Wilson the VW bus

Wilson and I make the trip to the CJVWS All Air-Cooled Gathering in Flanders for 2024. The event is fantastic, but the trip home does not go so well.

Wilson has got the summer squeaks when it gets warm outside, and I think I know how to cure it.

What does a summer heat wave, rainouts, new spark plugs and a custom horn button have in common? Wilson and the summer of 2024.

Volkswagens, German food, and did I mention a biergarten? The June 7 Deutscher Club VW event was the place to be on a beautiful Friday evening.

Remember those 1,800 holiday lights that I put on Wilson back in December? Well, I never thought that taping them to the bus would cause me to have to do a bunch of paint repair on Wilson’s patina. Don’t worry, we still are not rocking a new paint job.

A controversial Volkswagen accessory on many ruined VWs is added to Wilson. Do you hate it? Do you love it? Do you have any idea what I’m talking about? Let’s hash it out on this episode of Wilson the VW bus.

I wanted to upgrade the wooden interior door panels of Wilson with some Westy blue-plaid inserts, and in this episode, I’ll tell you how I did it… and how I messed up.

On this episode of Wilson the VW bus, I come THIS close to getting my hands on a sweet 1962 VW beetle, and although I do not personally own it, it is still in the family.

Back by popular demand, we are kicking off season #4 of Wilson the VW bus with a brand new year… 2024. I’ve got a new addition to the family, and of course a few upgrades with Wilson.

On this final episode of season 3 for Wilson the VW bus podcast…we wrap up the 2023 year with a bit of holiday cheer, and wrap up Wilson with 1,800 LED holiday lights.

On this episode of Wilson the VW bus, I revisit the Circuit in Asbury Park, go to church, and suffer my first breakdown. Did I make it home? Tune in to find out.

It’s autumn here in NJ, and the cruise nights and car shows are wrapping up for the season, but there is still time for a few last minute gatherings… and a little appreciation.

The Flanders camping weekend was complete, now we move on to the car show, and I run into my old pal Dave once again. This time, I remember to save the recorded interview.

Three days of camping in the woods surrounded by Volkswagens… have I died and gone to heaven? Nope, I'm in Flanders.

Wilson is forced to stay at home for a while, but not before a good week of hanging out at some new places and meeting some new faces.

Well I’m back from the Bermuda triangle, no I’m not kidding you, and from what I was told there is only one VW bus on the island nation of Bermuda, and it is a working single cab.

It has been nearly a month since I last talked to you guys, and I’d like to apologize for that. You see, my home required some attention, and I have spent nearly every waking moment over the past few weeks attending to some long overdue repairs.

If I told you that I purchased a new VW engine block, you might think that something catastrophic has happened to Wilson’s engine, but maybe not. Stick around to hear what I did.

Season 3 of Wilson the VW bus begins with a vehicle being sold, and I am finally able to talk to you about it.
