'How low can you go?'; what a great question! Jonny Granvold has proved that he can go far lower than most, and without the use of fancy hydraulic or air-ride suspension, at that! I just know you're going to love the story behind his super-slammed Samba, which was driven more than 24-hours from Sweden to Belgium, where we bagged some exclusive feature images for Ultra VW. And, of course, there's much, much more to see in the new, October ’08 issue of Ultra VW! For instance, there's a five-year celebration feature, which includes the top feature cars, highlights and favoured events of the entire Ultra VW team. Trust me, picking a single, favourite feature car from the past five years was not a simple task! In fact, this feature caused more than a few heated discussions around the office, so I'm sure it'll cause quite a stir with you guys, too. And let's not forget the full and detailed feature on the Jägerbug race car. Yes, after an extensive 10-part build-up series in these very pages, it's finally time to check out the finished article. Kudos to the Jägerbug team (Fl4tlanders VW club) for pulling it off. You guys deserve a little glory for your triumph of teamwork. OK, that's my lot for this month... I'm about to set off for Bug Boogie now - if you can't make it along, I'll fill you in on the details in the next issue!
