In nice weather, 60 beetles drove through the Swabian Alb. The highlight was with special permit to drive through the vineyard in Neuffen. It has never happened before that one beetle lined up on a vineyard path. Afterwards the beetles visited the castle Hohen Neuffen and in the afternoon the dam hotel was taken by the beetles for coffee.
On Saturday we had to get up early: The beetle convoy moved through the Swabian Alb to Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen to the Porsche Museum. The K-UE Club has once again made history: Where the beginnings of Beetle construction began, the last of the species paid tribute to the designer Porsche. Never have the Última Edición Beetles lined up in front of the Porsche Museum! Mexico special models and beetles from the 50/60s as well as US beetle models also lined the entrance to the museum.
For lunch, the beetle convoy was invited to the courtyard of the Residenzschloss. In honour of the city of Ludwigsburg, which celebrated its three hundredth anniversary, the Beetles presented the numbers "300" and "LB". The friendly NSU-Schwaben-Club showed its line-up with " '09 ". VW and NSU also have a common air-cooled past.
On Saturday evening the participants were surprised with life Mexican folk dances!
Sunday morning was the day: ... On the tracks of the prehistoric beetles!
The convoy drove a part of the test track through the northern Black Forest to the idyllic Eyachmühle near Dobel. There, the beetle fans were spoiled with delicious trout for lunch.
The Black Forest trip continued over the most beautiful routes to Baden-Baden. There the beetles were received with the destination flag and thanks to the exception permit the beetles were allowed to be lined up on the Lichtentaler Allee.
With this club trip not only our participants were happy. We put many other people with our beetles into the most beautiful memories. The Volkswagen-Automuseum Foundation accompanied the meeting with a Mexican beetle taxi, driven by Dr. Bernd Wiersch a car historian.
This meeting was documented by a 256-page photo book and a one-hour film. The magazine VW-Speed (issue 12/09) reported about this meeting with a four-page report with the rating "Kultur-Trip".
