Bug Jam DVD

Now that the show season is over for 2005 you
may want to reminisce over some of the good
times. One way to do that is to buy the Bug
Jam DVD. Packed with VW racing, awesome
music, show cars, Mr and Mrs Bug Jam and
fabulous people, there will be plenty to keep
you entertained. Bug Jams wining formula has
been bringing people back to Santa Pod for
19 years. So if you want to relive the event or
check out what you missed out on, this is the
DVD for you.
I t’s that time again. The annual California
Look special is here. In fact, it’s our 10th
anniversary Cal Look issue, and we’ve
gone all out to make it the best magazine we
could. I don’t know what it is about the annual
special, but it seems to be the issue readers
talk about the most, and from what I gather,
one that you tend to keep as a reference tool.
The funny thing is, I’ve heard a handful of
people say they are either bored of Cal Look,
or even that Cal Look is dead. From the quality
of cars being built, it’s hard to see how anyone
could fi nd them boring, well, not someone
who has the ability to appreciate the hard work
of another VW fan. I don’t think the quality has
ever been higher or the intense passion has
been at such a level in the U.K. And so, I’d
have to argue that California Look is far from
dead, it’s not a trend, it is a massive part of
our world. I’d agree the style may not fi t in with
the personal tastes of some, but to many it is
the sole focus.
When it comes the content of the magazine
together we always plan ahead, but even so,
we couldn’t get the front cover car into the
studio until the day after the deadline for the
cover. The reason was all four wings were off
the car being painted, as they had Robri gravel
guards fi tted which the owner had decided
he didn’t like. Rather than have the car on the
cover as it was, he was adamant they had to be
removed before the car could be shot. Well, it
was very much a case of ‘hold the front page’,
but I think you’ll agree, it was well worth it!
The club shoot on The Greenhearts showed
you have to suffer if you want to live the dream
in the U.K. The South Coast in November is
slightly different than the West Coast of the
U.S.A in terms of climate, it doesn’t help
when the cars don’t have heating! Still with
12 club cars to shoot we had to do it whatever
the weather. My thanks go to Pete Roberts of
Funkenblitz in Portsmouth for arranging ev-
erything, and the club members for braving a
very cold and wet day. You’ll be able to see the
club cars at The VolksWorld Show this year.
I’m running out of space now, so on behalf
of the whole team on the magazine, we hope
you enjoy this issue.
Bud Vases
• Who? VW Vases
• How Much? From $19.95
• Web: www.vwvase.com
Here’s one for the New Bug fan; hand made Porcelain
bud vases. These used to a popular accessory in the
air-cooled Bug and have now been redeveloped to fi t New
Beetles. Made in the USA, each vase goes through a time
consuming process of hand fi nishing before being glazed in a
colour matching the New Beetle range. They fi t perfectly and add a
nice bit of colour to the dash board. Log on to the website for more info
and different designs.

Now, here is something that defi nitely deserves a shout. It is a new website launched by the Volksrod
club purely dedicated to the world of Volksrods. And with the trend growing fast, the timing is perfect. So
whether it’s the love for the Beetle that gets your pulse racing or if airbrushing and pin striping is more
your style, start sharing the passion today by visiting www.volksrods.co.uk where there is always someone
out there willing to help with any problems or questions. Remember a problem told is a problem solved.
