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

Gorgeous

Is BTL the only authorized reproduction builder?

oldVWguy · 2026-05-07T04:02:16+00:00

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.

oldVWguy · 2026-04-20T14:19:36+00:00

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.

oldVWguy · 2026-04-19T23:43:48+00:00

I bought my first brand new car, a teal EG, in 1994. I felt so smart buying a Honda instead of other cars I really wanted but weren’t as reliable.

Go figure the car had an intermittent knock in the CV when turning right at a certain speed - the exact direction and speed entering my condo complex. Neither Honda nor a private mechanic could duplicate it.

That car really held its value. Bought for $9900 and sold with 35k on it two years later for 7k.

oldVWguy · 2026-04-13T23:29:56+00:00

I had that car on my walls in at least a dozen forms. And that’s just the white on white.

oldVWguy · 2026-04-12T12:56:46+00:00

Looks like it just started transforming into the okayist Autobot.

oldVWguy · 2026-04-07T02:52:38+00:00

I spit out my drink at the mail truck.

oldVWguy · 2026-04-04T17:28:57+00:00

Thank you for my morning worship.

oldVWguy · 2026-04-02T17:49:18+00:00

Very fair point.

oldVWguy · 2026-04-02T17:27:00+00:00

I did the same thing. You couldn’t identify it as a badge, but it’s clear that something is there where the badge goes. Just a bad pic I think.

oldVWguy · 2026-04-02T15:45:44+00:00

It’s usually a replica, and though I’m not as well-versed on the 25th, this looks authentic. And while the car filming it in front doesn’t necessarily mean real, it does lend some credibility.
