  • VW Fox wagon: Eurotuner Magazine feature photo thread (a lot of photos)

    once the new year passed, I acquired the rights to a bunch of photos from the Eurotuner feature my wagon had in the November 2011 issue.

    scattering a few of the pictures amongst social networking sites, I figured the best place for them would be in here.

    we did the shoot on July 20th, 2011, Josh Brown came up from NYC with his brother to set everything up, take the shots, and do the write up etc.
    my friends over at Granite Skate Skatepark in Nashua NH let us take over the park and conduct the majority of the shoot there.
    a bunch of my close friends who helped out with building the car were on deck (literally) to be apart of it, and although it seemed like it was over 100 degrees in the park, we had a blast.

    I couldnt thank everyone enough, but a huge thank you goes out to everyone involved in creating, supporting, driving, dragging, and destroying this car with me.


    so here is an overwhelming amount of photos from the shoot on July 20th courtesy of Josh Brown...




















    cell phone session.




    getting everything lined up... sweating to death








    couple tearout test airs over Randy while he feels the metal...






    pre-flight stretches.




    letting the hands go.
    Danger Zone was blasting over the sound system, it was getting heavy haha.




    this was used as the spread intro to the article






    if you watched the video of the shoot that Eurotuner put up, you'd know we got pretty silly in the tank around the skatepark. I successfully transferred it from one ramp to another haha. the Go-Pro must not have logged that one



    I haven't gotten around to putting reverse in the tank



    a bunch more still to come...

                  and thanks matt! yea they were real stoked to do an "action" shoot for sure.
                  they hadn't shot in a skatepark, or a mini tank before haha, so it was a blast.

                    after the shoot indoors in the heater, we made it outside for some fresh air...

                          yea I sold the wagon about a month after the shoot :/ I miss it everyday.

                          it has changed hands a couple times, and now it lives next door to my buddy Jay in CT.
                          he sent me this photo of it yesterday. sad sight, apparently the exhaust has been ripped off of it and is driving around with just a down pipe. awesome




                          I still have the tank though! no real plans for it right now. Ive been working on my new project(s)
                          Ive got a build thread up on this big girl and my e23 daily too...
                          Post your build threads here! Keep us updated on what you're doing in your garage.
