Today, January 31, it was sunny with clear skys, no wind, dry roads and low traffic, perfect for a Typ 64 drive on the countryside.😉 Trip took about 2 hours and amongs other things, did a photo session at the old Yo-Yo factory about 15kms from us. Very nice scenery for vintage cars, with their old buildings. Total milage today was 77kms and the Typ 64 have now been driven 1532kms in total. Car runs well and feels really nice on the road, good contact feeling in the steering wheel. 100-120km/h on the mainroads work really well for transportation. It runs so light in through the air, its a great feeling.😘 For more info: https://www.facebook.com/Jorgen.Andersson4 ---------------------------------------------------------- VW60K10 - Porsche Typ 64 - Berlin-Rome Rekordwagen - 38/43 Otto Mathé recreation.

Mycket trevlig natur för veteranbilar, med sina gamla byggnader. Total körsträcka idag var 77 km och Typ 64 har nu körts 1532 km totalt. Bilen går bra och känns riktigt fin på vägen, bra kontaktkänsla i ratten. 100-120 km/h på huvudvägarna fungerar riktigt bra för transporter. Det rinner så lätt in genom luften, det är en fantastisk känsla.😘 För mer information: https://www.facebook.com/Jorgen.Andersson4 -------------------------------------------------- -------- VW60K10 - Porsche Typ 64 - Berlin-Rom Rekordwagen - 38/43 Otto Mathé rekreation.

Trip went north and it was also time for a very nice coffee break at Bosse "Bildoktorn" Andersson, Swedish TV and Radio celebrity. I brought sponge cake and he and his lovely wife had fresh coffee and sweets. Bosse have many years experience at SFRO as a technical inspector, this is the organisation that checks and passes all privately built cars and motorcycles here in Sweden. Two hours of nice talks about everything!😘 The church in the background is located in Myresjo and was finished already in year 1150 at this location.💪 Bell tower to the right. Took the last pic when I stopped for sandwich and drink on my way back home. Greetings from Sweden.

Third recreation drive this week in the Typ 64. Nearly 4000 kilometers now in this car since finished. Very nice and mild autumn so far. Todays drive was also mainly on gravel roads, one stretch was newly sufaced and very loose on top, great fun.😎 Here are some pics from today and also a fantastic pic from the early 1940´s. Early KDF Beetles.....and look at the end of the right row...........😉 ------------------------------------------------ Tredje rekreationsresan den här veckan i Typ 64. Nästan 4000 kilometer nu i den här bilen sedan den blev klar. Mycket fin och mild höst än så länge. Dagens körning gick också främst på grusvägar, en sträcka var ny sladdad och väldigt lös på ytan, jättekul.😎 Här är några bilder från idag och även en fantastisk bild från tidigt 1940-tal. Tidiga KDF-Bubblor.....och se i slutet av den högra raden........😉
