Keith, Paul, Mike and the rest of the Ultra VW team.

THANK YOU

Excellent feature, information on the history, the original owner, the original driver, the orignal engine, great old and new pictures, lots of new current information and all true and a front cover shot. How refreshing, thanks

See you all in the 10's next SSC here it comes (i hope and prey)

After all the years, I FINALLY got an orange shirt with Underdog printed on it....who'da thunk it? ;D

In the pic, L-R, Ron Fleming, yours truly, Doug Gordon, Gene Berg, Dennis DeMarco and Roy Jimenez.

Speaking of the "Dog".... At Lance Gregory's party the other night, Ron won a prize in the raffle.... Can you guess what it was? Try a "Dog House" fan housing.... It only figures he would!

I hear there is a UD#2 in the works....


Title: Re: new ultra
Post by: larry mck on July 22, 2008, 04:46:45 am
That has to be one of the best covers ever IMHO ;D  Did the photo of me in the DOG, doing the wheelie make it in? I sure hope so. That was a great weekend for sure. I can't wait for my copy!

Post by: Rennsurfer on July 22, 2008, 06:11:41 am
Yeah... so I'm a bit biased. But orange Bugs are beautiful! Especially when they're on the cover of a VW magazine.

Congrats! Great picture.

YEAH!!! Another D.K.K. car in the mag. Congrats! First time that I saw that engine in person, I couldn't stop staring at it. Love the Darth Vader all black treatment. The vents behind the license plate (thanks to Gabbard) ROCK, too. Stupid question, but Bryan's car is in the new Ultra? I gotta find that issue at a bookstore. Or is that even possible in the States?

Not sure if they will have it there yet? As it only came out to us UK lot a couple of days ago, maybe best to give them a call wouldn't want you to waste your time, but hey I am sure for any VW nut a trip to Vee Dub Parts won't be a waste even if you didn't need anything!

Fred, Fab' should not post articles of magazines being currently sold. This will ultimately hurt the magazines in question. Besides, it can/should not be legally done (copyright infringement).

Actually, you're right, Stephan. Of course, in this case, I'm going to buy a copy of the mag. But for all practical purposes... you're correct on all counts. I'm also a photo-journalist and won't post pics from my articles till long after the magazine has been released to the public. Most of my images have still never been posted, however.

Soon as the new issue of Ultra is available here in the States, I'll gladly buy a copy.

Thanks (Big Mouth)

I was hoping no-one would notice  ???

However this photo must have been taken later on its life but is strange as the photo of the damaged shell doesnt have this on it either...... anyway i built this to a specific time and period when that extra writing wasnt on according to Ron F.

Anyone know what Ulta produces different covers for the US? I got a buddy of mine, Raul Fernandez that has his Mango oval on the cover in the UK, but on the US edition it had that black fake 4x4 monster abomination on the cover. The articles are the same, just the covers are different. What gives?

Jeffrey, what's weird... is many magazines do that. Sometimes it's cool, but other times... not. The skateboard magazine that I write/shoot for will sometimes run up to four different covers. Thankfully, I get 'em all. But for the regular retail consumer, it can a pain in the neck if they want to acquire all of 'em.

-jeffrey

Paul likes to mix it up a bit sometimes, they are the same issue, he just puts a different cover on that may appeal to the different market. Last July he put a split panel on the US issue and a 1303 Kab on the european issue, the cover has to have a different barcode and...................................because he can!

anyone want to swap some US issue mags for some European? ;D
