    Volkswagen of America asked me to bring a retro-inspired homage to life, 8 months before the launch of the 8th Generation GTI in the USA.

Après la pluie, le beau temps / after every storm Après la pluie, le beau temps / after every storm, there is a rainbow. 💙🤍❤️
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There was a storm tonight before the  VW Days show in France, when the show was setting up, with everyone seemingly safe and secure afterwards. I hope everyone is as dry and unaffected as possible. There will be some tidying and more tomorrow, but that is another day.
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well done to the organisers and staff and everyone who helped in the wind and rain. It felt like proper solidarity and warmth. I hope you can get some sleep, and know we will all help as much as possible tomorrow (…later today, it’s almost 4am now..).
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We will see everyone in a few hours from now at the show. If you see anyone not using a tent or with some repairs, give them an extra high five or hug. For us, the booth is fine, the trailer may need some small repairs. We are very grateful for that, and we have offered another company that they can share our booth this weekend as their tent was damaged.  We, I, hope they will still be able to enjoy the weekend with great friends and great cars. And we fully expect to see lots of people having a great time - the party was still going in the camp site around 3am. 
👏❤️

History lesson - this weekend is the traditional Ascension holiday in Germany and Austria etc. This was also the traditional weekend for the GTI Treffen in Reifnitz, Wörthersee. That was last held in 2019, and hasn’t come back since.
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
XS is a print magazine, and also a car show brand. And they’ve done many car shows in and around Wörthersee (Lake Wörth)  normally a week or so before the GTi Treffen. So now they’re back, and the GTi Treffen isn’t. But so are we and a whole lot of other cars. It’s Wörthersee, just a bit different and not the GTI Treffen at all, and we’re happy to be here for it.
BANNED + €1,000 strafe / fine 😳😓
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Legal in Netherlands, but a couple of days in Wörthersee and this Mk2 Golf doesn’t have its Dutch license plates anymore, so it can’t drive at the lake.

 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is, and has been, a common tactic by the local Polizei for many years, but it seems to be becoming much more common, and on much cleaner cars. No speeding or driving tickets issued on this one, only for those three faults.
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s the worst part in your opinion? The €1,000, the number plates gone with those hassles, or not being able to drive this beautiful car at the beautiful lake?

The Static Dog Van RS4 25th Anniversary… spotted The Static Dog Van RS4 25th Anniversary… spotted at Wörthersee 💙
For tax purposes this is not a wagon, it’s a van - complete with rear seat delete.
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s a nuance of the Belgium vehicle registration laws, and it’s made this 25th Anniversary edition of the Audi RS4 even more cool in my honest opinion.

So by being classed as a van, it qualifies for a lower tax rate, and rather than transporting tools or just for making deliveries, its rear seats have made way for a platform which holds the dog bed for Quattro, the owners beloved and perfectly named K9.
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As well as featuring static ride height - no, not air-ride suspension - using @gepfeffert coilovers, it’s riding on MB wheels which were originally one piece made to look like 3-piece, but now cut apart and made into real multi-piece wheels. That’s all part of what the owner does at his company MAQ in Belgium.
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With the original Alcantara steering wheel, blue lighting and stitching that makes up part of the 25th package, the interior didn’t need much else, but the colour matched roof box on the outside is a perfectly executed touch.
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While the USA did get the bigger brother RS6, it didn’t get this RS4. Do you think the smaller and slightly lower cost option would have been a hit, as a wagon or as possibly the worlds best dog van?

Hengst (Honda) Filter Friday. Who knew that 1.6L H Hengst (Honda) Filter Friday.
Who knew that 1.6L Honda filters are so small? 😅
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first oil change on the inherited 1999 Honda Civic DX - and I had no idea the filters were so small, or indeed that they’re located on the back of the block 😅
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s not German like the rest of the cars in here, but it can have a hergestellt (oder Gemacht) in Deutschland Öl filter 😂

Almost 50 years of Kongs from @kongcompany and 75 years of the @volkswagen Bus - with the inspiration from the toy coming from a rubber suspension bump stop from a VW Bus that was in the toy inventors workshop 💙

And this is our 11-year-old puppy, Axle. I found him on the side of an interstate on a rainy Tennessee mountain, en route to a Volkswagen show in Helen, Georgia. He was just a few months old and covered in ticks. Right around the same time, a car in our convoy had broken an axle, hence his name. ❤️

 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Its computer is showing 10.0L/100km which is 23.5 US MPG, which is awesome - I didn’t expect this range.
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This fuel stop was $2,99 per gallon for 93 R/N2 / 98 RON octane, at a Buc-ees on I-81 in Tennessee. Yes, they have a lot of pumps 😅
