Maybe I'm way out in left field but I swear this is an old picture from VW Trends or ? Of Tim Hall's 1st Vw score ?

I just got a note back from Tim, those are his cars and not for sale.

I am 99.9% sure that the photo is from VW trends a few years back. I definately recognize it. Scam for sure, or joke?

Laughing

I've been emailing him since the ad came out, after a while of looking at the pics I started to feel like it was fake because there really aren't houses or nieghborhoods that look like that in S.L.O. Wink and as a friend pointed out why are the trees missing all there leaves already? just doesn't seem right .

Regardless I never recieved any email back from the ad Twisted Evil

That photo is indeed of Tim Hall's collection.
It was taken by Rob Hallstrom, Editor for VW Trends magazine, where it appeared with a feature of one (or more) of Tim's cars.
