Speed Racer 4K colorist John Daro joins Nerdtropolis Mayor Sean Tajipour on Reel Insights to talk about restoring the Wachowskis' visually groundbreaking live-action anime for its new 4K release. In this conversation, Daro breaks down what a colorist actually does, how color grading balances technical precision with artistry, and why Speed Racer was the perfect film to revisit with today's modern home theater technology.Daro opens up about why the project was deeply personal to him, from his family's animation history to his own connection to cars and the emotional themes at the heart of Speed Racer. He also explains how the 4K restoration stayed true to the Wachowskis' original vision while using wider color gamuts, HDR, improved shadow detail and new tools to bring out what was always hiding inside the image.The conversation also dives into the challenge of restoring a movie as visually wild as Speed Racer, including its layered effects, surreal racing worlds, bold colors, icy blues, glowing highlights and the film's goal of feeling like a true live-action anime. Daro also explains how his team handled the original 2K elements, why they avoided artificial-looking up-res work, and how their in-house Samurai tool helped make the movie feel natural in UHD.Daro also shares why Speed Racer is the disc to put in when you want to test what a new TV can really do, why filmmaker mode matters at home, and what great color work should feel like even when viewers never consciously notice it.

Alles wordt duurder... Dat wordt deze maand maar weer pijnlijk duidelijk in de beweging van de consumentenprijsindex. In mei lag het gemiddelde prijspeil in Nederland 3,5% hoger dan een jaar geleden. Het is voor het eerst sinds oktober dat de stijging boven de 3,0% uitkomt. Energie is duurder door de oorlog in het Midden-Oosten, maar ook de prijzen van diensten stegen. Redacteur macro-economie Marijn Jongsma legt uit dat we te maken hebben met een versnelde inflatie. Als de energie-inflatie lang aanhoudt door de Golfoorlog, zal dit leiden tot hogere looneisen waardoor de diensteninflatie oploopt. De toekomst blijft onvoorspelbaar. Alles hangt op dit moment af van de ontwikkelingen in de Golfregio... Lees: Stijging inflatie zet in mei versneld door met 3,5%, energierekening 10% hoger. Het is misschien niet de eerste sector die in je opkomt als je aan de oorlog in Iran denkt, maar condoomproducent Karex, bekend van het merk Durex, verkeert in zwaar weer door toeleveringsproblemen van aardolieproducten. Het Maleisische bedrijf, dat een vijfde van de wereldwijde productie van condooms produceert, heeft de prijzen met 20% tot 30% moeten verhogen. Zal dit uitmonden in een babyboom? Karex-topman Goh Miah Kiat verwacht dat de vraag naar condooms gelijk blijft. Ze zijn hoe dan ook nodig, redeneert hij. Daarbovenop zegt hij dat in slechte economische tijden men voorzichtiger omgaat met het krijgen van kinderen. Onze beursredacteur Felice de Man praat ons bij over de koersontwikkeling van Karex. Lees: Golfoorlog raakt fabrikant Durex Mondkapjes, isolatiejassen, handschoenen: onmisbare beschermingsmiddelen tijdens de covidpandemie. De vraag naar de middelen was groot.

VWS voert nog altijd twaalf civiele procedures tegen verschillende leveranciers. Met handelsconcern Bunzl kwam het onlangs tot een schikking.

Nu al tekorten medicijnen en medische hulpmiddelen: hoe weerbaar is de zorg bij een crisis?

