Featured: I got this 1971 1302 Super Beetle when I was 16, and I still own it today at 35. It was given to me by my grandfather’s best friend so I could start driving. The car had not been on the road for 15 years, but it had been stored safely in a shed. With the help of a few friends and a student budget, I got it running again and drove vintage for the next couple of years. Later on, I added a few accessories when I could afford them, slowly making the car my own while continuing to drive it as much as possible. Two years ago, after the car sat in my garage for a while without an engine, I decided it was time to give it new life with the upgrades I had always planned. It has never been fully restored, just some paintwork done about 10 years ago, but now it has a more classic German sport style with four wheel disc brakes, front and rear stabilizer bars, a 2110 engine, reinforced 8x31 gearbox, Recaro seats from the 1980s, Kamei front spoiler, Momo steering wheel, and more. I drive it several times a week, and it is always a joy on the roads of the south of France. Every time I turn the key, I think of my grandfather, and that makes this car truly special.

Premier aperçu de mon passage samedi aux @les2toursdhorloge , organisĂ© par @vdevsports sur le mythique @circuitpaulricard Une chance de shooter en action ces autos de course historiques, vĂ©ritables tĂ©moins d’une autre Ă©poque. Un grand merci Ă  l’organisation pour l’accrĂ©ditation full access, j’en ai pris plein les yeux (et les oreilles) tout autour du circuit đŸ”„ Cette passion pour les anciennes, qui me suit depuis que je suis minot, est plus vivante que jamais. Merci Ă  tous ceux qui font vivre ce patrimoine automobile Ă  travers ces Ă©vĂ©nements uniques. Rendez-vous en 2026 🏁

Yesterday I had the chance to attend the Le Mans Classic Series Test Days organized by @peterauto at @circuitpaulricard . Seeing these historic endurance machines on track is always something special. The sound, the atmosphere , the smell of fuel and burnt rubber bring a unique reminder of motorsport’s golden era. Grateful to witness these incredible cars being driven the way they were meant to be , before the race season 🏁 and to capture a few frames along the way. - #lemansclassic #historicracing #peterauto #motorsportphotography

Two icons, two eras, one shared mechanical soul đŸ”„ The legendary Volkswagen Beetle meets the vintage Porsche 911. One is simple, charming, and made for the people. The other is sharp, refined, and timeless. On the asphalt, their lines tell a shared story , a design that transcends decades without ever losing its magic. #ClassicCars #Porsche911 #vwbeetle #drivetastefully #vwkĂ€fer

Entre une armĂ©e de 911 & 356 et deux anciens avions Jaguar 
 , cette 924 seule au loin me faisait de l’Ɠil. Le genre de caisse que tu remarques pas forcĂ©ment au dĂ©but et qui finit par te faire faire Ă  la fin, une nouvelle alerte d’annonces Leboncoin đŸ€“ (Merci les @provence_outlaw ) —— ENG: Between an army of Porsche 911s and Porsche 356s, and two vintage Sepecat Jaguar fighter jets
 that lone Porsche 924 in the distance kept catching my eye. The kind of car you don’t necessarily notice at first, but that ends up making you set a fresh alert car classifieds by the end đŸ€“ — #porsche #porsche924 #drivetastefully #924oc

Échappement sur mesure. RĂ©alisation d'un Ă©chappement sur mesure pour cette Coccinelle 1302 S au look German, sobre et efficace. Les contraintes principales pour ce projet Ă©taient les suivantes : - Une sortie unique prenant place dans l'encoche droite de la jupe d'origine, - Un bruit feutrĂ© qui permet de faire de longues distances sans ĂȘtre trop dĂ©sagrĂ©able, - Un produit fini solide et esthĂ©tique. S'est ajoutĂ© Ă  cela un dĂ©lai court car le vĂ©hicule devait ĂȘtre prĂȘt pour le Car and Coffee du @provence_outlaw une semaine plus tard. Le point de dĂ©part de cette fabrication a Ă©tĂ© un silencieux @vibrant_performance , de conception solide et assez volumineux pour permettre de rĂ©duire les volumes sonores. J'ai Ă©quipĂ© le collecteur 4 en 1 dĂ©jĂ  prĂ©sent sur le vĂ©hicule avec un raccord Vband pour assurer une Ă©tanchĂ©itĂ© parfaite. L'ensemble de la tubulure a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©e en inox 63mm, exceptĂ© la sortie finale qui est en 70mm, le tout soudĂ© au TIG bien Ă©videmment. J'ai Ă©galement ajoutĂ© deux tĂŽles de renfort entre les tubes afin d'Ă©viter les vibrations du tube de sortie, ces deux tĂŽles ont reçu un trou embouti afin d'augmenter la rigiditĂ©. #vw #vwbug #Cox #vwaircooled #vwbeetle #volkswagen #volkswagenbeetle #aircooled #aircooledvw #tigweld #tiginox #tigwelding #flat4 #germanlook #diy #vwgermanlook #flatfour #flat4nation #flat4engine #performanceparts #homemadeparts #vwperformance #diyexhaust #slymotors #provenceoutlaw #roadwarrior
