Coooooooooool a quarterly Classic Porsche Grin Grin Grin

Back to VW now. One day you should tell us about the preparations of that trip. I am sure everybody want to know what it takes to realise what is probably THE dream of many loungers.
Enjoy the rest of your stay.

Very cool, Keith. Thanks for sharing. The only thing better than standing on the sidewalk and hearing and seeing that squadron go by is being with the group in an flat four powered, IDA car!

Reminds me of the DKK cruises to OCIR Bug-Ins

Oh MAN... can you imagine if one of us was rich enough to have a movie camera back then, Rick? We'd have some epic footage of those HUGE caravans... sometimes up past forty cars. Especially with many of the people that used to hang out with our club, back then and their cars. Then, if we had movies of some of those infamous parties... WOW. Would make for some big-time comedic material, now.

This thread is not about DKK boys....  It is about Keith, imagining for years what it would be like to cruise the streets of OC in his own ride.  So, he packs his car in a portable tuna can and ships it 1000's of miles across the Atlantic, receives posession of the ride in Cali.  Then the DKP boys rally the troops, set up a killer weekend and WHAMMO..... he's a cruisin down the street in OC.  Now we all imagine how cool that would be to have everyone of those rides be a DKP quality car.  Taking up both lanes, driving with no hands while making a video of a moment in time he will never forget.

Good for you Keith.  It was an amazing effort put forth that appeared to pay off in great memories.

How about I ship my ride to France and cruise the round a bout at the Champs Elysees, or rip thru Lancaster Gate in London.  You bet I would be thrilled. 

My Great Grandmother I was told was tough old bitty.  She would see a car or house or something she was fond of and was known to say, "if I had that (blank) and he had a feather up his ass, we'd both be tickled..."


So stoked to see you pull it off... Awesome!  I'm tickled for yah.

Worm, you're totally correct... my point is that I'm very happy that Keith got to carry out his dream/mission and even document it with still photos and even video. Hopefully, the good times and great memories outweigh the negative aspects that he had to put up with at U.S. Customs.
