You think you are low? Think again... There is a saying that ‘Low is a lifestyle' -well these guys surely know how to live that life. There are no airbags in sight and still they are able to drive these cars, amazing. I'm sure it is not to everyone's liking, but I can't stop staring at the Karmann Ghia in the opening picture. The car belongs to a group of friends that call themselves the 3 Splines Gangsta's and are members of the Panscrapers crew in Spain. It's cool...

Here's a little JDM Euro style for your Friday. This VW Golf Variant was built by a company called Emu's Engineering out of Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.
It's wearing an Emu's original front spoiler and side skirts, and is dropped on air suspension over a set of 19x8.5 black Work XSA-03C's.
Just another one for the "sexy wagon" list.

The Volkswagen Beetle is anything but a misfit or maverick. In fact. it's more automotive phenomenon than automotive misfit. This particular Beetle though, is built and driven in a way that makes it as unique as any car out there. We're talking high horsepower, dialed-in suspension, wide wheels, and an overall vibe you'd expect from a Porsche 911 and not from an aircooled Beetle....

Now to wrap up my coverage from the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show. While there were a few big cars debuted at this year's show, it also marked the American debut of cars shown earlier at other international auto shows. One of these was the Mini Coupe Concept, which looks amazing in the flesh....

After doing some research for this month's "slammed" theme, I have come to the conclusion that the VW community are definitely ahead of the game. They produce some amazing looking vehicles with minimum effort... Well at least at first sight; when you delve in deeper, you start to appreciate what it takes to keep building these show winning cars. This Golf is a perfect example, at a quick glance it looks like a standard R32 with a healthy drop and stunning wheels. But when we take a...

By popular demand, we've added some of Kevin Raekelboom's fantastic shots of the TUK Customs MK5 Golf to the Desktops section.
Head over there now to find two different shots available in both widescreen and standard formats.

Today I had a job interview in Amsterdam and there I spotted this Scirocco with a full Rieger bodykit, it also had small sticker on the trunk saying MTM. They have a full engine package available for this car, so I hope it wasn't just stickerstuning. Seeing a Scirocco is one thing but seeing one like this in the capital of Holland really made my day. Can't wait for the Essen Motor Show at the end of this month. Last year I already saw several Scirocco's but I'm guessing there will...

We've seen all sorts slammed and stretched cars this month, and not without a doubt Volkswagens are one of the world's most common platforms for this sort of styling. In some cases it can get a bit dull seeing Golf after Golf lowered on BBS wheels, but every once in a while you see a car like this one. There's nothing outstanding of gimmicky about the car, but it still manages to stop you in your tracks. It could be the color, the ride height, or the precise fitment of the wheels, but this MK5 Golf owned by Chris Peacock of Scotland manages to stand out from a very crowded field....

Dropped VWs are a pretty common sight in the international euro scene but it's usually Golfs which are chosen as the starting point for projects; modified Passats rarely show, let alone brand new models. However Johnny Despagne's 2009 Passat CC was a mere 3 days old when it was given the air ride treatment. It's one reason why we continue to highlight the Belgian scene on Speedhunters, members of this car community just love to take showroom fresh Euro sedans and drop them right to the...

This car is getting famous all over the world and has been featured in many VW magazines, blogs and forums. When you look closely at this build, it's clear why it was recently on the cover of Performance VW magazine; this Golf is a top-end, high quality car....

I have seen this car popping up on several blogs and I just found this amazing picture made by Mike Gilbert . This VW Jetta has an amazing stance and the Borbet wheels are the perfect match for it. I especially like the polished lips on the wheels, it's a very nice contrast with the black centers. -Jeroen Willemsen

Another awesome video by the guys behind Wagenwerks, they used their editing tools to good use. It really shows that practice makes perfect. The AWOL theme stands for Air & Water On Land, that's some creative thinking.

Here's a small selection of photo's I found from the Edition 38 event in Northhampton, UK . I almost forgot about this car show, but thanks to a tip I got from one of our readers, I found these photos shot by Oliver Verheij. Oliver shoots photo's for VWfanatics and does it very well I might add. Let's have a look at a small selection I made from his portfolio . In the opening you could have recognized the car that featured in the Wagenwerks DVD trailer that I featured here . It really...

Because of the lack of Japanese tuning shows in Holland I decided to pay a visit to the VW-Speed Summer show . It was really refreshing to see other kind of cars and their owners, both the scenes are a world apart. I had a feeling that inside the VW community there is place for the entire family. The show itself was bigger than I expected. You could wander around outside to see what kind of cars the visitors brought with them or you could take a step inside where you could find more precious metal...

Every July, cars come from all over Europe to MIVW - short for Men in Volkswagen . It's probably Holland's biggest VAG event of the year. For the 2009 iteration, the organizers rented out a huge airport hanger - a pretty cool location! This worked out quite well as the Dutch weather was pretty poor this weekend so we got to check out these cars from the comfort of the great indoors. So in my past two car features, I saw some people were complaining that they are missing the 'Speed'...

Like I said in the Audi TT feature this morning, I used up all my current crop of AWD photos in the VAG month... but I'm sure you guys will like this Euro VW Golf as much as an AWD car, maybe better! This mk4 is owned by Davy, he likes to have everything perfectly finished. A real detail freak! And that's what we like at Speedhunters! Davy's mk4 is running on air suspension... like I said before there are loads of crappy roads here in Belgium and he likes to spare his car from getting...

Well, our VW-Audi month has pretty much come to an end, but there's one last Volkswagen that I want to share - and I think you'll agree that it's worth the wait. Last month at a local VW event here in Central California, there was one particular car that had a constant crowd of people around it. It wasn't a tedious restoration, a traditional Cal-Looker, or a fully built race car. Nope, it was this homebuilt "Hood Ride" oval window Beetle that was drawing all the attention. The owner had driven the car up from SoCal and was super excited to show off all the crazy stuff he has done to his car....
