HW Speed Graphics | VW Käfer Racer

Volkswagen cars produced in collectible Diecast form has been translated with several toy brands in the past five to six decades with diverse design versions. The Volkswagen Beetle is iconic with the classic shape and curves described as the “People’s Car” that became legendary.

There are several color, shape and form that defined the Beetle. Hot Wheels has produced lots of them, but never redesigned to become something new to the eyes. Not even in fictional form that can become something radically Crazy this version that gave birth to the Käfer Racer.

Reader & Rides | How to Keep Your VW Alive

Self-help books for the novice or casual mechanic is a rare thing back in day until 1969 when John Muir collaborated with Peter Aschwanden self-published a book titled “How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive” for the classic Volkswagen Beetle owners that is currently on its 19th edition with new material from Tosh Gregg and Aschwanden remains widely available.

What makes this book a bestseller is that its one of those for dummies being able to be published that is helpful to everyone who ever owns a classic beetle. Though I only found this book recently, I have not been able to finish the first chapter last year.

It’s only of the book they have that caught my attention, which I borrowed from TAFE Regency’s expanded library last year. It’s actually the only copy that is available in the libraries that TAFE have.

But recently I searched for another copy in one of South Australia’s public library, which is in Marion Cultural Centre.
