Bug Life feature on Stance Is Everything

Bug Life feature on Stance Is Everything

Just over a year ago we brought you the film Low n’ Slow from Stephen Brooks. At first glance we thought these Bugs were those Bugs but come to find out, they are not. Equally impressive, the two ’61′s feature drastically different themes.

HBTV: Depth of Speed – Simple Soul

Josh Clason, HBTV: Depth of Speed

Watch after the jump!

Another excellent piece from Josh Clason and Depth of Speed. The video is treated in a way, very reminiscent of old VW commercials. Josh meets up with Craig Johnson and his “resto” ‘vert T1. Craig also owns a mint Red/Black Samba that has some great rolling shots. Continue reading ‘HBTV: Depth of Speed – Simple Soul’

Watch after the jump!

Wow. This is how it’s done. We’ve been wanting to cover more air-cooled news for all of you and this is a wicked start. Stephen Brooks captures the true essence of the vdub lowlife. In todays age of “baggin” everything, good ol’ classic drops are great to see on the road.

VintageVWChat, FAQ and next live chat.

Hello Vintage VW friends. If you were able to take part last week, you already know about the first VintageVWChat.

What is VintageVWChat? It’s a live global conversation that anyone can take part in. Are you restoring a Vintage Volkswagen Beetle or Bus? Just purchased your first VW and have no idea where to start? Have a daily driver? Curious about Vintage Volkswagens? Just want to say hello? Our next live chat will be 5.14.11 at 7-8 PM Pacific Standard Time. All you have to do is post a tweet and tag it with the hashtag #VintageVWChat.

Hashtags:
The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to mark keywords or topics in a Tweet. It was created organically by Twitter users as a way to categorize messages.

Hashtags: helping you find interesting Tweets:

  • People use the hashtag symbol # before relevant keywords in their Tweet to categorize those Tweets to show more easily in Twitter Search.
  • Clicking on a hashtagged word in any message shows you all other Tweets in that category.
  • Hashtags can occur anywhere in the Tweet.
  • Hashtagged words that become very popular are often Trending Topics.

Example: @erokCom added the hashtag before the word “#VintageVWChat” in his message. The word is now a link to search results for all Tweets containing “#VintageVWChat” in the message.

Using hashtags:

  • If Tweet with a hashtag on a public account, anyone who does a search for that hashtag may find your Tweet.
  • Don’t #spam #with #hashtags. Don’t over-tag a single Tweet. (Best practices recommend using no more than 3 hashtags per Tweet.)
  • Use hashtags only on Tweets relevant to the topic.

We hope you are able to join the conversation on 5.14.11 at 7-8 PM Pacific Standard Time. If you don’t have a Twitter account, you can create one for free by clicking here!
