets and hairdo's!

Wunderwaffe Nicolas the Messiah in the company of the very writer of the Scripture himself.

And here's Mike, all nervous in front of the big white screen having to present his handywork.

And out front, some very nice cars overlooked by a very nice building in the center of Brussels. Even if my balls would have frozen off, I'm still a bit mad at myself I didn't take the 66 for a spin.

hey, your upper lip would have been warm!
it was very nice. i am very fortunate to have been there, and as it was a really, really great movie. i think everyone was in awe the whole movie. good job to all involved and especially Mike for indeed his unbelieveble effort (to go to Hawaii).