De Nederlandse zorg draait is afhankelijk van snelle, internationale toeleverketens als het gaat om medische hulpmiddelen en geneesmiddelen. Ziekenhuizen en apotheken houden maar kleine voorraden aan en bestellen wat ze nodig hebben, vaak voor een paar dagen vooruit. Dat is efficiënter en goedkoper, maar kwetsbaar zodra er iets misgaat: wat gebeurt er bij een oorlog, een cyberaanval, een blokkade of een fabriek die stilvalt? Tekorten aan medische hulpmiddelen en medicijnen zijn nu al voelbaar in de zorg. Hoe goed is Nederland eigenlijk voorbereid op het moment dat de aanvoer echt stokt? Dit is deel 1 van de vierdelige serie 'zorg in tijden van crisis' van BNR Beter, over de voorbereiding van de Nederlandse zorg op crisis en conflictsituaties. In deze aflevering van BNR Beter bespreekt Nina van den Dungen hoe weerbaar de Nederlandse toevoer van geneesmiddelen en hulpmiddelen is in tijden van crisis en oorlog. Te gast zijn Jeroen de Lange, Directeur Supply Chain Benelux bij Mediq, distributeur van medische hulpmiddelen aan ziekenhuizen en zorginstellingen, Bart Smals, bestuurder bij het Landelijk Coördinatiecentrum Geneesmiddelen (LCG), voormalig apotheker, en Jonathan van Veelen, projectleider van het Iris-project, dat in opdracht van het ministerie van VWS een crisisplan opstelt voor de aanvoer van medische hulpmiddelen. De drie gasten kijken elk vanuit hun eigen rol naar dezelfde vraag: wat gebeurt er met de zorg als de spullen opraken? Jeroen de Lange vertelt hoe Mediq zich als distributeur wapent tegen verstoringen, van meerdere leveranciers tot afspraken over transport bij een langdurige stroomstoring. Bart Smals legt uit hoe het LCG medicijntekorten in goede banen leidt en hoe artsen behandelingen aanpassen als een middel schaars wordt. Jonathan van Veelen schetst hoe de Nederlandse sector voor medische hulpmiddelen nu werkt aan een draaiboek voor het moment dat het echt misgaat. Het gesprek gaat over de lessen van corona, de afhankelijkheid van productielanden als India en China, en de vraag hoeveel noodvoorraad eigenlijk nodig is. Een rode draad: weerbaarheid zit niet alleen in grote voorraden, maar vooral in vertrouwen, samenwerking en duidelijke afspraken over wie wat doet als de nood aan de man komt. Over deze podcast BNR Beter is het wekelijkse programma van BNR Nieuwsradio over een toekomstbestendige zorgsector. Elke week bespreekt presentator Nina van den Dungen met zorgprofessionals, ondernemers en beleidsmakers hoe de Nederlandse zorg met technologie, innovatie, regelgeving en wetenschap beter kan worden. BNR Beter is elke maandag om 15:30 op de radio te beluisteren bij BNR Nieuwsradio, en vanaf dat moment ook als podcast via deze feed.

Supercharging a classic Volkswagen isn't a new idea—it's been around since the 1960s—but today's technology is taking air-cooled performance to a whole new level. With the rise of modern kits like the AMR500, more VW enthusiasts are exploring forced induction as a serious upgrade for their street and performance builds. In this episode of Let's Talk Dubs, we welcome back Ron and Kevin Trewhella from Rababak Performance to break down their latest innovation—the all-new MK supercharger kit. Designed specifically for larger displacement air-cooled VW engines like 2276cc, 2332cc, and 2.2L+ builds, this system is built for real, usable power. We're talking dyno-proven numbers pushing up to 240 horsepower and 288 lb-ft of torque at just 3000 RPM—the kind of low-end torque you can actually feel on the street. We get into the development process behind the MK kit, what makes it different from smaller AMR500 setups, and what engine combinations work best to maximize performance and reliability. Whether you're building a street-driven Volkswagen, a weekend warrior, or just curious about bolt-on supercharger kits for air-cooled VWs, this episode is packed with insight straight from the source. If you're into supercharged VW engines, air-cooled performance upgrades, Volkswagen engine builds, or forced induction setups for classic Beetles and buses, this is one you don't want to miss.

Zo kan er weer een sprookje van de klinieken bij het vuilnis gezet worden. Daarna hebben we Judith Pennarts te gast. Zij is onderzoeksjournalist bij Nieuwsuur en doet al geruime tijd onderzoek naar het reilen en zeilen bij de klinieken. Of beter: de misstanden. Zo waren daar de moedwillig te vaak gebruikte donoren, het gebruik van te oude donoren (45+) en zelfs de onthulling dat MCK loog tegen de inspectie bij een onderzoek in 2015/2016. En vandaag dan het nieuws dat VWS nu het bestaan van de richtlijn uit 1992, waarin de klinieken aan zelfregulatie deden, afzwakt naar een 'advies'. Wij vinden het fijn dat Judith zo grondig haar werk doet en betrokken is op dit dossier. We hebben ons als donorkinderen zo vaak roepende in de woestijn gevoeld.

