Arte & Fusca - The VW Beetle and the Pop Art

HALL OF HONOR FOR:

Sverre Andre Blindheim

From: Aalesund / Norway

Lets know a bit about this honored friend:

I'm a 17 year old boy from Aalesund, a town at the west coast in Norway. I have been the owner of an rusty '69 beetle, which is under restoration at the moment. Hopefully it will be finished this year, and I manage to take the driving licence. J I bought my car in March '99 and became a member of Oslo VW Club the same year. OVWC is Norway's largest club, with over 400 members, and every year the arrange the biggest VW-meeting in August. They also has the record for longest VW convoy in Norway! With 141 beetles in a row. Documented by Guiness record books. I'm also the man behind Volkswagen Web, or VWeB. One of Norway's largest internet sites just for VAG. At the moment its Norwegian Only http://home.no.net/vweb

An example of the participation on the QUEST:


Sverre got in contact with me and sent me the address of his Club's Site. I visited this Site and saw a reduction of the poster you can see on the left. I sent him an e-mail asking for a bigger copy and he did so. It is an advertisement of Luk clutches. About the way he made this picture Sverre said: "Finally, it was time for a photo session! As the poster is way to large to fit into my scanner I had to film it, and then use my tv-card. And then the quality is there after, I wish someone gave me a DV cam to Christmas, but nobody has done that yet."
This is the first contribution I received from Norway, and I'm happy for that. Sverre also wrote some words about the Norwegian VW Scene: "VW scene is huge in Norway, might not be as huge as elsewhere, like GB. But big enough. The club I am a member of, Oslo VW Club (Oslo=Capital City) has over 400 members. All the clubs together, maybe 1500 to 2000?"

Sverre entrou em contato comigo e enviou o endereço do Site de seu Clube. Eu visitei esse Site e vi uma redução do pôster que você pode ver ao lado. Enviei lhe um e-mail pedindo uma cópia maior o que ele fez. É uma propaganda das embreagens Luk. Sverre esclareceu como obteve a foto: "finalmente chegou a hora da seção de fotografias! Como o pôster e bem maior do que o meu scanner eu tive que filma-lo, depois usei o meu cartão de TV. A qualidade é correspondente, eu bem gostaria que alguém tivesse me dado uma câmara digital no Natal , mas ninguém fez isto até agora."
Esta é a primeira contribuição que eu recebi da Noruega, estou feliz por isto. Sverre também escreveu algumas palavras sobre o movimento fuscamaníaco na Noruega: "O movimento fuscamaníaco na Noruega pode não ser tão grande como em outros lugares, como na Inglaterra. Mas é grande o suficiente. O clube a qual pertenço, o Oslo VW Club (Oslo=Capital), tem mais de 400 membros. No total, tosos os clubes somados, podem ter entre 1500 e 2000?"
