I understand its not even written yet, hence its pre order. And this came from a reliable source.

We will have to have patience with this one young jedi's

Perhaps it's the vastness of the internet that's shaped my opinion, but I can't imagine what could possibly turn up in a book like that that hasn't already been shared over the web a million times over.  Seems like the web sites, especially this one, and Hot VWs magazine hold the cards for photographic records of the "old days."

Hmmm, wouldn't you rather have a permanent record in the form of a book in your hands than a lost website or low-res 'stolen' images?

There are still plenty of images out there, and tales to tell, believe me. I have many hundreds of images on file that have not – and will not - be thrown away on the Internet.

Are you hinting at Cal Look book #3? (please)

i remember talking with a guys at the pomona swap meet during my holidays mas tjune , and that guys had tons of old pictures of floppers and top fuel , and i was asking if he had vw race car pictures and he said yes , so i'm started to check all the folders he had and found some cool  photos  , and after i spent time to talk with  him and he said that he was writting a book about vw race car , and that guy was Lou Hart , and we're talking about when that book would go out , and he said , that may be never ,because some stuff have change with the edition company , it was something about money   ... ::)
