My sons article in ZOOM
Hi
My son was working for Express publications but was recently made redundant so he's going back to uni to finish the degree he was doing but deferred
to take up this position.
He wrote a really nice article that appeared in ZOOM issue 182, I was so touched by it I wanted to share it with you guys.
Steve

Does that make it all worthwhile, Steve, or what!
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Yes, you should be proud Steve.
But how can some one so big, be born in 1991?
That was only yesterday!?

What a coincidence I was just reading about your 72 super in I think it was issue 3 of fast fours and rotaries just yesterday. There was also an
article on an old Matt berry baja bug as well as another red bug. So verdub's were well represented in that edition.

Hi Guys
Thanks for all kind comments.
He's an only child, we had a few problems having kids. People often ask why we didn't have any more, I usually reply because we liked him.
He's a big lump of lad, between 6' 7 & 6' 8 depending on which 7/11 he's leaving, must be the chicken.
cam070, I think that article in Fast fours & rotaries was in the late 80s or early 90s, I didn't realise that Matt had a car in there as well.
Steve
