Since VW Action's 30th Birthday Party in 2005, we have continued annually to recognise those who have contributed to the VW subculture, primarily in the UK and Europe. All the American individuals and organisations, both those inducted and those on the nominee list, have themselves had a significant impact on the scene this side of the pond. As the list of inductees grows each year, we are more and more humbled to have a part in memorialising the contributions made by some legendary names.

Dean Kirsten (Hot VWs Magazine)
