I want to say a big thanks to the Grundmanns and their team for the biggest, nicest event that took place.



X 2!!! :d

I just got home a few hours ago & want to say that HO was just an amazing show, it has to be one of the best. The VW38 inside the church was a masterstroke- although I have to say it felt kind of weird looking at a VW sitting in the middle of a church! And the Heb line-up outside the church was incredible, I don't know how many there were in the end, maybe 20 or so? Can anyone confirm the final Heb count? And one street crammed full of split Beetles, another one wall-to-wall with Ovals, a third with Karmann Ghias, it goes on...

And what can I say about the Grundmann museum?- WOW, what a collection of rare & superb cars!!

I can't think of anything else to add right now, I'm still lost for words... :d

Just to repeat- a HUGE thank you to the Grundmanns for putting on an absolutely fantastic show. It really must take an enormous amount of effort, hard work & time to do this and I'm sure every single person who attended would agree that it was a superb event. The only downside is that we have to wait another 4 years until the next one!! :cry:

What a great weekend - had a very good time.
1200 odd kilometers and the car never missed a beat, and kept its cool inspite of the sticky weather.

Good to meet everyone that I met and sorry to have missed everyone that I missed.

Thanks to the Grundmanns for a cracking show!
Here´s to the next one.

First of all I congratulate the Grundmann's and their team for that magnificent meeting!
We (Guido, his wife and me ET) left on Monday afternoon!
We could not leave on sunday because we had such a good time over the weekend
so we decided to go home a day later and enjoy one more day.
So no "cold turkey" for us!
Now that we are talking about "turkey", such a little bird told me
that Yan Rami's heb broke down on the way home
so the possibility excists that there is going to come
a Hebmuller up for sale in England!!!
Or Yan has to buy a new engine!
But speaking of breaking down, when Guido turned up the motorway
an alarm in his car went
and said to close the engine immediatly because the Audi engine was to warm
and loosing all the cooling fluid!
I know that shit happens!
After waiting an hour we were picked up by a sort of ADAC (Touring assistance)!
Than brought to garage (Audi, trailer and split window)
to see that we weren't the only Belgians who broke down!
On the parking lot of that garage was also a standing a (I think a 1964)
genuine Mach 1 beetle!
(Isn't that something typical Belgian with an Okrasa engine?)
During the repairs of our "tow truck" (read Audi)
we managed to find a nice restaurant so atleast we could eat and drink!
After doing the dishes (we had no money nomore to pay for the food)
we could go back to pick up the car and go home!
Driving, driving and driving you think? Yes but only till the border of Germany and Holland because the border was closed!!!
Only God knowes why!!!
Luckely the GPS of Guido's car guided us along all places of interest!
But it was totally dark so we did not see much of the sights!!!
Around midnight I could open a few cannisters of ice and ice cold "Hoegaarden"
and after finishing those Belgian quality beers I could go to bed
and have sweet dreams over the passed weekend!

:twisted: ET

Sorry Yan I could not resist!!!



I ’ll never regret the things I did wrong!
I only regret the good things I did for the wrong people!

I spoke to that guy with the green Mach1 at the show. He said he had had a few Mach1s and said about sixty were built and 11 are left. Looked like a nice car.

I was wondering that also. I actually thought there seemed a fair amount of lowered vehicles in attendance and that the lowered Heb's got quite a lot of attention.

If it's ready, perhaps I'll have to take the 55 in 4 years time :lol:

Hah! My car was on German TV - on the second link that Peter posted at about 2.08 on the right of the guy.
Ah - I always knew I was destined for the big time!:lol: :roll:
