Wolfsburg Warehouse in the 80's and early 90's. Bill Diereckx and Robert Wharton era.

I remember being in there back then. We sure would party hard, but then that was before the sex reassignment surgery. From time to time this dorky deaf guy would roll in on his BMX bike, asking for parts. I wonder what happened to him.

Living on whidbey Island, I would get into the "warehouse"
on a regular basis. It was fun just to hang out there and look at
all the stuff he had. If I remember correctly he (Bill Diereckx)
was only open four days a week. Thursday thru Sunday.
If you needed advice or special parts, bill was always willing to
go the extra mile to "hook you up". I also remember about the time
bill closed the warehouse, there was a fellow running an engine shop
in the back. Wonder what became of him?

Going through an old parts stash we found this box. Frank picked up a pair of early NOS Beetle lever shocks from Wolfsburg Warehouse about 40 years ago.

That would be Jack Morris.

Last we heard he moved to the Salt Lake City area.

Maybe this is his business now:

Are you referring to this VW Warehouse burglary?

Bill last visited the samba on January 21st 2025.

Yes I am. I apologize as I’m not sure if I am responding correctly in this forum..but I know the persons involved and it pertains to a large web of high powered individuals which explains why the police sat by and allowed looting and did nothing. This web is far reaching and goes further than just local police. There is much more to the story than what you may see on the surface. But I can not post the information within such a public format. I also have more detailed information on Fred Morrill also known as Antique Fred. Him having the stolen merch was not just a coincidence. It is a large web, a business, a system a he is involved. He could also have been directly related to the death of Steve Smith. I have already said more than I should in such a public setting. Please contact me directly, [email protected]

I'm not gonna get involved in this mess.
Tomorrow, click on the link I posted and send a PM to Bill and see it he responds.

Everett here keeps a sharp eye on these forums and reads every PM that is sent.
So if you have confidential information, Everett will not disclose it here in the open forums.

I really suggest that you have such vital information, contact the local law enforcement department.

I'M OUT OF this!
