Herbie´s new buggy.
Its Herb day today, hey´s celebreat his birthday today to pic up his new Rough Rider buggy. Hey wanted a new faster bug next to his old Beetle car!
Hey ordered the new buggy a half jear ago, the guy who hat to build it foundt one but it was in a very bad condition (see the last picture)! The guy who build it was talked with Herb how it must look like. The color must be the same as the old car and also the stripes, the interior got to have some extra features, as also his new overall and helmed.
The engine must have a lot of power and the exhaust must finished it of!
The car number must agreed as his birthday this jear, and hey´s getting 54 jears old today!
The bug must be finished on his birthday while hey´s pic it up! So today is Herb´s big day to pic up his new Rough Rider Buggy. ;-) :I While hey was going home hey coudnt not wait to make a ride in the desert, so thats what hey did first. Hey coudt also learn how the bug feels with hey was driven. So enouf been talking, up to the pics!
Herb is really happy with his new buggy, and i´m enjoyed with my new camera, so we hat both a great day. entertain with the pics, thanks for watching. just one little thing, put all your glasses on for splasching the sand round your ears lol ;-)

Very nice buggy, love the colour! Also I am working on a body which I painted with a colour very similar to that! . The net and the extra details look great too. Very nice place to drive in ...and as usual great pics !!

OH YEAH! That is looking seriously great I love the off-white colour and it has such a nice sober racy look to it, great build. Pictures are yummie as well and this must be the bargain of the year: 25 bucks? great catch

Thank you BeetleOne, the color is a auto motive color it called vanilly cream. The exhaust was not readdy jet at the time, comes from the other side of the world.
Pics from the camera are much sharper then the other ones. This one is a 12 megapixel with a lot of great features and it has a hi speed burst mode. Some pics made with that! Again a lot to learn with that new camera.
Crash Cramer
Nice idea and the spare tire is a cool addition.

@ kees, Meby i like this bug more then mister HERB himself, but he drive´s in it just today so i think hey´s gonna like it more and more..
It really was a bargain but the hole front suspention was gone. It coast me a lot of time to find all the parts what i needid, but it was all woarth the wait. I think you missed my other post yesterday, finelly you have to look that first but it dosnt matter.

@ Mad Bee this is the place to bee, its not a real beach but closer to my house as the real beach! Its fun to drive here but i will go one time to the real beach. Also thanks from mister Herb to vote for it.

So many ways to pimp this awsome classic. Love those HELLA-lights!
MAD-BEE
Looks a great place to open the throttle and have a lot of fun buddy!!!
SRB Bloke
Herb on the beach. You cant beat those pics. Looks a real fun day, great work on the details.
def4x4
@ Mad again yea i open the throttle full but i dear not to go for full speed, i woudt run a bit save for the first time but i think it was also the battery! I got one original battery but it was not compleet full. And i have no racing packs or lipo´s, just normaly batteries. The hyest mAh packs i have are 5100s. Enouf for a long drive. The only minus point is that those bugs are a bit heavy! Cheers alfons.

Lovely resto on that Rough Rider def4x4! Love the alternate colour choice and a move 'away from boxart.
Cool action shots always add another dimension