What keeps a classic car honest isn't a fresh coat of paint—it's the quiet, careful work that makes it start, steer, and stop like it should. We sit down with Tim Winton, founder of Cambrian Classics in West Wales, to unpack the craft of mechanical stewardship: how a small, dedicated team brings MGs, Triumphs, Austin‑Healeys, Alfas, and air‑cooled VWs back from the shed to the street. Tim shares the overlooked checks that transform the driving experience—like why an MGB's steering rack must be oil‑filled—and how correct tire pressures, proper lubrication, and smart carb and ignition tuning often beat expensive “upgrades.”Tim's journey from the modern motor trade to a thriving classic workshop reveals what really builds trust: consistent results and a feel for how these machines were meant to behave. We talk MG identity in 2026, the difference between bodywork makeovers and true recommissioning, and why variety—from a TR5 to a rare Humber Hawk—keeps the craft sharp. You'll hear how long‑stored cars return to life step‑by‑step, and why experience across “a hundred variations on a theme” helps diagnose issues by sound and feel alone.We broaden the lens with two practical segments for everyday drivers and road‑trippers. First, a clear look at parking space design—30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° layouts—how aisle widths and one‑way flow affect access, safety, and door clearance, and why perpendicular slots can be the worst for usability. Then we map five spring break road trips across the United States: the Grand Canyon loop from Flagstaff, California's Pacific Coast Highway, the Great Smoky Mountains, Utah's Mighty Five, and the timeless pull of Route 66. Whether you drive a well‑loved MG or a modern SUV, you'll leave with actionable tips and fresh ideas for the next journey.If this mix of hands‑on wisdom and road inspiration hit the mark, follow the show, share it with a car‑loving friend, and leave a quick review so more enthusiasts can find us.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Ruim 2 miljoen Nederlanders combineren een betaalde baan met mantelzorg voor een naaste. Door vergrijzing stijgt de zorgvraag, terwijl ontgroening het aantal beschikbare mensen om die zorg te verlenen juist verkleint. Dat legt druk op zowel de arbeidsmarkt als het zorgstelsel tegelijkertijd, omdat er steeds meer mantelzorg nodig is. De Sociaal-Economische Raad (SER) bracht donderdag 19 februari een advies uit aan de rijksoverheid over hoe werk en mantelzorg beter te combineren zijn. Naar schatting wordt 18% van alle werkgerelateerde uitval veroorzaakt door mantelzorgtaken. In deze aflevering van BNR Beter bespreekt presentator Nina van den Dungen het SER-advies met drie gasten: Ruben Houweling – hoogleraar Arbeidsrecht en kroonlid van de SER, voorzitter van de commissie die het advies schreef. Cécile Boot – hoogleraar Gezond Werken bij Amsterdam UMC, onderzoeker naar de effecten van mantelzorg op werkenden. Jeroen Vermeulen – oprichter en CEO van Zorggenoot, een platform dat mantelzorgers ondersteunt bij regelgeving en administratie via AI. De SER werkt in zijn advies langs twee sporen. Het eerste richt zich op het vergemakkelijken van de combinatie werk en mantelzorg. Centraal daarin staat een voorstel voor acht weken doorbetaald zorgverlof op 70 procent, vergelijkbaar met de WW en de ziektewet. Het tweede spoor richt zich op het beheersen van de groeiende vraag naar mantelzorg, via preventie en investering in de formele zorgsector. Houweling licht toe waarom de SER kiest voor collectieve financiering: mantelzorg is volgens de raad een maatschappelijk risico dat buiten de invloedssfeer van individuele werkgevers valt. Boot benadrukt de rol van cultuurverandering op de werkvloer. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat gesprekken over mantelzorg in 80% van de gevallen tot een praktische oplossing leiden, maar die gesprekken vinden nog weinig plaats. "Mijn droom is dat het geven van mantelzorg net zo normaal wordt als het krijgen van kinderen," zegt ze. Vermeulen wijst op een complicerende factor: een gemiddeld mantelzorgtraject duurt zeven jaar. Verlofweken bieden in veel gevallen tijdelijke verlichting, maar lossen het structurele probleem niet op. Een deel van de verklaring waarom bestaande regelingen zo weinig worden gebruikt, ligt volgens hem in de versnippering van het aanbod. "Als je de hulpvraag niet weet, stel je hem niet en raak je overbelast," zegt hij. Zijn platform Zorggenoot probeert als één loket die informatiekloof te dichten.

