Special Thanks : First of all I want to thank my brother Jeff for
getting me into VW's in the early 80's. Also want to thank my
mom Vicki. They have always been my biggest support. They
both passed away in 2003 and I miss them dearly and love
them.
I have so many friends to thank I don't know where to start. I
want to thank all of my buddies from the "Original" Tru-Dubs
in Florida...you know who you are. All my buddies from East
Side Pompano Beach,Fl...I miss all of you so much !!! A big
thanks to Jim for building the Ratto Monster,all the guys from
Buggy House since I started going there in the early 80's. All
my friends in the New Tru-Dubs. All the friends I am meeting
in the local clubs. I love hanging out and talking to you all.
Friends are a huge part of my life.
To my closest of friends I want to thank you for all your help
and support
on my car but helping me through the hardest times of my
life. I wouldn't be here without you.
