Spa Francorchamp Bugshow 24/25 july 2010
 

There isn't a thread about this great meet and I think it fully deserves it as it usually offers all what germanlook tuning is all about.

Here's some pics my buddy Franc made as his car was 'in progress' at that moment ;)

I'll definitely be making this show a priority as soon as I get the cabrio done! Is it annual or bi-annual?

Annual ;-)

Will make a push to make it next year then!

:rockon:

Wally, thanks for sharing.. All I can say is wow..

Any info on the yellow with what looks like a shortened 911 motor with OHC?

Looks like he is using some sort of dzus fasteners on his wings for quick release?

Alex

Holzapfel Overlfy
 

Thats a type 1 case with 911 heads, not a shortenend 911 ;)

The more interesting one is the rare Holzapfel Overfly engine in the white car from Thomas Wöhr. I still think MartinB should have directed his efforts to re-surrect that engine instead of the attempts to create a thermally challenged 4-valve aircooled boxer engine from all new solid sand castings...:rolleyes:
Look at the valve covers ;)

Thomas' car kept up with the Race Taxi!

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

This is VW heaven!!!

I agree!

Another billet type 4 head with T1 exhaust ports. I like the vent between the cylinders though.

But I rather have this :mrgreen: (Holzapfel Overfly motor)

The site is HUGE, and there were many, many more show quality cars I haven't shown (or seen myself)...

An idea of the 'camping site':

Thanks for posting all the pix. Looks like a fantastic event. And there could be no better place to have it.

And we get drag racing venues and 135 series tires up front at our shows:angry:

Not sure I linked this one yet. You see most all (except for mine :o ) cars drive by from the "La source' corner onwards. I think this was on saturday (damp):

Like Wally said, this is the perfect event for the Germanlook fans. The cars with rollcages can make laps around the whole track. For the rest of the cars there is the option to make almost full laps behind a pacecar. At the part off the track where the dragraces are you have to make a pass thrue the pitlane. The rest of the track you can go as fast as you want without making crazy overtaking actions. I've made almost 30 laps this way.

A few of my pictures.

Breefing for the owners of the serious cars with rollcages.

Excellent vw's, in Mexico there is no this option to rent the car-racing track, and much less to run with the vw's, excellent images that make dream!:)

WOW! thanks for the pic post that just made my night :)

It's actually one stint of half an hour, but I had to cut it in two to put it on YouTube.

hi guys, I'm also back from Spa Francochamps, posting a little late, but ever since I came back, I've been too busy catching up with things.
This is my picture album of the whole trip, with more than 1300 pictures, so enjoy:

It's been an amazing trip, from the Black Sea to the North Sea and then to the Adriatic for some seaside fun, and then back home, just in time for a local VW meeting :D everything went well, and the SPA Bug show was a blast... I hope I'll be able to do it all again.

thank u so much for saring these with us Wally, your effort is most appreciatted. if I ever win Lotto, I'm bringing my car & my mates Oval to one of your car shows to do some laps.
Awesome
jak

Has anybody got further infos about this car?
Engine, suspension + some pictures about the interior would be nice

this is great guys, i wish we have something like that in my country, a litle question: does a type 1 engine supports all thatas laps without any failures? or all these engines have special mods done to them?
