The Baja Bug Movie (Feature Film)

[@bwinter2625]

I have owned a bug since I was 20. I am 70 now and in the garage is my street Baja Bug. It was my daily driver for many years.

My hero

[@duaneaguilera7963]

I built the 1st Street Baia Bug that were on the cover of Hot VW Mag Red one and white one. Those were the Days With the white bug I won the Bug inn. ,, Duane

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.

You can still do this and you don’t need a half million dollar trophy truck.

[@rustyshackle917]

​@todddonaldson2822 look at the net worth of any driver in the Baja today. Look at the net worth of anyone at a local track for that matter. A hobby for the 1%

[@watcherofthingsthatrkekano5930]

Be more humble about how you refer to people slick. I hope you don't walk around thinking people are just so simply defined.

[@todddonaldson2822]

@@rustyshackle917 Simply not true.

[@Hodad3000]

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

[@zoopy23able]

My first thought exactly!

HAHA, "They have helicopters telling them what to do......I had a bottle of scotch in the car"

[@tonyholliday6492]

This was great. I'm not dead yet so there's still time.

[@MattLundquistVW]

Great movie guys and MAD props for starting with Bruce Meyers and ending it with Dust buggy and Spencer. ❤

[@gunyoda2356]

I hope you are doing well, Merry Christmas to you and your family.

66 super beetle with a So Cal 6011 body kit and 280° roll bar set by Murphys Kustom! My High school car. 1600 duel port with porches jugs.

[@SyndicateRC]

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.

[@thedirtheadshed]

What a great movie!! It’s all about the stories

[@COARSE15]

I‘ve been waiting so long. Thx for this Movie. 🎥 I wish i could watch it in cinema in Germany. 😊❤

[@h-j.k.8971]

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.

[@anthonyolsen9299]

You were around when Hitler was😮. Hitler is the founder and inventor of the vw

[@rolgonz6568]

One of the best Baja movies I've seen in awhile! Go Bocho go!!

[@tuneuptony3679]

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!

[@fuzzbuzz2000]

54 seconds into it and im already hooked ,great soundtrack!(Love Clutch!)

[@JayDubber]

Killer film! Love my 68 baja bus with a lift, big tires and 1915cc by Full Monty racing..🤙🏽

[@erniemosteller]

Just finished it. This movie will live for years. It’s an instant classic - in the same class as Endless Summer or On Any Sunday. Spectacular work.

[@vincentcordero7599]

From the sound track, to the quality interviews, to the dedication to the history. Amazing Movie, amazing stories, amazing woke cudos my man 🤙🏼

[@TheBajaBugMovie]

Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it. I put a lot of work into this.

[@valdiviajr1]

Love the movie

[@vwdarrin]

Just an incredible piece of work. You don’t find VWs They find you.

[@scottfisher7254]

Best thing I've watched all year!!! Super rad

[@buckwheat3058]

Great Job... I will be watching it again.

[@yotarocket]

Never owned a VW Bug but have always been fascinated with them and desert racing. This movie was simply awesome!

[@jasonrackawack9369]

Same here😉👍

[@TheRealGemmell]

What a film! Incredible! Shared with the Fife Volkswagen Club in Scotland!

[@leegorgerat4017]

Some Clutch and Wilkes, what a banger brah 🤙💣

[@BlackJacket705]

Cinematic Gold!

[@markdeane1903]

All charged up ready to watch !

[@peterhehn9511]

Unquestionably, the single greatest automobile ever designed, the Beetle!

[@vzhojh3845]

I owned a 92 and love it!

[@Nathan-f8v]

Great movie!

[@backyardbuggies939]

So good thanks for sharing, nothing beats VW adventures!!!

[@1234meridian]

HECK YEA!!!!!!! Start any vehicle film off with CLUTCH and its gonna do it for me . Stoked to see this out and the crew at NORRA 1000 in April

[@Kenny_K2323]

RIGHT!!??!!

[@stanseel8900]

hooked me as soon as i heard tims guitar!

[@jamienicol9964]

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.

