LMAO!! haha.

which kinda type of vw symbol here? which axis to we spin it on?

vwtyp2 路

probably easier to spin your hub caps. :duh

dubbill 路

oh forgot to mention the golden tops just kidding
i told yeah not as good as the holden or ford badges you dont have to spin them at all to see the yobbo symbol馃憤

Scarlet 路

I'd prefer to spin a Nazi at 666rpm and see if he looks like a vw insignia
馃榿

bond 路

heard this once before aswell....

should strap a hubcap to an orbital disc of somesort and video tape it... lol

Schmoburger 路

Think I'll do it! mwahahahha.... or maybe just get the back wheels spinning and get someone to film it hehehehe 馃槀

Schmoburger 路

I just went and spun a T4 van plastic hubcap around on the table (it spins like a top hehehe)... and alas... cant really see much in the way of a swastika.... may still try to spin it faster.... like on a grinder? hehehe :bounce

68AutoBug 路

This one might.... ???

68AutoBug 路

Its been illegal for Germans to have a Swastika of any kind,
Since the end of the war.....
It had a mandatory sentence of something like 5 years in prison.....

I was told this by the fellow at the URALLA war museum..
Thats where I took this pic....

68AutoBug 路

A bit different to this... pic....

so I don't think spinning a kombi badge round would
turn it into a swastika....

unless You were on some kind of drugs....

then it could turn into lotsa different things... LOL...

Go to Nurnberg ice skating competition. It would be easier....

I doubt if this will be shown to be true.

Interestingly enough the BMW symbol is meant to represent a spinning aeroplane propellor. (BMW made the 601 series of inverted V12 engines for the Messerschmidt Bf109s etc.) I never believed that until recently, when a BMW passed me at just the right speed and there they were, a spinning propellor on each hub cap.

kombikim 路

Bf109 inverted V motors were Daimler Benz
that is what DB stands for

koolkarmakombi 路

109's actually stated with a rolls royce engine in them, a Kestral iv

bajachris88 路

WAIT!! I can see it sorta.
Will photoshop to show. BRB

Schmoburger 路

I wasnt being n*entirely honest when I said there was none... when you spin it, you can see what looks to be the outer arms of the swastika spinning... however it isnt a clearly defined one that just sits there... as i said... like a spinning swastika.... but blurry in the middle, so you only see the outside bits. Hope Im making a bit of sense 馃槀

And the blue and white colours to signify the sky and clouds and BMW dominance in this area.

Schmoburger 路

more VW engines in the air than BMW ones hehe... ultralights often use modified 1600's. 馃槀

maybe the swastika is actually supposed to resemble a propeller hehe.... or signify the German's prowess with regards to aviation development... swastika is a symbol of nazi germany, which ccommisioned duilding of high-tech experimantal aircraft during the war, which is linked to Hitler's war, which is linked to Hitler, who is linked to VW's... and shit... Im making no sense.... jeebuz... I cant even understand my self! :duh.... time for me to get some air...

12500rpm - http://www.fallingupwards.com/Random/12500rpm.mov

Looks like a MITSUBISHI Logo!!!!

Not much going on.

Is that sort of an Iron Cross????????? 馃檪

pete wood 路

I'd go with an Iron cross on the last one 馃憤

Schmoburger 路

yep.. I'd give ya the Iron Cross one.... first one looks more like a radiation hazard symbol than a Misterbitchy badge tho... 馃檪

urban_myth 路

I've been told that the speed you can see a swastika on the hubcap of a beetle is 37 mph. Havent tried it yet though.

Schmoburger 路

should be the same for a kombi!... gonna try it some time soon :bounce

shaihulud 路

OOPS!! Sorry. Yes the Bf109 had the Daimler Benz engines. The BMW engine was the radial engine in the Focke Wulfe 190s.

bus914 路

thats 60k, a pretty common limit in metro areas, someone would have seen it.

if my head still works that would be around 500rpm with stock tires assuming that the weight of the car squashing the tire is countered by centrifugal force closely.

fekkinell 路

im kinda expecting to see schmo cruising down the road, hanging for dear life on the outside of his bus staring at the hubcaps 馃榾

helbus 路

Or a pretty cool looking periscope made of old dunny rolls, milo tin lids and bread dough 馃槀

Special Air Service 路

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is where the saying "Hitlers Revenge" comes from. He is supposed to be sitting back somewhere in Brazil pissing himself laughing at all us silly bastards driving around with swastikas on our hubcaps.
In reality I think this is just your normal runof the mill urban myth that has stemmed from the KDF logos and Cog Wheels etc that Lee has posted earlier on.

Hehe... hmmm... might just hang out the sliding door of columbus while fish holds her on a nice steady 37mph down the main street of Berry... much more accurate! 馃槀

helbus 路

I have to say as much as it may sound a little bit mean, It would be funny as to watch you do it and fall out. Not hurting yourself of course. Fish would panic and just drive off, with you jumping up and down going red in the face wondering how you are going to walk the 4 miles back to town.

Sorry I'm in silly mood. 馃檪

Schmoburger 路

Hehehe... is Berry even four miles long???? 馃槀

Checked this out this arvo and yep little propellor spinning around, then on the other side of me was a Falcon and I'm sure the spinning Ford symbol on the hubcap had turned into a steaming pile of dog turd, & a couple of kms later there was a commodore with a little lion trying to lick its own balls.
