    Tommie is the man! Seems very knowledgeable and his demeanor is so chill and calming. But a madman behind the wheel of his Bug.👏🏻
    VW Life, can’t get enough of it.

    I was rooting for you to win the title, so sorry to see that things didn't go your way on the last event. Thanks for the recognition in the video, I really appreciate that. These kinds of things have really helped me out a lot. New stuff is coming, as I'm starting to manufacture my "next generation" fans (Early VW/Non-doghouse, Porshe 356 and a new Doghouse fan) next week, and I should testing my first two entirely new cooling systems next week too.

      @@tommiesmith3369 A lot of interesting work. VW did a very good job with the design of their fan, that's for sure. For awhile, I didn't think I would be able to do better ;-)

    I didn't expect Grillo's racing team from over here in Mexico. They are from Mexico city and have a big reputation in aircooled VW racing.
    And Tommie, that red bug of yours' engine sounds really sweet and happy at high RPMs! Congrats on that build!