Het beoogde minderheidskabinet wil bijna 10 miljard euro bezuinigen op de zorg, terwijl de sector al kampt met personeelstekorten, vergrijzing en oplopende zorgvraag. Tegelijkertijd zet de coalitie stevig in op preventie, passende zorg en een andere inrichting van het zorgstelsel. Maar wat betekenen deze plannen in de praktijk voor patiënten, zorgverleners en instellingen? En hoe realistisch zijn de beloofde besparingen? In deze aflevering van BNR Beter gaat presentatrice Nina van den Dungen in gesprek met drie zwaargewichten uit het zorgveld over de gevolgen van het nieuwe zorgbeleid. De verhoging van het eigen risico naar 460 euro, het afschaffen van vergoeding voor ongecontracteerde zorg en de invoering van eigen bijdragen in de wijkverpleging roepen fundamentele vragen op over solidariteit en toegankelijkheid. Wie gaat de rekening betalen? En dreigt zorgmijding bij kwetsbare groepen? In deze aflevering hoor je: Xander Koolman – gezondheidseconoom aan de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Anneke Westerlaken – voorzitter van ActiZ, branchevereniging voor ouderenzorg en chronisch zieken Ad Melkert – bestuursvoorzitter van de Nederlandse Vereniging van Ziekenhuizen Daarnaast wordt uitgebreid stilgestaan bij het idee van ‘passende zorg’: zorg die beter aansluit bij wat patiënten echt nodig hebben, en niet automatisch méér of zwaardere behandelingen. Is dit een kans om de zorg slimmer te organiseren, of wordt passende zorg vooral ingezet als verkapte bezuiniging? Preventie speelt een sleutelrol in de plannen van het kabinet, met extra aandacht voor jongeren, leefstijl en vaccinatie. Maar levert preventie op korte termijn daadwerkelijk geld op, of verschuiven de kosten vooral naar de toekomst? Tot slot kijken de gasten vooruit: welke onderdelen van het zorgbeleid maken kans om overeind te blijven bij onderhandelingen met de oppositie? En waar is juist ruimte om nog stevig te onderhandelen vanuit de zorgsector? Waar moet de nieuwe minister voor zorg meteen de tanden in zetten? Deze aflevering werd opgenomen voordat bekend werd dat Sophie Hermans (VVD) de nieuwe minister voor Volksgezondheid, Welzijn en Sport wordt. Vragen of opmerkingen over deze aflevering van BNR Beter?

Was hat Ubisoft uns denn da hingelegt: Sechs Spiele eingestellt, darunter das ersehnte Remake von Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, sieben weitere verschoben und mit mehr Geld und Zeit ausgestattet, was grundsätzlich nicht verkehrt ist, aber wohl auch zu noch höheren Erwartungen führt. Mehrere Studios geschlossen, Mitarbeiter entlassen und weitere „Sparmaßnahmen“ angekündigt (auf deutsch: sie wollen noch mehr Studios schließen und Leute entlassen). Alle Studios und Marken unter fünf „Kreativhäusern“ neugeordnet und ausgerichtet auf die „zwei Kernsäulen Open World Adventures und Games-as-a-Service“. Und natürlich wollen sie verstärkt in „player-facing“ genAI investieren, also durch KI generierte Elemente, die auch in den Spielen selbst enthalten sein soll, Grafik-Assets oder auch NPCs, die dank LLMs noch belangloseres Zeug sabbeln. Die Börse hats gedankt und die Aktie ist um 30 Prozent gefallen. Aber keine Sorge, den üblichen Technik-Quatsch haben wir auch zu bieten: Bei Mo ist der Wasserboiler ausgefallen und in gewohnter Manier hat er, nachdem der Handwerker ein professionelles „Oh, das wird teuer!“ angebracht hatte, eine angemessen abenteuerliche Lösung improvisiert. Die Wischwasserpumpe von Meeps Auto wollte nicht mehr pumpen, was sich am Ende doch leicht lösen ließ trotz redlicher Bemühungen VWs, das zu verhindern. Und Mike hat Onimusha. Warlords durchgespielt und alles auf Youtube gestellt. Da gehts auch bald weiter mit Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny! Viel Spaß mit Folge 292!

