DWL Youngtimer?

Here's Tero's new golf Mk1 project. '81 GLS with cool original red interior to be exact. There's also a couple of Mk1 Gti's and one wannabe Gti project going in my friends garages, I must post them up some time.

Snow Plow

It's been snowing, which is nice. A lot nicer than that wet and dark fall weather we've had past two months. Waiting for the video from this '56 oval plowing the snow.

Winter is near.

850km in two days, business trip to Oulu is over once again.

Another 15 Minutes In Fame

Here are pictures of a story on local newspaper last spring. They interviewed and photographed me and my friend for a story about old VW's on the automotive special on this newspaper called the Karjalainen. I sold the '54 Oval on these pictures to get my Porsche.

Jokon Rückfahrscheinwerfer!

I just got these über cool NOS Jokon reverlights for my 1500S! These are pretty rare beasts! And I got them for 30€!

Newspaper surprise!

Funny surprise when flying back from Beijing yesterday. I found my colleagues on one picture in a wednesdays newspaper called the Ilta-Sanomat, and realized I was on the same flight from Vienna to Helsinki three weeks ago, where the picture was taken. A closer look and I found my own back of the head on the picture too! How many times would things like this happen? Sitting in an airplane reading a newspaper seeing yourself sitting in an airplane?

Here's my 912

I'm planning also to get rid of copy fuchs, mine are 6x15", and replace them with original 5,5" and 6" steelies.

Taisto's and Artsi's 912

Artsi sent me these photo's of their father&son Porsche 912 project. It's an early SWB three gauge car from 1966. Linked photos shows mostly how the car was when they started. Car was running summer 08 with 7x15" copy Fuchs wheels and front seats from seventies, as you can see from the pics below. But now they are restoring original 5,5" steelies and getting the original front seats refurnished.

Tiananmen Square / Walk around the town

This must be my 6 or 7 visit to Beijing, but before I haven't had a day off, so today I went to see the Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden city and took about 6km walk back to the hotel. I saw for example odd looking MB100 Van, two shops that were selling police car emergency light systems! Click Here for more photos.
