I went to BugJam 2 (in 1988 I think) and these photos remind me of that, but cooler because they are actually in California and not Bedfordshire ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

My friend Simon just shared a batch of photos he took in California in 1986 on the Back to '89 Volkswagen group on that there face book. I asked if I could share them here too and got the okay, so enjoy this slice of retro awesomeness. ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/admin/41c1846b6fe7.jpg) Ooh, that reminds me of reading Volks World magazine way back in the late 80s. I wanted a Cal' look bug soooo badly. Never did get one, though that one would have done nicely!

Could just as easily be my essex childhood! But probably better quality cars 😂

I love this one. Simple, timeless and beautiful. Although it probably leans more to a autocross style than Cal Look, because of the wider front wheels.

Virtually all of those are rocking Vitaloni Baby Turbo mirrors, I had a pair kicking around here for years....I think the went in one of KFW’s legendary RRG Tat Auctions.
Happy memories of the scene that for me basically spawned the entire Retro movement all those years ago.

Next to that last one, with the Moon discs, is a chopped roadster pick up based on a Type 3 squareback?

Follow your dreams or you might as well be a vegetable.

Could be this? Or another like it: Ah no it isn't, you are right Seth the one in the original picture is a chopped down Squareback not Fastback ... pictures must be hunted down.