We're talking about the Volkswagen scandal. Yes, well, let's go back to the beginning. How did it all start? Well, Richard, if you think about it, German products, they have a good reputation, don't they? Especially for engineering, yes.我们在谈论大众汽车丑闻。是的,那我们回到事情的起点吧。一切是如何开始的呢?理查德,如果你仔细想想,德国产品的口碑一直很好,对吧?尤其是在工程技术方面,是的。And I think the motor car industry represents the best of all of that. Yes, they're reliable, well-designed, efficient, highly engineered. Who doesn't want to own a BMW? Or a Mercedes.我认为汽车工业正是这些优点的最佳体现。是的,它们可靠、设计精良、高效,而且工程技术含量极高。谁不想拥有一辆宝马?或者一辆奔驰呢?But in terms of being environmentally friendly, diesel cars have a poor reputation, particularly in the US, where very few are sold. So, yes, so when VW said that it had designed cars with a new clean diesel technology that surpassed the strict US regulations, it filled a huge hole in the market. Yes, so there are fewer fumes, Richard, toxic fumes.但是在环保方面,柴油车的名声并不好,尤其是在美国,柴油车的销量非常少。所以,当大众汽车宣称他们设计出了一种新的清洁柴油技术,能够超越美国严格的环保法规时,这正好填补了市场上的一个巨大空白。是的,这意味着废气更少了,理查德,有毒废气更少了。It's mainly... Nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, things like that. OK, but retaining better fuel efficiency and excellent performance. I mean, VW was on to a winner, wasn't it? Sales were soaring.主要是……氮氧化物、一氧化碳之类的东西。好吧,但同时还能保持更好的燃油效率和出色的性能。我的意思是,大众汽车当时似乎找到了制胜法宝,不是吗?销量一路飙升。And, of course, their US advert said, Diesel – it's no longer a dirty word. So, step in John German, a worker for a small, independent, non-profit organisation dedicated to helping reduce vehicle emissions. Yes, he was asked by his European colleague to check the emissions of two diesel VWs because they wanted to carry out on-the-road testing in the US.当然,他们在美国的广告中还说:“柴油——不再是一个肮脏的词。”于是,约翰·杰曼登场了,他在一家小型、独立的非营利组织工作,致力于帮助减少车辆排放。是的,他的一位欧洲同事请他检测两辆大众柴油车的排放情况,因为他们想在美国进行道路实测。So, he took two VW cars and a BMW also for a drive with a probe placed in the exhaust pipe so they could test the vehicle emissions. Yeah, and a portable emission measurement system. And he found out that the VWs massively exceeded the official emissions.于是,他开着两辆大众汽车和一辆宝马上路测试,在排气管中放置了探头,以便检测车辆排放。是的,还使用了一套便携式排放测量系统。结果他发现,大众汽车的排放量远远超过了官方标准。Remembering that we have two German cars here and their reputation for reliability, he thought there was a technical error with his measurement system. So, he did the tests again, he expanded the tests, and this time the cars were driven more than 1,200 miles from San Diego to Seattle. So, what he found was that the VWs, they still exceeded the US standards by up to 35 times.想到这里测试的是两辆德国车,而德国车一向以可靠著称,他以为是自己的测量系统出了技术故障。于是他重新进行了测试,并扩大了测试范围,这一次车辆从圣迭戈一路开到西雅图,行驶了超过1200英里。结果他发现,大众汽车的排放仍然高出美国标准,最高甚至达到了35倍。Although the BMW itself was fine. Was absolutely fine. So, to cut a long story short, we now know that VW had installed a defeat device software that gave inaccurate measurements when the cars were being tested.而宝马本身则完全没有问题,确实是完全合格的。长话短说,我们现在知道,大众汽车安装了一种“作弊装置”软件,在车辆接受检测时会给出不准确的排放数据。But only when they were tested in laboratory conditions, not when they were out on the road. Yeah, somehow the car knows it's being tested, maybe because the steering wheel isn't being turned, or maybe because the outside temperature doesn't change. But once on the road, however, the software doesn't kick in and the true emissions could be detected.但这种情况只发生在实验室条件下的检测中,而不是在实际道路行驶时。是的,不知怎么的,汽车似乎知道自己正在被测试,可能是因为方向盘没有转动,或者因为外界温度没有变化。但一旦上路行驶,这套软件就不会启动,真实的排放情况就暴露出来了。Yeah, so it means for the last two years, there have been far more harmful emissions coming out of these VW cars in America than before. So, VW faces huge fines for breaking the Clear Air Act, plus fines of up to over $37,000 per vehicle in the US. So, is this the end of VW, Richard?是的,这意味着在过去两年里,这些大众汽车在美国排放出了比以前多得多的有害气体。因此,大众汽车因违反《清洁空气法》将面临巨额罚款,而且在美国每辆车的罚款最高可能超过3.7万美元。那么,这会是大众汽车的终结吗,理查德?

