Yeah, I was a little put off by the article also. I expect to see an article like that in SCC or the like, but not in VWT.
Honestly, I don't read any articles but the features, sometimes the tech, and this goes for HVW's also. I just like to look at pretty pictures

If a subscription to Volksworld wasn't $80, I'd get it.
But, my new periodical vice is "excellence". My Dad got a subscription for Xmas. It's good stuff. I also pick up "Performance VW" from time to time. If I could find the Euro ACVW mags in stores, i'd get them in a heartbeat.
