Georgy’s bug is now sleeping on his new garage place in Vienna!
Herbie No. II and Flo’s ‘66 went for a ride, with two trailers in tow, the other day. They picked up a completely disassembled VW Bug from 1984 and a moped, which they got from various auctions. Domi bought the old Beetle just because he needs its engine. We’ll have Read more…

Matthias is a trained electronics engineer, so Friedrich had the idea to copy the memory of a modified control unit (erasable programmable read only memory – EPROM) to save money, because an empty EPROM costs about 2€ and a modified chip from a shop up to 150€. So Matthias tried Read more…
A custom made lettering for Flo’s VW 1303S with injection engine. Happy Birthday! Get it at Georgy’s place! 😉
Flo and Chris visited last Sunday a garage vacation in Vienna. There were all over the years collected vehicles for sale. Many of the cars were rusty but there were also some fine oldtimer. A pity that no car was that what Flo and Chris are searching for, but it Read more…
Georgy is working on it every time to keep it up to date. Stay tuned!
Today Flo was on his way home from Friedrich’s workshop as a shitty Peugeot destroyed the rear fender of Flo’s ’66 Bug. 🙁 Friedrich would say: “Herr schütz’ uns vor Sturm und Wind, und Autos die aus Frankreich sind” which means: “Lord protect us from storm and wind and cars Read more…
An Austrian website which is maybe a little bit inspired by our blog. 😉 Air-cool guys!“LoveBugFans.com has been established to foster camaraderie among fans of Disney’s “Herbie the Love Bug” films, act as a resource for owners of original and replica Herbies, and support the Herbie character through the exchange Read more…
The following pictures are showing VW Bugs Domi owned in the past and he has sold for different reasons. My first car after I got my driving license: A black VW Bug 1200L (34 hp) from the early 1980ies built in Mexico. My second Beetle: A 1200L in mars red Read more…

Finally something new to report of the BIG project. The complete interior, except functional parts like the steering wheel, dashboard and hand brake, has been already removed. And today we dismounted the engine – who needs a garage and a car lift anyway??? Due to serious storage problems, we had Read more…
Flo, Flow, Mario, Markus Gustl and Friends were on the Frequency Festival in Sankt Pölten, the capital of lower austria. It was a great event with great bands. Flo was even in the newspaper. 😉

Unsern täglichen Bleiersatz gib uns heute,und vergib uns Read more…
At the end of may Christian went on a business trip to mexico, last weekend he came back to austria – with headlights, taillights … and especially sombreros, ponchos and tequila! At the same day we made a short trip to Angern a. d. March near the czech boarder.
Mario, Markus, Flow and Gustl are on a camping trip at the dam lake in Völkermarkt.
Spät aber doch ein Überblick über die Vielfalt der luftgekühlten Verkehrsteilnehmer in Mexiko. Bitte die Qualität einiger Fotos zu entschuldigen, aber nicht alle Fahrzeuge waren leicht zu fotografieren, bzw. manche konnte ich leider gar nicht bildlich festhalten. Fangen wir bei dem berühmtesten Vertreter an, dem “Vocho” (gesprochen [botscho]), wie der Read more…