What if the Volkswagen you built as a teenager never really left you? In this episode, we get into the incredible full-circle story of David Lawler and his 1971 Volkswagen Beetle from Southeast England. David bought his very first VW at just 14 years old, poured years into building it, and saw that dream rewarded when the car landed in a Volkswagen magazine in 1995. But life changes. Priorities shift. The unthinkable happens—and the car is sold. Watching your first show-winning Volkswagen drive away is a regret that never fully fades. For decades, the Beetle would resurface in David's life, always just out of reach. Nearly 30 years later, he finally gets the chance to buy it back—only to discover it's far worse than he imagined. Rather than restore what was lost, David makes a bold decision: start over and build something entirely new. The result is a radically re-imagined 1971 VW Beetle—a modern, hot-rod-inspired machine that stands completely apart from anything else in the Volkswagen world. From extensive paint and bodywork, to chop-top modifications, a full roof conversion, and a cartoon-style window treatment, this build rewrites the rulebook. The hot-rod-meets-custom interior seals the deal as a true one-off. That risk paid off in a big way. The car was selected Top Five at the VolksWorld Show and went on to land the cover of the November 2025 Volkswagen magazine. This episode covers the emotional journey, the design decisions, the fabrication challenges, and what it means to let go of the past—only to build something even better.

In this episode, we dive into the story behind Discipline Child — a wildly custom 1955 Volkswagen Beetle owned by Cali Springer, originally from the Virgin Islands. What began as a simple inquiry about fuel injection turned into a one-of-a-kind build by Alvin Lawrence of Auto Fanatic, also hailing from the islands. This isn't your typical classic VW Beetle. Discipline Child features a Subaru engine swap, full air suspension, electric air conditioning sourced from a Tesla, and a top-tier custom sound system. The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail reflects the dedication and discipline it took to see this project through to the end. From the island roots to the custom Budnik wheels, this car blends old-school air-cooled Volkswagen soul with cutting-edge modern tech — and it's all done in true island style. If you're passionate about vintage VWs, air-cooled culture, and radical custom builds, this is an episode you don't want to miss. Cali Springer is also the promoter for the VI bug out.

Haar belangrijkste werk, het boek A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792) is een pleidooi voor gelijke rechten voor vrouwen, ze trok haar leven lang ten strijde tegen achterstelling van vrouwen. Haar eigen leven was vol pieken en dalen, van een nare jeugd met een alcoholistische vader tot romantische affaires die uiteindelijk misliepen.

In the world of classic VW technology, innovation often comes from the enthusiasts—not the factory. That's exactly the case with Andrig Miller of Andrig's Air Cooled Technology, who took it upon himself to improve one of the most overlooked components in air-cooled Volkswagen engines: the cooling fan. In this episode of Let's Talk Dubs, we dive deep into the development of a new **high-efficiency VW cooling fan** engineered for lower drag and increased airflow at low RPM. We cover how Andrig tackled the age-old challenge of VW fan efficiency, the science behind airflow and thermal management, and the process of prototyping and testing to meet performance goals. If you're passionate about air-cooled VW engine performance upgrades, cooling system innovation, or just love hearing how modern tech is pushing vintage VWs forward, this one's for you.   www.letstalkdubs.com www.rosswulf.com Use Discount code LTD10 for 10% off on your purchase on Rosswulf website. www.vwtrendsmagazine.com BUY ICON PISTONS HERE

