Hi GuysI've just found your website, it looks really good.
I am from Bournemouth in England but currently working in Krakow.
I have owned Cal look bugs for MANY years...
and am a member of a VW Club, JG54 Greenhearts...Best Regards from the UK Cal look Club;

..I love Krakow, but a bit too far to drive my car to work
I will add some pictures soon...
Hi Steve!
It's really nice, you've found us.
The forum is generally written in Polish, but guys here do speak English, so if you'd like to write something in whatever topic, just go ahead.
You will be understood and you'll receive an answer.
Kraków is a very nice place to live and it's not that far from Warsaw after all. Way closer than Bournemouth in England
If your're long enough in Poland, you've probably noticed, that there's a quite large VW meeting beeing held near Cracow on annual basis.
Do you think you could make it to one of our cruise nights?
We're running three events this season - last saturday of May, July and September.
It would be great to meet you in preson.
Of course we do know about your club
It's one of the most famous clubs in Europe!
Best Regards,

Hi Steve
Feel welcome. Good to have you here. Too bad that I haven't an opportunity to meet you guys in UK when I was working @ VWSpeedShop. How Pete is doing? Are you going to Cal-look Drag Day on Pod? I have a short movie from first one that SAS did (the on when Kaaferboy broke his gearbox) have you been there back then?
Feel invited to our Classic and Custom Saturday Night Cruise as Rebel mentioned
.- ahhh, you worked for 'Grumpy Paul'
Yes, Pete / Funkenblitz is OK.
March is very busy for the Club; cars will be going to Ninove (Belgium), the Drag Day at Santa Pod and the Volksworld show.
The last Drag Day I went to it rained
My good friend Alex Taylor ('DefCon3') will be showing another new car at Volksworld -he usually produces a new one (or 2) at the show every year. I will catch up with him at the weekend to see progress...
Hopefully will meet you guys at a cruise night,

Hi Steve
Great bugs you guys have, really nice wheels
I'm pretty sure I've seen one of your cars at Volksworld about 2 years ago, isn't it one of yours? :
I like the colour a lot, what is it?
I'm in the middle of restoration of my bug and have chosen a similar colour but if you know what colour code or name it is I'd be grateful for the info
Are you or your mates coming to this year's Volksworld? I'll be there, it would be nice to meet and have a chat.
Take care and like the guys said already, welcome to the forum
Hi
Yes, that was a club car but was retuned to stock a couple of years ago. Standard engine etc.
It's a factory colour; Anthracite L469
Yes, a few cars will be at Volksworld, and we will all be there at some point. I will be there on Friday to help move some cars in.
Ivan (the Editor of Volksworld) is also a member of our club.
Look out for guys wearing Green Heart tee shirts, and say hi,
Have a good trip!
Thanks for the info regarding the colour, I'll be going to vkwrld on Sunday and will look for the green heart
hope to see you guys there.(Tomasz)
