[dbginfo] The latest Hot VW`s is
out,-------------------------------- |
Hot VWs featured BNNTA 2006! The publisher and my boss (Bruce
Simurda) told me that the coverage of the BNNTA event should be in the
next issue. I'm dying with anticipation! Tom Janisewski wrote a
great coverage article and I sent in a bunch of photos, Tom may have
also. So now Tom J. has written for Hot VWs too! |

[dbginfo] Thing Sighting |
Hey all,
I just heard from ABC7 Chicago. They are going to feature my Thing (VW that
is..) on the "Love My Car" segment on the ABC7 Morning news either Monday,
March 12 or Tuesday, March 13 at 6:10am. I'll record the segment and try to
get it on you-tube somehow. Just a bit of blatant self-promotion..

Just another few pages to add to our
illustrious past... A photo and write-up from our wedding has been
published in a huge 2-page spread titled "Love Affair American Style" in
the new book "Campervan Crazy -
Travels with my Bus: A tribute to the VW camper and the people who drive
them" by David and Cee Eccles. The book is only available in the
UK right now, but I ordered mine from
Amazon in the UK.
Josh & Beth's, Andy's, Billy & Julia's,
Jack's, Brian and Dawn's, and Augie's buses are all in the picture, as is
our 57 beetle. I'm surprised he didn't put the picture of the bus in, as
that was one of the best ones I sent him. Oh well... enjoy! Isaiah

Gary White's bus has been immortalized in a new book about Packer fans. The
book is called "Green, Gold, and Proud", and is published internationally by
Triumph Books. The book is available at Barnes and Noble and the Packer Pro
Shop. The full page photo of the bus at last years Jaguars game is on page
51. I am the one in the vintage buffalo plaid, wool hunting suit. The other
guy in the photo is a band mate Jason Berken, who owns a nice '70
transporter. My bus can also be seen in this Journal-Sentinel video about
tailgating:

My wife
has informed me that our '71 Westy is in a photo mural in the Atrium
at Lambeau Field. I haven't seen it myself but I guess it's from a
late season game aerial view. I go to all the Green Bay tkt games
and always get lots of attention from other tailgaters. Our bus is Emerald
Green (Thanks Brian for that info) which is perfect for a Packer bus.
Lot's of great stories from the parking lot so far, like when someone
stole my vintage Pabst sign off the pop-up during the game. I think it was
one of Kid Rock's posse as he was at that game. If anyone's ever at the
game look for our bus near the Oneida Nation gate, I put an old helmet on
top of the pop-up. I am working on getting Jackie some photos for the DBG
site.

See the article on page
12 featuring a beautiful photo of a split window bus with sub hatch, rear
roofrack and safari windows. The article is about the Elkhart Lake
vintage races. The caption under the photo reads "A row of Volkswagens
and Volkswagen buses added to the downtown fun during the vintage race
weekend at Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin." There is no doubt the reference
is to the DBG, and the featured bus is

The DBG's roving
ambassador Bill
Bowman, was a recipient of Common Gear's highly acclimated
"Heroes of Antique Volkswagening" award. This award program was started by Steve Mierz (Common Gear Discussion Group
moderator and webmaster) in 1999 to help recognize those people within the
antique Volkswagen hobby world who have especially given of themselves to help other hobbyists, often with little to no personal gain or attention.

Volkswagening"
CONGRATULATIONS, BILL! |

The 2001 "Historical Classics"
VW Calendar is sponsored by the Chicago Parts Depot, and is distributed by VW
dealers. The month of August features Crusty's Single Cab.
The photo is taken in front of the barn and silo on Crusty's "Barn O' Treasures"
farm.
No doubt that it's Crusty's '60 single (WIS 10811 D Antique License).
Robert Halstrom is the VW
Trends photographer who submitted photos for the calendar. |

Yes, there
was a rare VW article in The Appleton Post Crescent Newspaper from the First Annual Fox Valley VW Show. Our own
Maturity Commissioner was quoted in the
article. John Lago was also quoted in the
article.
It was kind of ironic that the article appeared in the "Wisdom" section.
This is The Post Crescent's monthly magazine dedicated to life's second half!