Click here to send a text to Christian and Doug with your contact infoStep into the world of air-cooled engines, handwritten carbon copy receipts, and a family legacy spanning over a century with Guinevere of Freecia Brothers. From her first car—a Tropicana Orange Karmann Ghia that proved challenging to drive—to her current rotation of beloved VWs including a 1963 Beetle named "Lily" and a 1987 Cabriolet called "Gadget," Guinevere's life has been shaped by these iconic vehicles.Located on dealership row in Greenwich, Connecticut, the Freecia Brothers shop started by painting horse-drawn carriages before evolving with the automotive industry. Today, they specialize in air-cooled Volkswagens, Porsches, and Corvairs. What makes these vehicles so special? Beyond their mechanical simplicity and distinctive chirping sound, they're conversation starters. "Everyone has a Volkswagen story," Guinevere explains, noting that she allocates extra time for errands when driving Lily because strangers inevitably approach to share their own VW memories.After studying fine art photography, Guinevere returned to the family business in 2012, finding it still operating with rotary phones and no computer. She gradually modernized their approach while preserving essential traditions—her father still insists on using carbon copy paper for receipts. This balance of old and new perfectly represents the Volkswagen community: honoring history while ensuring these beloved cars continue running for future generations.Whether restoring flood-damaged dune buggies, replacing convertible tops, or simply keeping these automotive icons on the road, the Freecia Brothers team brings passion and expertise to every project. As Guinevere puts it, "We just want to keep them on the road. Just want to make people happy." Connect with this remarkable family business at https://linktr.ee/FrecciaBrothers and discover why, after 102 years, their garage door still points true north—a fitting symbol for their unwavering dedication to classic automobiles.#frecciabrothers #connecticut #greenwich #vw #karmannghia #beetle #aircooled #family #toallthecarsivelovedbefore #everycarhasaculture #EveryCarTellsAStoryNew episodes drop every other Tuesday.

The Cadillac CT4 and CT5 Blackwing both made this list, alongside a handful of perennial stalwarts like the Honda Civic, Honda Accord, and GR86/BRZ twins. Afterwards, we recount hanging with Jay Leno while filming 3 separate episodes of Jay Leno's Garage featuring Jason's Mk2 VW Scirocco 16V, E30 BMW 325i Touring, and E31 850 CSi.  And finally, it's time to talk best drives of the year! The boys loved three Ferraris: the 296 GTB, 360 Challenge Stradale (manual-swapped), and F50. Plus one car from Enzo's nemesis: the Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster.  Then, Jason and Derek include wwo Porsches: the 992.1-chassis 911 S/T and 964 Carrera RS 3.8. Both the Bugatti EB110 GT and Veyron made the list, as did another Piëch-era favorite: the VW XL1.  Speaking of VWs, the 1964 Beetle and new ID.Buzz both made the cut as well. What would a Carmudgeon episode be without a smattering of Mercedes products? The W209 CLK63 Black Series (manual-converted), W201 190E 2.5-16, C126 560SEC, and a W124 300E with a Mosselman twin-turbo kit and Zender body!  Two EVs even made the list: the incredible Lucid Air Sapphire and spunky Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Plus some exquisite lightweights: the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint 1300, Lotus Exige V6 Cup, and Lancia Stratos. The worst drives of the year? That honor goes to the disappointing Pagani Zonda and 4-cylinder W206 Mercedes-AMG C63. We end wondering how to rack up miles behind the wheel of our favorite vintage cars safely.

They talk about Paul's experience as a new teacher and his introduction to modeling instruction, and later to the new modeling astronomy materials. After taking the modeling astronomy workshop and returning as both participant and "intern," Paul was invited to attend modeling workshop leader training. They talk about that experience and then dive into more thoughts on the astronomy and exoplanets materials, the virtual course, and engaging hands-on activities for the students. Guests Paul L. Sasso Paul L. Sasso is a high school Science teacher in Maine and for the past 13 years has been teaching all levels of Physics, and more recently Astronomy. He also directs the STEM Makerspace at school, which is a hub for 3D printing,and robotics (supporting students projects schoolwide). Paul has been a Modeler since 2017 when he took his first workshop in Physics Mechanics. He comes to teaching from a career in Engineering with Motorola, Siemens and General Dynamics. Restoring old VWs, remote camping, stargazing, photography and keeping up with his wife keep Paul busy the rest of the time. Highlights [15:32] Paul Sasso "[In the astronomy modeling class] There are people that have been teaching astronomy for a long time, but I believe the course has so much to offer, and just the different approach to it and the use of real data and the use of very current, real relevant, data science activities for the students.
