That's got to be one of the most well thought-out vehicles that somebody has ever done. Magazine quality!!!

Was the camera rolling with you in a side car? Or was it stationary as you zoomed by? (how fast were you going?) I'm just loving the motion effect and was curious.
Great pictures, great mods, a very inspirational car and most definitely my favorite bug here on the org.

Actually, truth is this. Lam was kneeling (stationary) on the side of the road, and had me drive past, only moving about 35 - 40 mph when that shot was taken. I don't know exactly what kind of camera and lens he used. Perhaps he'll chime in here and offer up some additional details. I will tell you this however. He's become an incredible photographer!!

P.S. Thanks for the props on the car. It's really quite gratifying to receive all the wonderful compliments and comments, and know that all of my time, planning, design and hard work can be appreciated by someone other than myself!

Ahhh......there's light at the end of the tunnel. A hint of Spring in the air. Just a few more weeks, the weather will have cleared and we can get the show season underway.....beginning with Dubs On Defrost on April 3rd, and the Long Island show on April 11th. Can't wait!!

Startin' to get prepped for the '10 Show Season! Damn I LOVE this time of year. Saturday April 3rd on Sherwood Island in Westport CT (Dubs on Defrost 3), Sunday April 11th at Legend VW/Porsche/Audi on L.I.

Hope to see some of you at either of these events, and have a chance to meet "face to face"!

You should bring this beauty to TOD so I can see her in person.

[Hollywood]

Would love to check this out, but don't know if it's in the cards for this season. We'll see....

Wunderba

Well thought-out, extremely well executed modifications.

U DA'MAN!!!

Can't wait to see it in print soon, maybe Volks World?

[Hollywood]

Maybe..........or perhaps another well known publication!!

[AbuNigel]

I hear you keep your Ruf bug extremely clean. No surprise of course. Do you do it yourself?

[Hollywood]

How'd you hear? ha ha

Yeah, I've been showing/concouring cars for years and have gotten it down to a bit of a science. It just makes it hard to drive though. ha ha.

[Hollywood]

Should have some shortly! Stay tuned!

Dan,

Thanks for the kind words about the car. Much appreciated!

As far as the sticker, I don't want to make you have to pay postage to mail it to the states. Thanks for the offer though. Ruf/USA has been really helpful & supportive of the project, and hooked me up with all kinds of schwag!
