Ok, so it’s not really Herbie’s wedding, but he was there for a visit. This fun 65 Beetle was at the site of the old Cullen Gardens for a wedding & the owner wasn’t around, so I can’t provide any details, but it looks cool.

Over in the Zentastic Garage, Shannon Larratt has dug out one of his old projects, a Laser 917 kit car. After years of sitting in a corner somewhere, the Porsche 917 replica is set to have a complete reworking. Updated headlights and a more streamlined windshield will be just the beginning from the sounds of things. For now, the car has been brought home for the initial clean up. Currently without a powerplant, Mr. Larratt is looking for a reasonably price (can you say free?) beetle engine to drop in, just to get the car moving. Regular readers may remember Shannon, he’s the guy with the camoflage painted Porsche 911. I’m sure we can expect the same type of cool when the Laser is finished.

Ah the Nurburgring, home of Hans and Sabine those masterful Ring leaders. Watch as wannabe ringmeisters flog their beetles, beemers, Simcas and god knows what else, with no safety equipment. Watch for the freak who gets tossed from his beetle who no doubt kept right on lapping.

What little girl hasn’t wanted the famous Barbie Beetle? Well ok, not the ones who already have the Corvette, but that’s another story.

Down in Mexico, they are building 13 Barbie Edition New Beetles for sale through select dealers. The cars sport the prerequisite dayglo pink exterior, complete with pink interior details and even pink wheel lug nuts.

When are we going to see the Barbie Edition Z06?