[@markdeane1903]

That was great, Thank you for posting movie! Excellent

[@reddawg1980]

That was badass 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@roywilson9120]

[@BajaJo]

Finally everyone can enjoy this masterpiece🤩❤️🧡💛

[@Biglug8888]

Awesome movie! I've owned Bugs off and on over 45 years. I'm on my 3rd Baja. This movie is motivating me to get mine running, it's only been sitting for 22 years!

[@local433gumby]

Thank you, great movie!

[@WayneStcroix]

I should have never gotten rid of my 1974 bug i regret it ugh just watching this got me shaking my head

[@josteincarlsen2905]

I had a 1976 Ford Escort so I know the feeling

[@geremysexton7051]

That was awesome! Love the Dust buggy and Spencer tribute. Great movie.

[@45calwheelers]

Great documentary and wow what an adventure!!

[@garthinflorida5124]

Opening with Clutch? Don't need to see the movie to know IT WILL BE AWESOME

[@wood66]

Waiting patiently....kinda from Pakistan!!

[@ZedNinetySix_]

Yeah man I remember these rally bugs were also a big scene back in the day in Pakistan too. Races were held and meets would spring up almost anywhere. My wife also has family who used to restore these bugs are race them in Islamabad, Quetta, Lahore ect, perfe t place for all sorts if different terrain and challenges❤

[@backyardbuggies939]

Just watched for the second time, great job 👍

[@hieroglyph321]

Been working on my newest Baja project lately and this is exactly what I needed to get me motivated 💪👍😊

[@eliasmora715]

so cool.... cheers Andy 1111

[@4wheeltrips]

So great. Glad I got to see it.

[@WSBach]

Amazing!! This is truly the 'video bible' for Baja Bug, Manx Dune Buggy and Mexican/Baja 1000 enthusiasts. Very, very well done 👍👍👍👍👍 Thank you for sharing this masterpiece.

[@Carchaeology]

Fantastic film! Such great soul and passion here. Well done indeed, and thanks for including me in the interviews. Gotta love this wild VW family we have going on here. Thanks for capturing it to share with the world!

[@lovecraft88]

Loved it. The end interviews just melted my heart away. And all got an open invite to come see the Baja 1000. What a story. May it never die. Thankyou for making this tribute.

[@scotfirehamer4247]

Clutch and Volkswagens!!

[@commonsense6050]

This is awesome! Thank you! This brings back so many memories. I owned a Baja Bug and a fiberglass buggy and enjoyed many off-road trips with them in the Mojave Desert and in Baja. 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.

[@Hoffmankustoms]

What a great watch! Tons of history and amazing footage, Surviving the game of chance

[@jkeleig]

Soooo Dope Brutha!!! What a fun time!! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻. Thanks for making it available! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@valdiviajr1]

Love this

[@gregwooldridge8864]

Best time of my life. 1 beetle I raced and another I drove to school.

[@ytidb]

Sooooooo good..... Something tells me prices of Baja Bugs are about to go up :) Very well done. Love it.

[@philliphinkle2812]

Lotta memories. This was fun. I never raced, I had a Baja bug for fun but racing inspired our bugs.

[@adamadams6740]

I love Baja and Baja bugs I’ve had 4-5 and one really nice one,the original guys and the class 11 guys today have backs and balls of steel!!! Also there’s nothing like the sound of an off road exhaust on a souped up VW engine ripping through the desert!!

[@humech]

I've been in tears the entire time watching this movie, thank you so much, this encapsulated so much about my formative years and racing in general. I've had two off road vws, a Baja and a Class 9 race car, it may be time to start thinking of another, been a lifetime

[@WickedGravityVideo]

Thanks for the fun new Baja movie to watch in Thanksgiving

[@AdidaFPV]

Awesome job Mike!

[@L1302H]

[@KITTYKRUSHER]

[@donniehunter309]

[@shakie72]

Great movie, so interesting to see the history through the modern day! Thank you far sharing it with the world through the KZbin platform!

