Photo of the week #78 – There are relatively few VW Cabriolets left in the UK, due mainly to our weather and the fact that we put salt on our roads each winter. Most Karmann cabriolets that you find on display at UK shows are left hand drive imports like this early 60s example seen at Stanford Hall this year.

Stony Stratford Volkswagen
I popped along to this years Stony Stratford Classic Car Festival last Sunday morning and this time, as it was looking like it would be nice and sunny, I took my ’55 Oval Window Beetle out for a drive.

Tenía tanta hambre que comí mis palabras
Colorado is filled with extreme sports enthusiasts — marathoners, triathletes, cyclocross racers, river kayakers, rock climbers, mogul skiers, and myriad other endorphin junkies. Intrepid Coloradans trek up our 14,000 feet peaks each and every summer weekend because, well, they’re there. And everyday, run-of-the-mill, «normal» people take on day-long rides like the Triple Bypass where they cycle over 3 mountain passes, 120 miles with over 10,000 feet of elevation gain just to say they did it. What’s crazier than that? How about that people choose to do that same ride in reverse the following day to complete the Double Triple Bypass?
