Do we love LowLights?

we received this message in our mailbox this morning…

As a happy member of BBT4 Blog, I want to share one of VW beauties with all of you. This is a 1958 convertible ghia, painted L-87 Pearl White.

I bought this car on 1996 at Rio de Janeiro – Brazil. According to Automuseum´s Certificate, this car was sent brand new to Bremen – Germany and, after that, I don´t know how, this car went to the United States until she got to Brazil by the hands of an old German man,

The old man told me he drove this car for his last 20 years. Unfortunally he died only six months I met him for the first time and I bought the car from his son, completelly disasembled.

After almost a decade, I finally displayed my beauty at a car show at the end of 2007. Hope you enjoy.

Regards,
from Recife City – Brazil

Jorge, thank You so much for sharing these beautiful pictures from your little jewel with us! and if we like LowLights? You bet!!!!

I always said; “They come back from the moon one day!”

“In 1945, the Nazis went to the moon. In 2018, they are coming back” is the strapline of the new movie Iron Sky that has just premiered at the 62nd Berlinale (Berlin Film Festival). A comedy about Nazis in space, it has had mixed reviews but by all accounts the CGI effects are very impressive.

Check the two attached promotional pictures to see what car these guys drive. Well, what did you expect? Good call!

Watch the official theatrical trailer at: http://www.ironsky.net/

Thanks Pete Frost to share this information with us!

BBT’s Friday product update!

This week not many news from products, but still some very interesting things to mention…

BBT#1718 Piston kit 77mm/87mm case 1200cc (KS)

We’re very happy to announce we found a solution for this TNA product! We digged up some old stocks @ Kolbenschmidt and are able again to finally deliver, prices are higher, but as my dad always told me, better expensive than not for sale…

don’t we love those old boxes?….hmmmmm

BBT#0684 High beam relay 12 volts

Wow! sometimes I’m wondering why certain products are not functioning like they should, the once so inexpensive Hi Beam real as a prime example, for months, most customers simply returned theirs as it didn’t work properly, or not at all. We searched river deep and mountain high, for this stupid product, and got no less as 15! samples, at a certain point we got so desperate we wanted to start the production ourselves! But we found a solution, and now after three month sales and hunderds sold with ZERO returns we can simlply say we sell the right product again!
