KLE's Passat Pirat

One of the reasons, why I started Chromjuwelen.com five years ago, was to show unusual cars and the people behind them. One of them, who doesn't give a rip about what others say, is KLE. KLE has a preference for oddball German cars, especially the stuffy Volkswagen Passat. Today I had the pleasue to meet up with KLE—who paid Hamburg a visit—and his latest creation, the "Pirat". Though I don't like every detail on KLE's cars, I think his jalopies are some kind of lowbrow art cars.

Please make sure you visit KLE's blog, he keeps a very painstakingly record about every modification. Btw, the other car—a badly modified Ford Granada—belongs to Helge Thomsen.

Race Dezert Baja Bug

When we visited the General Tire Mint 400 some weeks ago, our friend Klaus (race-dezert.com) told us about his new desert racer from Deutschland which he just was building: A Volkswagen Käfer.

These days he will race the NORRA 2010 Mexican 1000 Rally. Mud in your eye, Klaus!
