D.B.O. Not a club; a state of mind.
« on: December 20, 2009, 02:24:03 am »
Today, there was a car show hosted by Foreign Fantasy at So Cal Imports in north Long Beach. We stopped by for a little bit and saw a few friends, there. Only took a few pics.

Haven't seen this car, in person, in almost thirty years.


Guess that the 1641cc has been replaced.


Hard to believe that it still has the old vanity plates after all of these years.


My good friend, Pip, was present with his car and club.


If I had a Split, this would most likely the view I'd never tire of.


Turbo Notch', anyone?


D.B.K.


Another '50s vehicle.


Sometimes, if one delves deep enough and reflects... objects from the past loom forth.


Since I was a kid, I've always had a soft spot for these wheels finished as such. In another several decades, I'll feel the same way.

Thanks, Robert... hope that ya got your carbs to cooperate. Don't worry, we left our VWs at home. Only way I was bringing mine was if the rest (or most) of the DEEKS were showing their cars. Mark R. and I decided to meet up there and just check it out. Very close to my house... so I went.

Thanks, T.Fabs. Yeah, I got to speak to the new owner. He's got some really cool plans for the car. Can't wait to shoot more pics of it after hearing about the goodness that's about to take place.

LOL Ron Like Berg Says Buy the Best and Cry Once  all they are is a Pepop of a Repop of a Repop of a Repop If you want something that looks like the real Thing then the new Flat 4's are it  if you dont care about the Looks Buy The Repop Of The Repop X 4 or More   its just like the old Fiberglass Fenders and Hoods Someone will make something that fits and looks good then it gets Copied by making a mold off of it the that one gets copied  and soon you have a piece of crap that dosent fit and looks like crap with Fiberglass everytime it is copied there is a 7% difference in fit and size so do the Math something copied over and over  is just Junk

since gary hasnt seen them yet, i will give you an honest opinion. they look just about identical to the mkw's, smooth centers(no cast marks), but the ribs and lips dont have the machine lines that the flat fours do. all in all a good looking wheel for the money, it wouldnt take that much work to make them look really good, and going with garys 7% difference theory, they would be 22" spinners  Grin Grin

Okay -- so, good deal or not??? shiny or matte??? does that mean EVERYONE is going to have
them now ?? Does that mean you are cheap unless you buy the flat fours??? And can someone
give me the scoop (please) do you run them as is -- or do you have to polish them or have them
repainted with a matte / semi-gloss paint?? Sarge mentioned something about a buff & respray.
I don't want to drop $500- $800 & then send them out for RE-DESIGN. I'm no newbie here ---
BUT -- I have been way out of touch for a long time !!!  Roll Eyes     Thanks
