Cool, I think some of those cars were in VW Trends?
They look familiar to me from 90s magazines

This one for sure?

maybe from Hot Vw's coverage of the show ( don't remember if this show was covered) this car was owned by Marty Phillips, but to the best of my knowledge it was never featured in any magazine.

I recently found this pic of my first car
Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

I learned to drive a stick in this car.My dad drove it home from the guy I bought it from, then I took the keys and just went out in the desert and learned to drive it. Self-taught LOL
It came to me in primer gray, but it was originally L60B Elm Green.
It had Cal rubber already and the sweet Ansen slot mag wheels you see here.
It had early style seats that had already been reupholstered in blue velour.(very chic).
I (being so trendy) added the "Wink" mirror and the aftermarket Italian style side mirrors. I also added the chrome eyebows and "dechromed the exterior. I added the sidemount antenna in front of the driver door and relocated both license plates to the far right side of the bumpers. I also added '66 taillights.
In the engine compartment I added lots of chrome and painted all the Tin Bright yellow. I added the clear Dist cap and even put the "Hawaiian Punch" can on the coil. It was just a 1600 dual port.
After this pic was taken I added one piece front windows and pop-outs on the rear quarters.
Obviously I had no clue what I was doing or what direction to go in.

I kept this car about 15 years and was T-boned driving to work one day by a lady that didnt see me. People never saw me, it was surreal how many people pulled out in front of me. after that I sold it to some guy for 200 bucks .

yo skim thats my pops buddies car you may have known him he was buddies with doug and louis his name was chris howard he had quite a few bugs through the 80's/90's

There`s more to the story then the picture shows. This photo was taken at one of the Coors Volkswagen Jamboree` in orange county. The place was set next to a very busy street and while the shows would go on there were the occasional hot rod racer trying to show off until one day when this fool takes his yellow oval and does a burn out going around a corner and hits the car in front of him. Completely destroyed the car while the show was going on. Ever since then they put plastic tarps on the fences all around the show.


I remember that day. Before that, you would see the rows of bad ass cars that had already parked and you would be like damn I hope I get to park where people can se my shit.

If my memory serves me right, these pics I posted on page 104 of this thread are from this show.
