I'm Ron "Hecker" Hussey ...53 years old married 2nd time for 22 years to my wonderful wife & wicked step mother
to two boys I got custody of in 90-91. My oldest is an Army SGT stationed in Germany, My youngest works for
T.S.A. - Dept of Homeland Security @ Ontario Airport. I was once President of DVB, waay back in late 70's. Hooked
my buddy SHUBEE on the air cooled wonder & thanks to this site found him again after many years. Have owned
a 69 auto stick / converted to stick w / 1835 & 42's-- my first "looker". Had a 64 with REAL EMPI's & 356 brakes, built
trans & Kadrons. Loved that car. Had a 67 fastback for a while before buying a 71 bus. The bus got tube bumpers
and Kadrons -- had a huge sunroof which led to a bunch of guys "navigating" a rally hanging out the roof !! Currently
own a stock / resto/ survivor 67, been garaged since 86. But now I'm driving it every day. (Thanks Bruce)
I'm a partsman for a trucking co that hauls new Honda cars from The port in San Diego to dealers.  Plans for the BLACK
stocker are for BRM's -- kinda the stock just from the dealer look. Livin in the I.E. / Ontario, Ca

Mark, 47 years of age and proud dad to two great sons (Noah/16 & Jacob/18 yrs.). Happily divorced since '96. One girlfriend since 2002. Got rid of the rest of 'em. First car is the orange '66 in my signature below this post. Bought it in '79. Had a few air and water cooled VWs, a Porsche, some rear wheel drive (only) Volvos, and that blue '67 is my current Cal Looker that I bought 1½ years ago.

Here's a recent shot at my friend's birthday party in his backyard. Great bands, great food, good times!


Worked at Volkswagen, Porsche+Audi dealers and parts shops as mechanic, parts dept., and service adviser. Been skateboarding since '72 and surfing since '74. Fishing since I was a toddler, restoring vintage Schwinns and detailing cars since childhood. Taking pictures since I was eight. Was in Der Kleiner Kampfwagens from '79-'85. Thanks to The Lounge, most of that car club is all back together again.

I'm Paul (English) 49 years Old and certainly begining to feel it these days........

I've played Pro Football/Soccer and after that 27 years with VW/Audi  and then with Independant VW/Audi/Porsche Companies as a business consultant. That said I like to take things rather easier nowadays.

I'm currently living in Budapest (Hungary) with my Beautiful wife Eva and teaching English to Children...... I have one daughter ( Laura) who is 18.

I have a Parts collection spanning nearly 30 years and will hopefully (and finally) be turning a hobby into a business back in England, once I can consolidate all the items together in one Country instead of 3...

Thought it was about time I introduced myself,I've been lurking around here for ages.
Well,I'm Jonathan a 31 year old paintsprayer from Chesterfield,England
I've been into Volkswagen's since my Dad bought me the April '91 Volksworld magazine with Keith Seume's No mercy feature in it.
Its amazing the impact a car like that can have on a 12 year old boy!
I got my first bug at 14 and my current '65 in 1997.Unfortunately the '65 has been off the road for a long time now,but this site has given me the enthusiasm to do something about that!
I need to get the 912 I bought at Pomona a couple of years ago finished first.
Hope I can make some positive contributions to the site.Thanks guys.

Yes, and it's a miracle that she's even with me.

And fret not, John... for after this year's Classic, I will not call you a nobody.
