The Editor says...
 

Location, location, location... I’m pretty sure that quote could one day become my epitaph! It’s every automotive photographer’s biggest headache, which is why it pains me to admit that I’ve probably upset practically every UVW photographer at some point by banging on about the importance of securing a good location and/or backdrop when shooting a feature car!
However, these past few weeks, I’ve had to eat those words, thanks largely to our great British climate. I’ve been out scouring for a suitable location to snap a car or two, only to be thwarted by snow! And it’s not just a local thing, either... Every photographer I’ve spoken to this week has complained that they’ve been snowed in – it’s a countrywide problem this time.
Luckily, though, we tend to shoot most of our features in the summer months, hence even when the country is at a standstill, Ultra VW still powers on!

Inside this issue..

 

  Georg Memminger is the proprietor of one Europe's most prestigious VW specialists, Memminger Feine Cabrios, and this is his own personal ride. Every aspect of this car is built to perfection making it possibly the ultimate road and race Super Beetle!



 

With 270bhp on tap, Sven Goffaux's 10-second Gemini Bug is certainly one of the fastest VWs in Belgium! Sven's car has already clocked several 10-second quarter mile passes, and there's more to come from this 2789cc naturally-aspirated monster!



 

Which would you choose.. the factory-built, low mileage coupé or the open-top, high-performance Speedster replica? Bob Knight is lucky enough to be able to take his pick whenever he leaves home!
