Firstly, I would like to apologise for the consistent inactivity to the blog. This has been a case of dealing with new projects, work, and also my writing for magazines. But I want to continue as my passion does lie within writing and undoubtedly, this blog started it all and gave me the amazing breaks in my freelance career that I achieved, and that's all to you.
Therefore, with a change in my personal life and my friends heading back to university, I will spend my time more freely with my hub, and relishing a challenge to build my audience once more.
I will communicate with you all in various stages of significance, it won't be in chronological order for now as I build up all the cool experiences I have had, but we will be up to date in time.
Well then, what are you waiting for? Let's get to it.

| The last photo and memory of Lennon, with my new (not so new now) recruit, Tiger Woods. |
Do you remember Lennon, the '67? Well, May rolled around and I decided after a whole year, my longest tenure to date with a car, I decided to sell Lennon onto a new prospective owner. I absolutely loved that car, and I was so very proud to be a part of it since the conception and the purchase in 2014. It was amazing to finally have the chance to write about my car in Ultra VW Magazine, which I have contributed for a whole year now around the time of writing. No doubt this gave me the boost to sell the damn thing.
Lime green seats, never been done in a VW.

Of course, when it came to selling, it was a tough decision, but now I couldn't be happier as my family and I created a whole legacy with varying degrees of respect and nothing but good feedback in the VW community with just one '67 Beetle. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some internet star and I thoroughly enjoy kicking back at shows where nobody knows me but my cars and my name on a few articles. That's good fun still, but I have a few more years under my belt until things get mega.

That was cool. Lime green as a colour has started to seep into the VW scene with people starting to incorporate my trademark hue in their cars, subtly of course. People don't want to be affected or have a bad word against them in this scene.
Don't think that the sale went without a hitch though, it was a bloody nightmare. How does that sound? Apt that this wonderful, awesome car was an absolute pain in the arse from purchase to sale.

| May 2015, a significant point in this car's life. Ultra VW Magazine |
Overall, I was a little bit choked to see the car go but it really did spark something new and close a very important and significant chapter, not only in my life but also within the community, our family created a monster and a very tasteful monster that should have had more plaudits in the shows than we really gave it.
But the next post will explain so much more.
Goodbye,
Xtian
