Before heading overseas, Bill will be taking the legendary Type 34 Karmann Ghia \"Zorba\" to two major events: Luft Zeigen on June 13th and the EMPI 70th Anniversary Celebration on June 20th. From there, the journey continues across the Atlantic to the United Kingdom, where he'll pick up the famous orange Katastrophenschutz Bus and begin an epic European road trip. The route will take Bill and friends from the UK across the Netherlands and into Germany for the world-famous Hessisch Oldendorf Volkswagen Treffen, one of the most significant vintage VW events on the planet. After Germany, the adventure continues through Europe before arriving in Belgium for the legendary European Bug-In at Chimay, where thousands of air-cooled Volkswagen enthusiasts gather each year. Joining Bill this week is longtime friend and VW builder Andy Finch, who shares the details of the upcoming trip, the planning involved in driving a classic Volkswagen across multiple countries, and some of the incredible destinations, collections, and VW enthusiasts they'll be visiting along the way. Andy also gives listeners an inside look at what's happening at his shop, including several exciting restoration projects, new builds, and some fresh equipment and products he'll be unveiling this season. The conversation dives into vintage Volkswagen culture, European road-tripping, restoration craftsmanship, and the friendships that make the VW community unlike any other automotive hobby in the world. Whether you're dreaming about driving a split-window Bus across Europe, attending Hessisch Oldendorf, or simply love hearing stories about classic Volkswagens and the people who keep them alive, this episode is packed with adventure, history, and plenty of VW talk. We can also never thank Russel Richie enough for being so involved in the VW seem to put so much of this together. We'll have him on the podcast real soon.

It lets you compare different builds under the same testing conditions."}},{"startTime":191.7,"endTime":200.5,"type":"term","title":"repeatable","url":"/glossary/repeatable","quote":"So we've got a little more control on the dyno side.

A “four inch bore” means the cylinders are about 4 inches across, which strongly affects displacement and how much air/fuel the engine can move.","simplifiedExplanation":"“Bore” is the width of the engine’s cylinders. A “four inch bore” means the cylinders are very large, which usually helps the engine make more displacement and power."}},{"startTime":443.9,"endTime":449.4,"type":"company","title":"Seward Speed Shop","url":"/glossary/seward-speed-shop","quote":"Also D&G out on that Seward Speed Shop who won last year, right?

On a VW bus, this is a common custom step to get a low stance and aggressive stance without the tires rubbing.","simplifiedExplanation":"“Tubbed” means the body was modified to make the wheel area wider.

In VW circles, that usually means the geometry and clearances are addressed so the car drives predictably rather than just rubbing and bottoming out.","simplifiedExplanation":"They’re saying the bus was lowered in a way that’s meant to work, not just look low.

It’s a common modification in lowered classic VW builds, but it’s also the kind of change that needs careful fabrication to avoid weakening the structure.","simplifiedExplanation":"“Chassis notched” means they cut part of the frame/chassis for extra space. It’s often done to make a lowered car fit properly, but it should be done carefully so the car stays solid and safe."}},{"startTime":963.5,"endTime":968.0,"type":"concept","title":"catastrophe vehicle","url":"/glossary/catastrophe-vehicle","quote":"these buses were distributed throughout Germany they were like a catastrophe vehicle if something were to go wrong this when you see the big orange blimp hit the streets with the blue light on the top","canonicalId":"concept:catastrophe-vehicle","priority":0.6,"confidence":0.75,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"The host is describing a “catastrophe vehicle” role—essentially an emergency-response bus used when something goes wrong.
