I got into VWs in general in July (i think) of 1999, when I bought my 72 Super.
I first realised that I wanted to do a German Look car when I recieved my copy of Hot VW's with a Silver 68 sedan on 17" twists. I don't remember the month, but it was an issue from 2000.
After that, it was all downhill. I began to be more involved with SBO, which didn't help the situation at all
Started doing research on how to fit the wheels, brake and suspension upgrades, the whole nine yards.
What keeps me going is simple. First off, GL.com keeps me interested. Most importantly though, it's what I have yet to do that keeps me going. The ideas I have not executed yet. The "what if" factor.
The most exciting part about German Look for me? Teaching an old dog new tricks. Innovation. The desire to be different.
Perhaps the number one thing that I love about the German Look, over performance and all the other things that make GL special, is beauty. I love making something that's beautiful. I guess that's the artist in me.
