I'm Tom. Camera broke when someone wanted to take my picture. Go figure. I have been around VW's and Porsches many,many years. I am 63 years young, bought my first new VW, a 1965 sunroof bug, in June of 1965. August, Uncle Sam wanted me to go to "work' for him. Served my country proudly for 4 years. Got VW training in Wolfsburg Germany. Worked as a VW/Porsche Audi mechanic for many years. Built a 1969 Porsche 2.0 ltr powered bug about 19 years ago with my son as a father/son project (still have the car). Currently, I am building a '69 Squareback with a tube chassis, Mustang II front suspension, sbc350/330hp hooked to a 700R4 trannie. Finally, a narrowed 9"Ford,4:11,triangulated 4-bar handles the back end. I live in Missouri,USA

I know Ian well enough to call him my friend. But he likes nice German cars, fishes, enjoys a drink every now and then, and puts up with me. So I don't care what he's trying to do.

Well --- I am a 57 year old smart ass or dumb ass or, if you are talking to my wife, just a plain ass -- That has just started playing with VW powered things again after a 20 - 25 year lapse.

My Name is Harold Hillhouse -- been known as Weird Harold forever -- I've got a couple of degrees, one in IT, but Operate Heavy Equipment for a living -- go figure -- Been operating cranes as of late.

Was part of the San Bernardino Auto Haus / Moore Racing group back in the late 70's early 80's -- Went to a few of the Bug-ins of single digits and a few in the teens -- Still have most of this group as friends.

I love everything fast -- I've had fast Motorcycles, fast cars, fast boats, fast Fiat, a fast mouth and a slow wit LOL.

I've really enjoyed returning to the VW world and have really enjoyed the group of new friends I've made. 

Current project is the Oval of Doom, a '56 with a 2919 turbo motor in it -- but I've got my eye on a split body so it may become the split of doom LOL

The Inland Empire is the San Bernardino/ Riverside area (some of the surrounding areas gets sucked in) If you have a map of SoCal it is generally the area enclosed by the 210 / 15 / 91 / 215 FRWYs OR The non-Desert areas of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. In the Way Back there was a pretty destinct non-developed area seperating the IE from LA and OC. Now there are houses piled upon houses with no non-developed areas LOL

This use to be the 714 area code then they cut S. B. / Riv. counties off that and gave it to Orange Co. and we were the 909. Then a while ago they gave Riv. Co their own area code the 951. SO NOW the IE is basically the 909/951 area codes. The Desert areas of SB/Riv are in the 760 area codes.  --  WOW did I over explain this or what LOL

My name is Jan, I live in the Czech Republic, I´m 28 with girlfriend and 1 cat. I started driving aircooled VW 10 years ago, started with a ´61 sedan, then purchased a ´66 sedan to restore, but sold it to fund a purchase of my first VW Type 181. In the meantime I used an ´84 mexican sedan as a daily driver. My first type 181 was stolen in 2007 so I purchased another one. Also I dont have an aircooled as a dailydriver anymore.

Ass years pass by I lean towards cal-look style more and more so my next car will probably a clean cal-look bug. I try to impersonate some basic ideas of cal-look to my type 181.

I work as a sales rep for the living, started with Hewlett-Packard printing and imaging devices but as of January I´m going into completely different business.

I drink beer and rum (separately), I enjoy learning VWs and building my new engine, I enjoy taking care of my weekend house and I really like to cook and eat good food.
