DSV Loses the Roof Rack

Posted on 02 September 2008

Things on DerSubtileVento have been moving pretty slowly as of late, with other projects and issues coming up at work and at home. Now that things are starting to slow down a bit, I’ve been trying to get back into the scene and back up to speed with my car.

As part of those efforts, I’ve [...]

I Don’t Speak French, But Anyone Can Understand Fast

Posted on 22 July 2008

Today I caught on to a discussion in the Waterfest 08 thread talking about the drag racing action from this past weekend.
In the thread and in his blog post, GT R4C3R mentioned that he was fairly unimpressed with the drag racing portion of Waterfest. What he failed to mention was that the fastest car of [...]

Waterfest 14 is a Hit

Text and Photos: George “GT R4C3R” Smolar
I just got back from my first Waterfest and boy was it hot. It must have been 95 degrees with 97% humidity. Either way, it was crazy fun. I cruised to the show with DubsOfQueens, a local group of VW and Audi guys I’ve started hanging out with lately.

Mk3s Have Character, Other Cars Don’t

Posted on 17 July 2008

Many times I’ve found myself at the local VW dealership drooling over the latest German metal, usually right after seeing a fleet of new VWs out on the road or driving past me, but I’ve yet to bite on a newer model.
Each time, when I get back home afterwards and start thinking about my Mk3 [...]

1st Annual Dub Center is a Success

Posted on 25 June 2008

Two weeks ago, Lincoln, NE, played host to over 40 cars at the first annual Dub Center car show. VWs, Audis and BMWs cruised in from around the midwest (plus Georgia!) to converge on Pioneers Park, about an hour outside of Omaha.
Since Mk3Love was sponsoring both Mk3 classes at the show, I drove out to [...]

2008 Porsche & VW Show, Puerto Rico

Posted on 26 May 2008

A few forum members tipped us off to a huge Porsche & VW show that went down last month in Puerto Rico. On April 27, car enthusiasts from the local AudiVWCrewPR and EuroCrewPR clubs gathered from near and far for what appeared to be the 9th annual event.
We have Radames Torres to thank for all [...]

Primer - Moderator’s Choice Winner

Posted on 22 May 2008

Primer, an event put on by Yarrow Thorne’s Yarrowsport, has roots all the way back to 2004 when his company opened its doors at their new location in Providence, RI. This year’s event on May 10-11 went off in a fashionable sense with new classes and just as many cars as ever.
One of our forum [...]
