Supa Ninja

All my life I've never fit in. In the early 90's I never understood the whole "mini-truck" scene, dancing beds and hydros just added weight. In 92 when my '72 1302 started its life as daily driver I was never satisfied with how slow it was and I began to learn how to make it faster. Late 90's I began to get involved with VW clubs, I still never fit in cause I drove a "Stuper Beetle". I was begining to creep towards Cal Look cause thats wut you do out here on the West Side. It is fun to go from light to light ASAP but I'm from the foothills and grew up/live in mountainous roads with lots of curves. 135r15's are very scary, everytime I hit a corner I invision popping the bead on my front tires.
After several clubs and hearing coments like "why even bother putting on 8-spokes onto a Super Beetle, they are entry level VW, get a "vintage Volkswagen"... I became a lone wolf.
I've been following the GL since 2000 when I stumbled onto it on the internet(I clearly remember reading how to install a 901 tranny in a bug on Micheal Ghia's website,much props). Anyways last year out of nowhere I typed in www.germanlook.com and the site was up and better than ever, I was home. This is where I belong. I could care less about a Cal Look ghia, a Vintage oval, a Olde Skool notch, but if I see a GL Supa I'm going to have to change my shorts cause I got too excited.
I have a dream of bring Kafer Kup racing to the States(I ain't talking bout that watered down new beetle cup either) and when my 02 is done I will then begin that part of my dream. I want to thank each and everyone of you guys for being a big part of my life. And special thanks to Alex, Sandeep, and Superman for keeping this site up. Thanks!
