Well admittedly, I have been on a long hiatus these past few months, but we're back now with full coverage of the VW Classic! I am excited to report that as I have done in the past 2 years, I will be out to many of the events and open houses that are taking place this weekend. Likewise, time is of the essence. I will have photos up of each event within hours of when they end. So please check back often! Tonight we took in the annual Der Kleiner Panzer meet at Nick's Burgers in Fullerton, California. As usual several new high end cars made their debut appearance at the DKP event. At the end of the event, the Panzers choose 1 car that they feel best exemplifies the embodiment of the traditional Cal-Look Volkswagen. This year's award went to a local very clean Karman Ghia! Be sure to check out the complete gallery here! |

It was on my first official assignment working for Bugorama Promotions that I spotted this incredible Karman Kreation while walking through the spring show field in Sacramento. I snapped a few photos of the car and met the owner, John Towers. After speaking with John for a few minutes and he revealing some of the car’s intricacies, I knew right then a car of John's caliber definitely needed to be on display. Not only at the center of the car show, but also in the center spread of a magazine. In fact, even that would not do this car justice, because the level of craftsmanship in this project could never be revealed in such a small allotment of page space. I knew John's Ghia would be a great addition to our featured galleries here on German-Pride.com! I contacted John Towers and asked him if he had a series of photos from his build. Well folks, we are all in luck. John agreed to share his complete photo line up of over 200 images of the build up of one of the nicest custom ghias on the planet! To view John Towers’ featured gallery, please click here! You can also ask John questions about his car by posting your question in our Karman Ghia Forum! A big thank you to John for sharing his hard work with all of us! |

Drag In 2008 Fontana, California Can you imagine the pain felt of watching your house and most of what you own go up in flames? That’s exactly what happened to Corrie Sachettie. By the graces of God, no one lost their life, and no one was hurt. But the house was burnt to the ground. What does Sacchette's story have to do with a VW show? Well each year for the past 3 Lance Gregory and the Silver Bugget team have hosted a party at Lance's ranch in Mira Loma. Last year they instituted a charity raffle which benefited my good friends Ruben and Grace Zamora who tragically lost their 8 year old daughter. We were able to raise $1500 for the Zamora's and the Silver Bugget crew set their goal higher this year to help a fellow VW brother in his time of need. The guys got together and solicited prizes and donations from whomever they came in contact with. In the end, collectively we raised $2500 for Corrie! That should be enough money to replace his VW T-shirt collection. LOL! Well done guys! 
The party was a blast! Food, beverages, and great conversation were abundantly supplied. This year I was partnered up with non other than Ester Hollister in the annual Horseshoe pitching contest. Ester and I went round after round, making our |
