    The fact that it starts off with a Clutch song makes this a great documentary already.

    This wasn’t a millionaires race. This was a upper middle-class race when America was dominated by the middle class. this is when the gap between the haves, and the have Nots was workable. Unlike the gap we have today between the haves, and the have Nots that isn’t sustainable.

    I remember visiting Wolfsburg while they were making the Bug. I bet the guys in those dark, stinking, deafening sheds never dreamt the cars they were making would achieve this, but I also bet it would have brought a smile to their eyes if they knew.

    Great to see some Tamiyas at 1:42:40 because the Sand Scorcher RC Buggy was one of the first RC Buggys ever. The Baja Cars had and still have so much influence on the hobby. Awesome movie, loved to see the oldschool buggys race.

    I drag raced VWs in the 90s thru early 2000s. Still have my 1965 Beetle I bought in 1986 at the age of 16. Anyone know who sells a class 11 car? Project would be fine. The baja area is awesome. Great video on the history of off road racing and how the VW played an important role and still is alive today!

    I couldn't love this more. You guys really captured the essence of the beetle and what it is to love them. I've been beetle free for a the last few years and I didn't realise what was missing until I rolled another one into my garage for a resto. Walking into the workshop every day to see its smiling "face" looking at me brings a joy thats unexplainable. The essence of motoring that you find when behind the wheel of a beetle is so sadly missing in todays cars its actually sad. The irony of the evil that created the VW beetle that is now the source of universal love and freedom just adds so much more to its story. Congratulations and thank you to everyone involved in making this film.

We met Gary Emory at the West Coast Metric 30 year anniversary of the Baja Bug celebration in 1997 and drove to Cabo with Bruce Meyers during the Baja 2000 event. Those VW's are great fun.
