End of June 2017, I picked up my Westy in Spokane, WA - USA. I found it on the samba.com and drove with it all the way to San Francisco, CA in two days to get it shipped over to Germany to bring it back to perfect condition.

First tour of the Year 2017 with www.vwboxerteam.ch - drove in the countryside of Locarno on old small streets to discover the Old mill in Vergeletto. There they produce the farina bóna. This is a traditional product of the Valle Onsernone (Canton Ticino). It is a corn flour, obtained by the very fine grinding of roasted corn kernels.

ABOUT

If I remember the last 25 years back, what this hobby has made, I am sure that one special feature is to create a car according to your own ideas. This car is unique out there. The challenge is, that a beetle which in the original state had a maximum of 50 hp will transform into a car with 150 – 200 HP and very important also drive like one. This ends up taking uncountable hours, perseverance and focus on the target.