[@extec101]

enjoyed every mile of the video. 😀👍🐞

[@dmc2087]

Please don't yell at me back in the mid eighties I had a 67 Baja bug street legal in Canada it became a bush bug very quickly , after destroying that one I traded a guy for a 52 split window 6 Volt bug but it couldn't be registered so I went to a local bug shop and tried to buy a Baja kit for a 52 split window and the owner of the shop threw me out and said never come back , so I ended cutting up that mint 52 and it became a bush buggy too , lasted couple of months the rolled it and it was totalled , looking back I sure do miss my Bugs

[@fineartdeaton3681]

Dude…..

[@Train411]

Awesome movie

[@MicBergsma]

My buddy sent me here, I found out no subtitles available, bummer so I am leaving but please reply back when you turn it on then I will come back to watch ❤

[@MrStacy1974]

Starting the movie with a Clutch song? Now I gotta watch this thing, thanks a lot .... lol

[@valdiviajr1]

Make me want to build one ❤

[@djkelly2551]

What an iconic vehicle, it does not get any better. I have owned 2 VW Beetles and a Westphalia and absolutely loved them all. Excellent production, thank you.

[@wirebrush]

Passed my driving test to get my license in a Baja Bug 33 years ago. My father had a Baja Bug built as a Forest Service vehicle in northern Arizona back then too. There was a blurb about it in Hot VW magazine. I wonder what ever happened to that car.

[@jonathanwambeck7800]

A must watch!!!! Great sound track

[@jareddenison3994]

Always loved the Baja bugs.

[@mybackhurts7020]

I miss my bug but it’s the reason I have the metal rods in my back

[@WayneStcroix]

[@MrSociallyDistrted]

Well done! Great to see so much love for the Beetle.

[@earlt_vw]

Great movie! I’ve followed these cars and races since the ‘70s, you captured the special car and the people. Thank you!!!

[@TheBajaBugMovie]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching

[@jps1145]

We’ll done! Worth the wait!

[@shannalove1837]

What a journey!!!! I truly enjoyed the making of these times to the Main picture!! So incredible to see it piece by piece. So awesome, so much love ❤️‍🔥

[@stepchildpolaris]

Thank you, for making a movie of my love of the Volkswagen. Of course now I must build and compete with a class 11, screw retirement

[@bajamcguide]

Que Chingon!! Thanks to everyone involved in making this happen. Great to see so many of the first heroes of the sport

[@hoa8954]

Great work on a great story! My first four cars were Baja Bugs, followed by a Baja Squareback... I graduated from skateboards and BMX to Bajas when I was just a kid. I learned so much about VWs and cars and engineering in general from all the stuff I broke and fixed on those Bajas. I'm still a builder and tinkerer today at 57 from those experiences. Terrific work on this movie, you captured so much of the scene in your piece... Bravo!! 💪❤️👍

[@TheBajaBugMovie]

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ve skated all my life and still do. You can see a little bit of skate influence in some of the shots if you look closely 🤙

[@SmartMass]

I wish the algorithm worked this well all the time. Thanks for sharing such wonderful stories!

[@dannybroom9947]

i wish this site would allow more than one like. incredible film, you can feel the love and all the hard work definitely comes through. props to everyone involved

[@timswitzer792]

FANTASTIC!!!!

[@valdiviajr1]

❤❤❤Love it ❤❤❤❤

[@darrenquirk2269]

Great film. Fantastic soundtrack.

[@REDBEARDBLACKTEETH]

Thank you for making a Clutch song the first of the show. That made me want to watch even more.

[@PapaDutch]

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ~ it absolutely doesn't get any better than this folks! I can almost smell the tacos, tequila, genuine Mexican Cervesa, and the exhaust mixed with the dust in the air I used to live in East San Diego county California. Some things I miss... There is a creativity there hard to explain

[@TheBajaBugMovie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Apocalypse_Cow]

My 1960 VW bug went through stuff that stopped Jeeps and Toyota FJs in their tracks. I am looking for another one in the CT area if you know of any for sale

[@chrisclift7921]

Great movie 👍👍
