The cutest chief ever - Cruz Besouro!
Just look at this sweet thing I just bought!
The latest add to my collection, a brand new Team Chief, and how cute it is! This is one of my favourite models from all cars history. The Volkswagen Typ 1. Also known as The Bug or The Beetle. In Sweden we also call it The Bubble.
Born as early as in 1938 in Germany, this car was supposed to be a car for everyone, very much the same idea as the T-ford. A cheap simple car that anyone could afford.
The car came with a slogan "Power through joy" and it is easy to feel joy when you look at the lines of the car, the tiny and rounded shapes, it seems to beg you to just pick the whole thing up in your hand like a small kitten...
Cruz Besouro is the Team Chief of Carla Veloso, the Brazilian racer. And of course that is no coincidence, sence the Volkswagen Typ 1 was manufactured in Brazil. (When WV stoped to make the car in Germany 1978, it continued to manufacture the model in Brazil and Mexico).
2003 the last Beetle was made, in Mexico, and then shipped to Germany where it was placed in a museum. In 65 years, over 21 billion WV type 1, was produced and the car is a remarkable success.
Now it belongs in my garage (or MY museum!) - just look how perfect it matches the other racers and team chiefs:
Now I only need to get Otto Bonn (Mac Schnells team chief), Bruce Boxmann (Lewis Hamilton) and Brian Gearlooski (Rip Clutchgoneski). Yeah, this year Mattel eventually released a team chief for Rip - read more about him here.
Makes sence even though he´s not a character in the movie, but all the Race Cars do have a team chief, don´t they?
Well, it sure does mean that I just got an extra car to collect. Don´t know if that is a bad or a good thing...

Aaaaaaaand we´re back!
Thank you, it´s been a long commercial break but here we are again!
And look what I found!
Or... wait a minute!
First things first. We have got ourselves... another kid!
TA DAAAAAA!
I haven´t been able to decide what Cars character I´would litke to use to show our third son yet, but I´m getting there. It has to be someone cute and small, because that´s who E is right know.
Ok. Back to business!
I believe I left you at: Look what I found:
Petro Cartalina - one of the missing Crew Chiefs!
Had to buy him in a double of course:
Now I´m getting close to get all of the Crew Chiefs, one small step for mankind but a huge leap for every Car Collector of Class.
