Not sure on how long it was. I do know it went to japan.

no wonder I never saw it pop up here or on ebay for sale. Sounds like a lot of 90's rides went there.

yeah, alot of bugs in the area went to japan in the early 90's.

Now alot the busses from cali are going to the United Kingdom.

Have fun? I organized that BBQ.

Yeah, it was OK. A lot smaller than I expected.

I started out with Tri-City V Dubs out of Fremont back in 1983 just after I bought my first Notch. Went through two generations with them and then joined West Coast V Dubs out of San Leandro. I tried to join the club in Hayward with Ed and Lou but I was DENIED cause my car had a few shades of primer haha..oh well...so me and my bro stayed solo...Kyle mr rhd

When I was younger not that I am old but in the late 80's around 8-10yrs old there were a few Fault Line VW's in South San Francisco Ca. .

I know this because Darren Giroux had a Fault Line V-Dub. As kids these guys used to skate board a little bit too. They would take us neighborhood kids to skate spots and stuff. The first BUG I ever rode in was a Fault Line V-Dub.
I also believe there was another Fault Line Dub just around the corner from Darren, and I think his name was Ben??? not sure of his last name.

Just seeing the name Fault Line brings back childhood memories for me.
I couldn't ever see over the dashboard on Darren's bug. It was a late 60's like 67 -69 Blue and white two toned lowered. Anyways it would be nice to see Fault line come back around, but aren't most of you married w/kids... J/K
Bring em back, the Bay Can always use them GOOD Clubs to reorganize.

Here's a pic of my 58

I run with Old Volks VW Club and if any of you are still in the bay area check out my post VW Meet in Millbrae California. Check out the pictures link in the posting second page. We had 21 vw's cruise El Camino 4 lanes wide.

It will pretty much be a new club with a few of the OG members running it.

Sweet thats a hell of a good club back in the days. So when Fault Line reunites give us a hollar we shall meet up via El Camino Real and drive till the tires fall off.... :D
