I think Lanny got into VW's a few years before me, I bought my first in 86 but was into them and saving money from around 14years old. Pete Sold the black car and later had a nice 58 Coral Cal look car for a number of years but has since gone into 4x4's
As for the scene, It has been around here since the 70's with many feature cars in Trends and Hot VW's
A lot of very nice local cars have come out of Vancouver and surounding areas over the years. Anyone seen Bad 55? I heard it got damaged in a fire?
