Title: URGENT! BEETLE NEEDED FOR DISCOVERY CHANNEL SHOOT!!
Post by: RickyG on May 27, 2010, 11:23:20 AM
Hi,

The discovery channel is coming to shoot our electric Beetle THIS AFTERNOON (May 27th). The producer wanted to also show some regular gasoline beetle and compare the two. The shoot is going to be in south Richmond area this afternoon from 1-5pm. If you have a beetle and is willing to come out to get your car featured, please call me at 778-388-0806 ASAP. Even if several of you come out that'll be great too, we can have a cruise and they will get some rolling shot of the vehicles driving around town.

sorry about the urgency, I just got a call from them right now.

Cheers!

That is awesome.

Those on witness protection will not show-up. And neither those that have not got their air-cooled VWs ready.
