Yes i drive them as much as i can.......

the 1st one i got was back in 87 !

and, which one are you most proud of owning....... very hard question and honestly i dont know they are all special my favs are the ones with the most history i.e. the Chop, the Race Shop Ghia, but i love Iguana is just so simple, Arnies DKP1 car has loads of appeal due to him being so attached to the car for so long which makes it special for me. The gates car is superb and to be honest ive never seen anything like it. ever.

I am gratefull to all the people that have allowed me to become the custodian of there cars and allowed me the chance to own and drive them. Keith (UltraVW) and Ivan (Volksworld) have been great friends and guided me to the right people. A special mention also to Kobus Cotraine (a complete gem of a guy) and Randy Carlson (honest guy)

cheers
