In this episode, I’m joined by Lee Bushaw and Joey Girodano from Workstat Restoration to break down everything that went down during VW Revival Weekend in Southern California. After seeing the buzz all over Facebook, I knew I had to get these guys on the mic to recap the multiple Volkswagen events that made the weekend one for the books. We kick things off with the legendary DKK (Der Kleiner Kampfwagens) Cruise Night on Friday, then dive into the Saturday coin toss: do you hit OCTO Bus Meet in Long Beach, or the **Rare Vintage Air Concours d’Elegance in Huntington Beach? We talk about who went where and why, plus the vibes at the ISP West Open House on Saturday afternoon. Finally, we dig into Sunday’s debut of the VW Revival Show—an event aiming to bring back the classic VW show weekend energy. Did it live up to the hype? Was it the spark the scene needed? Tune in as we talk split-window buses, slammed Ghias, show politics, and the future of classic Volkswagen events. --- Would you like a shorter version for podcast platforms that have character limits (like Spotify or Apple Podcasts)? <a href= "https://www.letstalkdubs.com">www.letstalkdubs.com</a> <a href= "https://www.vwtrendsmagazinie.com">www.vwtrendsmagazine.com</a> <a href="https://www.rosswulf.com">www.rosswulf.com</a>         use Code LTD10 for 10% off your order <a href="https://www.thewagen.com">www.thewagen.com</a>

Ep 319 VW Revival weekend roundtable with Joey G & Lee Bushaw

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.   <a href= "https://www.letstalkdubs.com">www.letstalkdubs.com</a> <a href="https://www.rosswulf.com">www.rosswulf.com</a> Use Discount code LTD10 for 10% off on your purchase on Rosswulf website. <a href= "https://www.vwtrendsmagazien">www.vwtrendsmagazine.com</a> <a href= "https://type-emotorsports.com/collections/featured-collection/products/icon-forged-piston-set-aircooled-vw"> BUY ICON PISTONS HERE</a>

The sad passing of VW family, Stanley Ford and we tell you about when the celebration of life will take place.  He will be missed. Then the Anaheim Hills Murder suicide of Marco and Allison Gurrero. Its been a crazy couple of weeks. If your troubled with mental health issues PLEASE GET SOME HELP. Life is too precious to lose. We also discuss what George is working on at the shop and much more.

Gerald Klaus: From German Roots to High-Performance Innovation Born in Germany and raised in the world of Volkswagens, Gerald Klaus grew up under the influence of his father, Rolf Klaus—a respected VW performance builder and parts manufacturer. With a split-window Beetle in the garage and a legacy of tuning engines for German enthusiasts, Gerald's path was set early. Armed with a degree in metallurgy and hands-on experience in industrial foundries, Gerald combined his technical expertise with his lifelong passion for Volkswagens to take on an ambitious challenge: designing and manufacturing his own performance cylinder heads. In this episode, we dive deep into the world of Type 4 performance, exploring the science behind metallurgy, cooling, and airflow—and how Gerald's innovative designs address the shortcomings of traditional heads. Whether you're a hardcore VW builder or just love stories of passion meeting engineering, this episode is packed with insights into what makes a great performance head—and the dedication it takes to create one from scratch. <a href= "https://www.rosswulf.com">www.rosswulf.com</a> use code LTD10 for 10% off parts <a href= "https://www.vwtrendsmagazine.com">www.vwtrendsmagazine.com</a> <a href= "https://type-emotorsports.com/collections/featured-collection/products/icon-forged-piston-set-aircooled-vw"> ICON pistons here.</a> <a href= "https://www.letstalkdubs.com">www.letstalkdubs.com</a> <a href= "https://www.gofundme.com/f/please-support-jamie-benns-healing-after-violent-attack"> Go Fund me for shooting victim Jamie Benn</a>
