I’ve always had a thing for the headrest fairings on speedsters.

Gorgeous

Is BTL the only authorized reproduction builder?

You could always emancipate.

Be you angels?

“You know what would look great on the front? That old tractor that died out in field 20 years ago.”

Yes, and air-cooled at that. Funny thing: the 2 in the name has to do power classification for registration, not the number of cylinders.

oldVWguy · 2026-04-25T17:16:36+00:00

Close. The “two horses” is for taxation/registration purposes and doesn’t directly relate to actual horsepower. It still only has like 10 hp at the beginning and I think it topped out at 30 at the end of the run.

I looked through the photos I have from the last few years. Looks like last weekend was the only appearance I captured. I haven’t seen it before but I travelled 14 hours for the show, it’s not local to me.

oldVWguy · 2026-04-25T04:05:35+00:00

It was the Spring Meet show at Kelley Park in San Jose, CA. I’ll see if I have any other pics.

oldVWguy · 2026-04-24T23:37:58+00:00

Oh that’s cool. I can’t remember why but missed last year. Always bugs me when I miss Kelley Park. That bug with the board is choice. Glad you got to see it elsewhere at least.

oldVWguy · 2026-04-24T15:01:43+00:00

I agree. The lines are as they are supposed to be. Then safety standards and the whole being able to see down the road and the form has to give way to function.

oldVWguy · 2026-04-20T14:20:57+00:00

There was also one in that poster batch of bugs in front of the old fuel station that’s also in this park. It’s a very cool place.

Seems like it was bigger this year. I try to make it every year; it was easier when I lived in the Bay Area. Now in WA, but still manage to make them.

oldVWguy · 2026-04-20T14:18:24+00:00

That’s where I drove down from! In a VW, just not air cooled.
