What's up Eddie and Stephan? When I met and talked to Stephan at the GNRS back in 2022, he told me his story. Great to hear it again!

Great interview of a living legend.

[@EddyCollins-TZN168]

Glad you liked it. This had to be done. He is one of the most humble persons I know.

@@EddyCollins-TZN168 right, Stephan is a very nice and humble person. Know him when he was living in France and we share some memories.

[@StephanSzantai]

Thanks to both of you! 😊

[@jimgerock9190]

I recall an even older issue of Hot Rod Magazine that featured VW’s. Can’t recall the year, but could be in the 80’s.

[@jimgerock9190]

Google “Volkswagen Classics” magazine. It was put out by Hot Rod Magazine.

[@bux49]

Real Original BRM's !

[@ocavant]

Those are AL flat 4s

[@EddyCollins-TZN168]

Originally had them. These are Flat4

[@Fritter70]

What tire brand and sizes does Stephan have on his car? 5.5” BRM copies?

[@EddyCollins-TZN168]

@@Fritter70 I will ask him

Este vídeo es para que quien quiera ver un coche acabe viendo un señor con gafas?

[@EddyCollins-TZN168]

Así es. Éstos vídeos cubren más a la persona que el coche. Sí, el coche es especial, pero si sabes quién es este caballero, entonces sabes que es muy importante en la comunidad de VW. Saludos.
