Hey Sarge...Just curious why did you choose Pickwick? Local area? Did the club have its own meeting room there?

Glad to see you made it home safe, did you have to send up a flare or break out the life boat? When I got home , the weatherman was showing the doppler image and said, hey look at Chino, it's like a waterfall.

I remember crossing a culvert during a heavy rain in my '67 and had water washing up the hood to the windshield. Wish I had a picture of that. |

Dave's car is officially one of my favorites. Richie, can you tell me if the front tires on that car are the 155 Vredesteins? I have one on my spare, and plan on running them in the future. They look about right.

Richie is a good friend of Dave Rhoads and is out in SoCal on holiday - I think the green bug is his rental car... |

Great photos. Isn't it grand that Sarge was around back then to take those snap shots in person? From what I hear, the mighty DKP could return to the Chestnut/Anaheim Blvd. (general) location for a monthly cruise...... With the huge redevolopment going on in that area, a certain land baron with a soft spot for the club and fast VWs, has something in mind that will be very cool. Stay tuned.
