VW Campervan is the most famous campervan in the world. They pioneered the campervan world as we know it today back in the 1950’s. The combination of a compact van equipped with all the basics of your home was & still is the most practical combination to explore the world far beyond the imaginary fence of your home. The words freedom & adventure are what to describe these vans. And now, they are here in Indonesia & available for rental, for yourself or with your family, friends & loved ones, for a weekend camping or simply a day trip picnic outside the town.
VW Campervan adalah kendaraan campervan yang paling terkenal sedunia. VW memelopori jenis kendaraan yang sekarang disebut campervan ini di tahun 1950-an. Kendaraan jenis ini sangat populer karena Anda dapat membawa rumah secara praktis untuk dibawa jalan-jalan keluar. Bebas menjelajah adalah dua kata yang sangat jelas mendefinisikannya. Sekarang, campervan ini telah hadir di Indonesia & tersedia untuk disewa untuk Anda sendiri, atau untuk mengajak sekeluarga camping di akhir pekan atau piknik keluar kota, bersama teman atau siapa saja yang Anda cintai.

Duo Kombi Camping at Gunung Pancar

Posted on August 2, 2019 by Jakarta VW Campervan

I can’t remember exactly how many times I have done camping at Gunung Pancar. A friend of mine just bought a standard 1977 VW Kombi & wanted me to accompany him camping with his children (& his dog). So here we are, in June 2019, did another camping there.

Left – right: Lala, Calvin, Nelsie (8yo female all-black German Shepherd), Patar, myself & the two male Beagles (Mero & Matano)…

Campervan camping at Gunung Pancar…

This camping spot, ‘Lembah Pakis’ is the one that we like the most at Gunung Pancar camping ground. The field is flat, not too big. The toilet & musholla is very near by.

In the clear evening, we walked out the dogs & the children…

The two VW Kombi: 1977 & 1979…

Camping at Tahura Bandung

Posted on August 1, 2019 by Jakarta VW Campervan

Taman Hutan Raya Ir. H. Juanda (lt. Grand Forest Park of (engineer) H. Juanda) is a conservation area and botanical garden in Bandung, Indonesia. It covers 590 hectares, stretching from Dago Pakar to Maribaya.

Its altitude ranges between 770 and 1330 meters above sea level. Its fertile soil sustains about 2500 types of plants, consisting of 40 familia and 112 species.

The park was built by the Dutch colonial estimated in 1906, when they began digging a water tunnel for a hydro dam. The water plan was cancelled later, the tunnel was enlarged adding more rooms & became a military facility. Today the tunnel is so called Goa Belanda (Dutch Cave) & is one of the main attractions at Tahura park. The original tunnel is 144m long, 3.2m high & less than 2m wide in both entrances. However the total length now is about 550m including all alleys inside.

On July 2019, for the very first time, the park authority issued a permission to our group to camp just in front of the tunnel. It was possible because we also conducted the Jungle Night Trekking for the first time, as well. It was a quiet experience walking for about 3km inside the dark park, including exploring the Goa Jepang (Japanese Cave) at night time.

A good condition 800m long black top road is available from the entrance to the Goa Belanda. We drove in our campervan to access the camping ground.

Here are some photos:

The direction sign near the main entrance…

The Campervan & camping ground is located right next to the Goa Belanda…

The tiled camping ground…

Since it is located inside a protected forest, bonfire is prohibited. However toilets & musholla are available, including food stalls…

The view from the roof tent facing the forest of Cikapundung river valley…

The Tahura was quiet by Sunday morning…

The campervan can accommodate up to four adults: two inside the car & two in the roof tent…

Jungle Night Trekking: inside the Goa Jepang…

To camp just next to Goa Belanda using the Campervan & the Jungle Night Trekking are very interesting experiences. Please contact the Tahura Juanda management if you are interested to do the same.

Queen Beetle

Posted on November 14, 2018 by Jakarta VW Campervan

Legendary rock band Queen has been inspiring millions since their London formation in 1970. With the charismatic, musical genius front man born Farrokh Bulsara — aka Freddie Mercury — (Lead vocals, piano), Brian May (Vocals, Guitar), John Deacon (Vocals, Bass) and Drummer Roger Taylor (Vocals, Drums).

Queen has represented musical vision and freedom through their pioneering and creative approaches to composition and poetic, on-point song lyrics. The band continues to earn new fans of all ages and backgrounds 48 years after their initial formation.

It has been a Bohemian Rhapsody fever here in this country. As a fans of Queen myself, since 1982, I’m posting these photos of our 1963 VW Beetle accompanied by quotes taken from Queen’s songs, lyrics or a comment.

I’m in Love with My Car
(Writer & vocal: Roger Taylor, album: A Night at the Opera, 1975)

Is this the real life? Or this is just fantasy?
(The first lyrics from song Bohemian Rhapsody, album: A Night at the Opera, 1975).

“Can anybody find me somebody to love?…”
(A lyrics from song Somebody to Love, album A Day at the Races, 1976).

Crazy Little Thing Called Love
(Album: The Game, 1980).

Loneliness is my hiding place. Breast feeding myself…
(A lyrics from song Life is Real (Song for Lennon), album: Hot Space, 1982, written by Freddie as dedication to John Lennon’s death).

Fat Bottomed Girls, you make the rockin’ world go ’round…
(A lyrics from song Fat Bottomed Girls, album Jazz, 1978).

“Don’t stop me now, I’m having such a good time…”
(A lyrics from song Don’t Stop Me Now, album Jazz, 1978).

‘She’s a Killer Queen. Gunpowder, gelatin, Dynamite with a laser beam.
Guaranteed to blow your mind…”
(A lyrics from song Killer Queen, album Sheer Heart Attack, 1974).

