I’m talking about our exclusive cover star, the full-scale Sand Scorcher, of course. As a child, I lusted (really!) over the Tamiya Sand Scorcher kit in my local toy store so, for me (and folk of my generation), this is a truly iconic piece of kit. At the end of the day, for many of us (myself included), our VWs are pretty much just big boys’ toys, anyway (something to keep us busy and out of trouble!), so why not have some fun and relive a childhood dream while enjoying our hobby, too? It makes perfect sense! Given the frankly depressing atmosphere (political, financial or otherwise) of late, it was great to see the owner, Mike Downham, really having some fun with his ’Scorcher – and it’s a long time since I’ve laughed quite so much on a photo-shoot, too! But, enough of this month’s mag, I’ve got some exciting news for you regarding the April issue. Next month, we’ll be bringing you a California Look special! It won’t all be traditional Cal Lookers, either – we’re going to push the boundaries a little by checking out something a bit different, yet that still fits in with much of the basic ethos of the California Look. So, stay tuned for this April fuel-fest! Paul Knight Classified car of the week   Regularly serviced. 1600, twin 34 Webers, runs like a dream. MoT August 3rd 2010. Tax exempt.

Inside this issue..    Paul Knight tells the tale of the 2nd-time-round restoration of this slick, RHD Fastback. Owner, Jon Mears has really gone to town this time round, with a super-slammed stance, a Type 1 narrowed beam conversion and much, much more!   Patrick Desoomer gave himself just one month to get his Karmann Ghia together in time for the European Bug-In. It was a tight schedule, but he made it! It was at Chimay that we caught up with one very happy owner!   Five years in the making, Mike Downham's full-scale Sand Scorcher has been a real labour of love. Built on a tight budget in a single garage, this Baja is a tribute to Mike's skills and is more fun than a barrel of monkeys! 2010 events calendar now on Google maps!
