It’s Not Over Yet

We spent another day at the repair shop. Our “mechanic” came up with two used regulators from Barranquilla but both of them were not working. We immediately ordered a brand new one from Bogota, the capital of Colombia. Tomorrow afternoon we’ll hopefully receive the new regulator. Additionally there is still Read more…

Never Ending Story

It seems to get a never ending story. We already spent one week going through a lot of nerve-wracking times. But there is hope in sight, because the automotive electrician who has been trying to fix all damages in cooperation with Domi, told us, that he’ll receive a new regulator Read more…

Rage Against The Water Machine

People like Andreas Schülein from Sugenheim, Germany, write about about our journey of “34 Ponys around the Globe”. Andi found us on the internet and got in touch with us.

Monday, Monday

After so many delays of the vessel we were so happy to see Herbie, our No. 53, again! But since that we’re going through a martyrdom. Domi had to take dynamo out of the engine two times. Finally we got it fixed but there is still one thing missing – Read more…

High Voltage!

It’s getting really frustrating! Herbie is not fixed yet because there is still one part missing. Everything was perfect until our Love Bug got on his vessel heading South. Today Domi installed again all “repaired” parts and it seemed to be working but the regulator we bought was obviously broken Read more…

Why hurt Herbie?

As we told you before, an unknown person hurt Herbie a lot, while he was on his ship going from Veracruz, Mexico, to Cartagena of the Indies in Colombia. That person not only broke his lid lock, he also tried to open the front hood, turned on the windshield wipers, Read more…

Hope is the Last to Die

Today we went together to the port again where we parked Herbie yesterday after we found out that somebody on the ship caused a fatal electric problem. That person turned on the ignition, the windshield wipers and the interior light and left Herbie simply alone – on his cruise across Read more…

Herbie’s Nightmare

We woke up very early today, because Domi had to get to the appointment with a custom executive for getting the vehicle inspected. There he was, Herbie our Love Bug! Domi spent three hours with Herbie waiting for the inspector but he didn’t show up. So it was time for Read more…

A Red Tape Odyssey

This was an exhausting day for us! And sadly we have to wait at least one more day to obtain Herbie who is still sitting at the sea port and whom we haven’t seen yet. In the morning we took a taxi to our shipping agency in order to get Read more…

Happy Valentine’s Day!

We hope all of you had a happy Valentine’s day. In Cartagena two guys were giving free hugs and kisses. Their signs were written in English so we guess it was just meant for people who are able to read and understand this language. For us it is just a Read more…

Roll-On / Roll-Off

There are different types of shipping a vehicle. The most common ones are by container, “LoLo” (Lift-On/Lift-Off) and “RoRo” (Roll-On/Roll-Off). This time we’re shipping Herbie via “RoRo” from Veracruz to Cartagena – across the Golf of Mexico and the Caribbean. There are always pros and cons regarding the various types. Read more…

Changing the rear end of Flo’s 1303S #3

Yesterday we began to adapt the 1600i rear end to Flo’s bug. Flo could not belive that it will fit as good as it does already. 🙂 Flo had also cleaned the frame with the steam jet. It was sooo cold “playing” with water oudside!

Separation of Flo’s rusty bug

Today Flo and Friedrich detached the chassis from the frame. Next they will remove the sillboards. The original frame of the orange bug was in such a bad condition that we had to demound some sheets. We also had to remove the co-drivers side of the frame because it was Read more…

The Última Edición

The Volkswagen Bug was introduced to Mexicans in 1954. At that time four VW Beetles were shipped to Veracruz. The first Bug “Hecho en Mexico” was assembled in 1961. In 1971 more than 200,000 units were produced and the exports to Europe and Costa Rica began. Just nine years later, Read more…