“Boredom is the biggest disease in the world, darling…”
Freddie Mercury

Another one bites the dust
(Album: The Game, 1980).

He is the Hitman, the great pretender, Mr. Bad Guy, just a poor boy, the invisible man.
He’s Freddie Mercury.

“Las palabras de amor. Let me hear the words of love…”
(A lyrics from song Las Palabras de Amor, album Hot Space, 1982).

“God knows I want to break free…”
(A lyrics from song I Want to Break Free, album The Works, 1984).

“Queen songs are not about the life of a rock star – they tend to be about the lives of normal people, which is why I think the songs connect so much with every generation…”
Brian May

Who wants to live forever
(Album: A Kind of Magic, 1986).

“Spread your little wings and fly away..”
(A lyrics from song Spread Your Wings, album News of the World, 1977).

“I used to take a nap in a van & listen to Queen.
Over & over again, & drained the battery in the van.
Than we’d be stuck. That happened a few times.
We’d be stuck with a dead battery because I’d listened to Queen too much…”
Kurt Cobain

VW Beetle Camping

Posted on June 28, 2017 by Jakarta VW Campervan

Two weeks ago, during the fasting month of Ramadhan, my friend & I went for a camping at Ciapus area, Bogor, about 65km away from Jakarta. This time, we drove our Volkswagen 1303 Super Beetle. I was by myself & my friend brought his 3.5yo daughter & 6.5yo all-black German Shepherd.

The road is pretty much in good condition, though we had to pass some bad traffic areas & several hundreds meter of bad road. The camping ground elevation is about 400m, so not that hot neither that cold, by the foot of Salak mountain in the middle of pine forest. Good thing is, the cell phone signal is acceptable, so you are still connected to the world…

Other good thing is, due to fasting month, there was only us in the camping ground; 3 humans & 1 dog. Felt like our own personal camping ground. We were also allowed to drive our cars & parked them inside the camping ground. On normal days, the cars are parked outside the camping ground.

The toilets (squat type) & bathrooms are available with clean running water, spring water. The toilet is lit at night. Also, places for wudhu or washing your dishes are located in the same area, about 50m away from our tents.

Actually some shops are available there but all of them were closed during Ramadhan. When they are open, instant noodles, snacks & hot-cold drinks are available. Rice & heavy dishes only available upon request.

There is a pool on the nearby river where we can swim safely. The spring water is clean, clear & fresh. The size is about 10m x 10m. The deepest part is 150cm with rocks on the pool floor. The location is about 100m from our tents.

The name of the place is purposely not written here to maintain the ‘privacy’. Please contact us directly if you are interested to visit it.

Here are some photographs with some famous camping quotes:

Visiting Terror Garage, Bandung

Posted on April 25, 2017 by Jakarta VW Campervan

Last weekend, SBO (Super Beetle Owner) Indonesia community had an opportunity to visit an extra-ordinary the one-only place in Bandung, called Terror Garage. It’s a workshop, a shop, a personal gallery or you may call it an automobile museum, displaying rare, exotic & collectable Volkswagen & Porsche cars. Nobody feels comfortable to talk about the price, just enjoying the cars…

The gallery has two stories. The RWB custom Porsche are displayed on ground floor. The rare classic vintage VW & Porsche are displayed on the basement.

Here are some of the pictures to share, for your eyes only…

There are five Porsche on the ground floor; four are RWB custom & one is standard.

The Silver Porsche 911 RWB

The Porsche 911 Speedster with a removable aluminium roof

The aluminium roof is designed & manufactured by Terror Garage, claimed to be the one & only in the world.

The Blue Porsche 911 RWB

The RWB rear wing: tall & complex aerodynamic design but beautiful.

The Green Porsche 911 RWB

1954 Rometsch Beeskow (I bet you have never heard it before), a cabriolet made by Rometsch karosserie using VW Type 1 platform. There are only 32 confirmed survivors worldwide & one of them is displayed comfortably here. A 3rd seat was installed behind the driver seat, turned by 90 degree, facing sideways…

In total, there are 13 super high value cars here in the basement…

A very well built Volkswagen Type 14 Karmann-Ghia. There are two of them here.

There are also two Volkswagen Type 34 Karmann-Ghia…

There are three Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle split-oval (1946-1952). The left one has an original paint with the original European license plate somewhere…

A very rare Volkswagen Type 2 Deluxe Microbus aka Samba with 23-windows & original two-tone factory paint design.

The 2nd VW bus is the early version of the T1 (untill 1955) aka Barndoor or T1a.

This is a Volksrod or Rodbug, a rod-style custom VW Beetle, & built from an Oval Beetle (1952-1958). Builder: unknown, but I suspect it was Terror Garage themselves…

I think the most unnoticed displayed car is this Volkswagen Type 3 (1961-1973), Squareback aka Variant…

The only Porsche displayed here is Porsche 356, the Porsche’s first production automobile (1948-1965), therefore it’s one of the most hunted by Porsche collectors in the world. This particular one is the Porsche 1500S (1500cc engine, Luxury version).

The owner of Terror Garage is also a collector of VW & Porsche diecast models. There are more than 1 thousand pieces in this rack…

One cozy corner in the gallery

Get your calculator & start estimating the value of these six piece of fine German metals.

One high-value property is this Tempo Matador, the only one available in the country. Tempo Matador is built by Tempo company in German using a front mounted 25HP Volkswagen 1100cc motor & front wheel drive.

The 3rd Type 14 Karmann-Ghia, slammed & narrowed, custom-built by Terror Garage themselves.

A custom Beetle built by Terror Garage.

A Barndoor ambulance in rat style.

A dragster bug

Unfortunately the gallery is not open for public. Nevertheless, the owner of Terror Garage welcomes for any VW clubs or communities to visit by appointment.
