Haha, the old town bike.

I am bound to screw this up somewhere along the way.

Punk Rock Tom owned it. He put the 16V in it (Brian Hjelt wired it/helped with the install) (guessing late 90's early 2000's) and used to run the hell out of it at Rock Falls. Fun fact this car beat VR6 Zach's VR Mk2 (pre supercharger).
Tom sold it to Andrew (aka Biz) in 2005 or so.
Biz and I replaced the gas tank in it one night in my garage (was not super fun)
Biz installed the hatch that Aaron Stehly had built for his old 1.8T rabbit when his car sold minus hatch.
Biz sold it to Alex Mehl
Alex Mehl sold it to Josh Maurer
I am thinking Dusty bought it from Josh.
Dusty put the interior back in it and did a ton of work to it. He sold it to Jimmy
Jimmy Hull owned it from June 2007 and sold it Sept 2007
Jimmy sold it to a random with an S4 that I am pretty sure lived on the west side of the cities.
Tristan at Further ended up with it somehow and It was for sale for some time on Craigslist
VR6 Zach bought the thing from Further and had it repainted, cleaned it up and sold it to HiDef4motion
HiDef4motion sold it to 16vRabbit

This is also the car from the semi famous burn out video where Tom is wearing a WWII looking gas mask so he can see and breathe.

[HiDef4motion]

So close...

Zach purchased it from Further, I purchased it from Zach when I lived in Superior, WI, I then moved to Milwaukee and its current owner purchased it from me.

[VAGatHeart]

Call Tristan at Further if you need details. He was the owner while it was there.

[16vRabbit]

thanks guys!

Is this Tom the same Tom that works or worked for Powder Coating Technologies in Plymouth? I believe it is as I remember when he sold it. I was supposed to buy it from him, but since I worked with him there, never had money.. Small world if so. (you know what I am sayin Tom) Tommy Gun tattoo Tom, Carried thousands of Dollas Tom haha.. Miss that guy.

[20V'er]

Yes same Tom and he is still around the cities and has some nice low riders now. I think he still works at the powder coating place.

I edited my history above and counted 11 owners that we as a group know of. I know Tom didn't buy the car new either, so 12 plus for sure.
