Danny "DAN-O" Olortegui
Funkengruven VW Club Founder
Souther Californian, born & raised. Driving VW's since I was 13. First car was 1971 VW Squareback. After serving 22 years in the NAVY, I bought a 1964 VW Bus and added my style to her. Her name is Caribbean Queen. Entered my first show in 2020 at the 1st annual Dubs & Beer Car show in San Diego, CA and won Best in Show. That started it all. Now living in Texas, she goes out every weekend for a cruise or two. She has done weddings, winter formals, proms, parades, & more. Featured in VW trends Magazine and a Japanese VW magazine called, Let's Play. Favorite celebrity to pose with the Queen... toss up between Jason 'wee man' Acuna and Bumblebee!
