Hi guys!

I am still here, still visiting this forum every now and then. My conversion is running smoothly for a couple of years now, and I am still very very happy with it!

I went on a long weekend holiday with my wife and two kids in my beetle. We went to the Eifel area in Germany. It was a blast driving it on the mountain roads! The beetle had to work hard on the highway and those mountain roads, but the engine ran exellent, and kept running excellent.

Here are some pictures and video's:

Looks a stunning area. My partner keeps asking when can we actually use the camper. It is good to se someone has passed that stage!

Yes, that is partly why I posted it here. It's all worth it! Happy

Wow, Gerrelt, that is a nice trip and I really like the engine sound in the movies.

Good to see it is holding up great!

So close and you didn't go to Nürnburg Ring, not even for a coffee? Wink

@Sietze: Yes, I agree, but it sounds different (better..) in the film then in real life.

@Sven: Yeah.. I know...one day, I'll have to visit and drive it!

lovely area that, was road tripping and sort of found it by accident, had no intention of really staying for long just drove round trying to find somewhere to bed down and before we knew it we were on a really high road looking across this massive valley,
