On behalf of myself and the rest of the dub-life team, we’d like to thank Jay and Carl of the VW Players for the generosity and thoughtfulness of creating the ‘Paul Webster Memorial Trophy’ which was awarded at the VW Players show at North Weald Airfield in Essex on the 14th September.

The trophy really was special and it was extremely hard to choose a winner for this year, after much deliberation the dub-life team awarded it to Steve Denton for his Brown Audi 100 on air ride and fuchs - something we really think Paul would have appreciated!

The trophy will be up for grabs again next year, so see you at VW Players 2009!

It is with the greatest sadness and shock that I am posting this message on here.

Paul Webster, also known as Websnowbo, one of our prominant members passed away in the early hours of 16/08/08 in an unfortunate accident.

Paul, known to many for some of his awesome projects, including (now my) Baby Blue MK3 Cabriolet with Orange Interior, his Mars Red ‘76 MK1 Golf with 1.8t and colour coded 16″ RS’s and his most recent project a 1974 Orange Swallowtail nicknamed ‘Spit or Swallow’ sure to be one of the most impressive MK1s to date.

His garage has become somewhat famous amongst many of us for being the most unorganised, car and tool filled treasure trove…Literally, if it wasn’t in there…it wasn’t worth having! Due to all this, and Pauls incredible mechanical skills, saw some very impressive metal leaving his garage…

He was also known for his skills in drinking copious amounts of Stella and having a great time, infact Paul re-iterated many a time that car shows for him were about the people and the party, the cars were just a bonus!

Paul was a massive influence on many peoples lives, especially my own and was a huge asset to the VW Scene. He will be sadly missed, and never forgotten.

‘Spit or Swallow’ will be finished by many of his close friends, and will be shown and kept in his memory.

RIP Webs x

(I leave you with these two images of ‘Spit or Swallow’ before Paul got stuck in!)

Congratulations to dub-life member Chris (VRChris) whose recently finished MK1 is currently featured in Golf+ Magazine (July 2008) alongside Phil (Spenner)’s equally as lovely Yellow MK1..Well done boys.

Everyone at dub-life would like to welcome and new face and car to our lineup this year.
Representing the Seat side of things, we’d like to welcome Will to the clan and his super sweet Cupra!!

Welcome aboard mate!

Well, with a week to go to Ultimate Dubs ‘08, dub-life member Websnowbo aka Paul W realised his ‘Spit or Swallow’ project wasn’t going to make the show…So took it upon himself to rebuild a Caddy with a week long deadline…and here are the results..

Lovin’ the work Paul W!

Winter is coming to a close and dub-life certainly have been busy…With some of us trying to combat the winter blues, others have been stuck in the garage getting greasy… Here is a sneak preview of what’s to come in 2008:
