Fri Jul 08, 2005 5:22 pm

Hey all you Empi geek's, vintage speed freaks and collectors and anybody else that cares. I heard through the VW grapevine that the original "Inch Pincher" has been FOUND and just might make an appearance at the VW Panic in Upland California This Sunday. Don't take a chance and miss out on this rare occasion. Come down and hang out and get a few pic's of the car that's been missing since who know's when. I'll be there FO SHO !!! I won't tell you who own's the car now but if you show up you'll find out first.

Well SORRY guy's !!!! :oops: The car didn't make it to the Panic due to the owner had trouble with his trailer. But the "Inch Pincher too" is definitely found. The Owner of the car called Gary Justice the Promoter of the Panic and apologized for not being able to make it to the show. But DEFINITELY the car is FOUND !!!! :D Well I guess we are all going to have to be alittle more patient and see if it'll make it to the next show. BUT I DID SAY "MIGHT" make it. :wink: So It wasn't like I was lying BRO'S 8) We will see it soon. soooo RELAX

Let me guess, after the trailer had problems the owner called Gary Justice and said:

"SORRY 'BOUT THAT!"

Hee Hee couldn't resist being corny.

That's cool ! :lol: Since I heard about the Inch Pincher deal I've also been hearing alot / finding out more about the guy that own's it so Now I've made it my mission (because I got nuttin else to do) to really find out what's up cuz shit man ! I am very embarrassed about breaking out with this new's then get shafted :oops: :oops: :oops:

No worries Johnny..........happens all the time. See what you can find out and let us all know. Sometimes the "best" of information turns out to be someone else's misunderstanding. I'm sure the"Panic" was a great show without the "Inch Pincher" and nobody can hold THAT against you. This "dream" has been chased for a long time, and who knows, there maybe something to all this. Keep us posted. 8)

Who knows what to believe. It's an interesting story though.

Thanks for the link. I'm more confused now but I still would like to see this car and get all the "players" together to be sure. Even if it's "just" a DDS car........it's a great find. :wink:

I'm aware of the link and I beleive that Blaze is just "BULLSHITTING" all of us. It was cool thinking that I was going to see the Inch PincherToo last sunday but oh well !!!! I'm still wanting to meet this Blaze dude just to check out the car he has anyway.

My bad !!!! Sorry Bob this is getting real confusing for me. Inch pincher this Inch Pincher that. Inch Pincher III is also in his collection right :wink:

Blaze is pretty cool, I don't think he would bullshit you. His old Race shop Ghia is an awesome example of a vintage racer. :wink:

I don't know where #3 is. I thought it was in Japan but someone told it was in England. The new Volks World has something about an Inch Pincher..........but I haven't read it. It's all so confusing. :? I kinda hope this is the real deal but I also like the possibility that it's still out there laughing at us. 8)
