OK Jeff, you win! What's the story behind the photo? 

We won't go there, but lets say it was toward the end of a series of "youthful indiscretions" including a DKK party at my house in La Mirada that didn't end well. I'm still looking to find out who invited the LA County Sheriff's and their helicopters!

Oh, you guys are serious! Vasteras is to VWs what Chicago was to gangsters! I remember my visit to you guys with Jonas Uhland back in 1996 – if a car sat still for more than three minutes, it had a turbo bolted to it.

Formerly Stockholm, Sweden -since a few months back living in Kalmar, Sweden


Somewhat of a late bloomer when it comes to ACVWs and anything Cal Look related, bought my first bug a restored 1962 "resto-looker-of-sorts" with raw BRMs, OPW, lowered stance etc, at the age of 30 (!) as a present to myself and I was hooked - sold it a few years after to carry on with a project on my own - been a car nut since the day I was born spending all my allowances on Matchless, Hot Wheels and Corgi toys - and I'm passing on that tradition to my kids 

Before opening the door to Cal Look heaven I used to tinker with Austin Minis and I'm a huge fan of cars from the -50-60s... I Still own a 1968 Austin Mini 1275cc dual carb

In between working as a Finance Mngr shuffling figures in MS Excel and being a care taking father and loving husband, what little time left I'm trying to put together my gulfblue 1962 ragtop with some sort of Cal Look influences - any year now...
