Thanks guy, another well deserved trophy for Lanny's awesome work.

I really had a great week end, and thanks Ivan for the geat hospiltality from the Volksword crew.

So many nice VW enthousiasts from all over europe and a bunch of wonderful bugs & bus  of all style  VOW it made my day for three days... ;D

And I also had  the icing on the cake, I found a Volksworld back issue from 1996 with this... :o

Lanny you should be rightly very proud of the car

the interior alone is fantastic. Not to mention fit and finish of the tinware , under carriage, wiring etc etc

Yup, it's easy to see why that car is a former Ultra VW Feature Car of the Year! Very cool... 8)

 Lanny - the car is even better in the flesh.  Amazing... love it, love, love it...  ( -the one that got away  :()

 Eric - shame I missed you, I made a flying visit on the Saturday. -would have loved to chat and have a closer look inside the car... hopefully we'll catch-up at another show this year,  -congrats on buying a stunning car  (two stunning cars... ;D)

See you soon,

100% better? ::)

Lanny, I know you prefere the car with the 135/15 as we discussed before, but the braking ability and the ride is fabulous with those 155/55 XAS FF.

I wish you could drive it now to give me your feedback.

As for the look, it is up to each one but I do like it with the 155 as well. It gives the car a nice old school look.

Great car with any tires on anyway ;D

Good points..I'm guilty of choosing appearance over performance. ;D The best driving VW I've ever built has 16" alloys w 205-45-16 (F), 235-45-16(R) tires. Not my favorite look but an amazing car to drive. Light steering, smooth ride and excellent cornering. Can you bring the Caldwells on your carry on luggage?... ;D

Actually Lanny I was very pleased with the Caldwells ( even on snow...  ;D)  but I had to put road legal tires to pass the french technical inspection.

Not sure about the "carry on luggage" transportation tough :D

See you there !
