I know HOT ROD Magazine is fairly easy to get in Europe; so you might be interested in the August 2007 issue, which just came out about a week ago.
There is a 10-page article about the hi-performance VW scene, with pictures of DKP cars, DAS Drag Day, etc.

Nice Stephen. Could this be a return to the mid 60's to mid 70's when it seemed every issue of Hot Rod had a hop up article on VW'a. DDS and Empi used to always have an ad in the back of the Magazine. Very Cool Grin

I have been checking their boards to see if we get any crap from the "hot rod" guys. I have found that over the years even here in the Motor City of Detroit I still get some respect from the traditional muscle car guys. I always keep some old magazines from the 70's laying in the car to show them. There is usually someone that comes up with a "there was this badass bug" back in the day story. Very cool article. One qusetion I have is that it looks like some new  blodd in the DKP. It has been 4 years since I have been out there. How about a update on new members and rides.

I finally got my copy of the Hot Rod magazine at the newsstand! Congratulations Stephan, it's an awesome write-up of the current VW hi-performance scene, a perfect insight for everyone not yet familiar with the "dub thing". And I'm sure it might rise an eyebrow or two among the V8 guys.  Cool Very cool!
