Vdub issue 20 is out!
Just a quick note, South Africa’s premiere VW Tuning Magazine, VDUB – Latest issue is out now.
Below is their editors letter
Ok so we’ve moved premises and we’re all set to roll for the last few issues of the year, but there’s something that keeps coming to my attention. Where is everybody and why are they being so quiet? Could it be this damn economy of ours that is creating uncertainty and making us watch our last penny? Whatever it is the scene seems to be very quiet at the moment and it seems as though everybody is winding down for the year. There have been a couple of events though and they’ve been awesome to say the least. The first that comes to mind is the Hot Hatch festival that took place recently at Tarlton. Being the second event that Jeremy and Aldo have put together it was a well planned and executed day that went off with no evident hitches at all.
Another event that we covered was the Spring Stance that took place in Cape Town and saw a shed load of thehottest VW’s, Audi’s and
Seat’s all packed into one place. These boys and girls could teach us a thing or two without a doubt!
Feature wise we have some wicked cars from around the country again. A first however is a Mk2 that hails from PE and is the very proud possession of Amish Raga. He bought the car in a derelict state and has nursed it back to health over time. If you had to look at it you would be forgiven for mistaking it for a ride from some far off place. Next on the list is Muaaz’s tight Mk4 that also appears to be fresh from the shores of California. This thing rides on fat wheels and has a colour scheme to die for. Yusuf, our boy in the Cape was kind enough to send us some shots of a very old school Karmann Ghia that has been meticulously kept and has been introduced to the tarmac by means of a full custom drop. Last but not least is thetrickest Caddy I have seen in ages. It belongs to Shakeel of Low Rider Customs and is the result of loads of bits borrowed from all sorts of cars. On the technical side of things we’ve kept to a simple theme again and the first up was a tyre stretching exercise that Amish helped us out with in PE. For the more performance orientated guys, we strapped a bigger turbo onto Zacks GTiR with the help of Ivan and Jabu at Mr. Turbo and had some pretty wicked performance gains from it.
This is one of my favourite issues and I’m pretty sure that you’ll enjoy it too. -
