Hey! I’m Roy Spinder, A young dutchman, mechanic by trade and a dude who loves (classic) car traveling & roadtrips. And ofcourse the man behind the Volkswagen beetle.

I made this website to tell a bit more of the stories behind all my Instagram photos.

I’ve always been an classic car enthusiast, and i use my cars where they have been built for, Driving!

Before i got my baja bug i have done a 7000 kilometer roadtrip in my 1971 Lancia fulvia through Germany, Switserland, Italy, Monaco, France, Spain , Belgium and Luxembourg,

A couple of years ago i also did a short roadtrip from the Netherlands to Poland where one of our mates was studying, this time in my 1974 Volkswagen beetle!

In 2019 tried to make one of my dreams come true, do a lap around Australia, and ofcourse a big trip through the outback.

As you all probably know the 1964 Baja beetle is my trusty travel companion, which i bought and modified to travel with in Australia. Unfortunately not everything i wanted to see worked out because we all know what happened with Covid in early 2020. So sadly enough i wasnt able to visit the Northern Territory, Western-Australia, South Australia and Tasmania. Which ofcourse means i have to go back to have another go at it 😉

Ofcourse i couldnt leave my trusty Baja behind, so she got a well deserved cruise to europe. So more adventures are yet to come!
