Picture comments...I don't think that's Steve's Ghia... the color is too yellow... Steve's was more brown also with dark brown 8 spokes. Yellow car? Maybe Itos??

[speedwell]

I thought that was Vince's car, at first, too. It could be... hard to say. I remember his car having buggy bars and 914 2.0 liter wheels. Polished with black background. Good call on Steve's car... you're right.

and behind the yellow bug  is it jim moore notch

Might be Gary Dean's. I think the color is closer to Gary's plus I know he had chrome headlight rings and I think that Jimmy's were painted.

First things first...  It was absolutely GREAT seeing you guys last night.  All you guys are totally fun and I look forward to seeing you more often.  Once every 25 years just is'nt enough... ha.  Oh, and Bill Schwimmer.... as Bill Murray said in Stripes..."you are a Mad Man".  That car of yours is insane and my son would not stop drooling at it.  You have consistently built some of the BEST Cal Look cars year after year and top quality stuff too.  It truly is amazing.

Now, I did not really look at that photo of the yellow car until I read your post just now.  That person sitting/leaning on the light post my friends is no other than Steve Dale.  One of the Dale brothers from Fullerton.  That hair... and stance, its him for sure.

Oh..... and WTF? I take off and THEN its photo time of the "gang"?  Wait till I left did yah?  Did'nt want my bald head ruining the flash?  Hah. 

What a cool night for me and my kids last night.

See you in April

Dyno..... my kids LOVED you.  My daughter says "...Dad, why is he so wierd?  He's crazier than you!"  "....Yes he is honey, pretty cool huh?..."  "..He's fun.."

[Worm]

Heres another one from the same guy...

And YES that is Mark Ramirez.  Cool huh.

No, you're actually in one of my candid shots on the club forum. So... git on ovah there and have a looky-see.

The yellow car was Vince's, remember it was called LoBuks, hence the chromies. Also the truck behind it is Willie's as well as the sepia car in the last post.

Willie had alot of cars, when we first met he had and orange KG with "Sight for Sore Eye's" painted in the back window, he also had red '57 that he rolled on teh way back from the Speedway races one night. Mark Ramirez and I were driving behind him and saw the whole thing in Mark's black '67. It was pretty sureal. Willie also had that sepia car as well as the yellow bus. I'm thinkin that the sepia car came from another member but I can't remember who.

Nice stuff all, thanks for teh memories.

Jeffrey, thanks for clarifying the yellow car. I only remember Vince having the 914 wheels. At least all of my pics show it as such. I do remember the plate.

[pdayton]

nobody is interesting about this topic?? only shubee , tinman, bill schwimmer , and few other 
the next club will be the der kleiner kampfwagen (DKK) maybe bill & rick will share some stories 

Hold your horses there!  I am proud to see continued interest in the original DKP from the mid-sixties.  Great to see guys like Jim Edmiston still carrying the flag for us old timers.  I am certain that all who have read your post appreciate your comment but, I for one, am most interested in seeing a steady stream of SKP memories.

Found these on The Samba posted from Low Oval (?).  Whose yellow car with DKK stickers?  Any idea?  And heres Gemco on Harbor and Lambert(La Habra not Whittier), I think this one is where we staged for one of the DKK rallies.  Looks like Alex Rodriquez leaning in the window.  Probably collecting money!  ha.
That Gemco is where I bought my first 45 rpm records.  Ballroom Blitz by Sweet, Fame by Bowie, and Jungle Boogie by Kool and the Gang...Hah!

Vaughn who?? Never heard of the man... that's my story anyway! 

[jhicken]

I know Vaughn too. It's been quite a long time since I last saw him, but I spent alot of quality time hanging around at his place back in teh day. He actually built a motor for me. I was also towing him in his drag car [Anticipation or Imagination? One was his, the other was his brothers Chevy] the day he ran a 10.3. at OCIR.

[Diederick/DVK]

[Rennsurfer]

Vaugh Rollings... blast from the distant past. Haven't seen him since the early '80s. Good stuff!

Gary, silly question time; is your old car ( with lic. plates: '67 CONV ) in the Stephan's new book on page 27? Same plate, same model, same year. Sorry, but I've been away from the scene since 1985.

[danny gabbard]

same car same 67 CONV plate but two differnt owners I sold it over 20 years ago and it's still running the streets of So. Calif it was repainted yukon yellow, with a brown canvas top and red interior, and the guy lived in san diego, then it sold to a guy in huntington beach he changed the interior to black and put a black top and a big motor in it and slammed the rear, To Low For Me

[Rennsurfer]

Thanks for the clarification, Gary... your car was always my fave '67 Sedan. Loved it when it had BRMs. I agree, way too low for me. To each their own, but I'll never understand why cars are lowered in the rear.
