Buy Some Lego, Get a Free LEGO Beetle

As we all know, few things in life are better than LEGO. One of the few things that manages to come close, though, is an air cooled VW. That’s why this marriage of the two, part of a new promotion that LEGO is running, is a  match made in heaven.

The promotion goes like this: buy $50 worth of LEGO and you get a free mini Volkswagen Beetle set. Unfortunately, this isn’t the big, $100 LEGO set that we featured on the site last year, but a smaller, more impressionistic version.

The set does still look pretty cool, though, albeit in a more primitive way. The shape is a little less accurate than the full size set’s, but this one does at least come with a surf board, cooler, roof rack, and VW badge. It all combines to make what looks like a pretty neat set.

The promotion started on April 1 and sadly ends on April 15. It does appear, though, to be available all over the world, not just in the States. So if you’re an Australian, or even a Hungarian fan of LEGO and VW, you can take advantage of this offer.

The one caveat is that the purchase needs to be $50 before tax (12,000 Hungarian Forints) and can’t be combined with gift cards. The offer is good online or at LEGO Stores.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
