Hi Everyone! Today we have something very special! Our friends Jerry and Judy have graciously allowed me to do a yearly service on their prized 1969 Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet “Lemon Drop”. The car had a complete restoration in the early 2000s. VW air-cooled Beetles were designed to be maintained and are quite easy to work on.

A super special thanks to Marcelo Tonella for his shout-out on his amazing VW channel out of Brazil: https://www.youtube.com/user/marcelotonella
He is a true VW “Whisperer” with the sole of John Muir… I wish I could understand a bit more Portuguese, but it is beautiful to listen to and the videos are very fun to watch. His daughter is behind the camera to bring us a wide verity of VW topics. Check it out!!
