What is a Cal-looker, and how is it supposed to be used?
Berger:
Cal-look is Hot-Rodding....simple as that...
Define Hot-Rodding and you`ll have the answer....
It`s all about the Man and his Car 8)
Rune:
Lots of cool replys here. Got to agree with Andi, they need to be street driven. If its not for the street, then its not for me. But the cal look thing started of by mimicing what happened on the strips, so the engine is a big part of a cal look car. It needs to have a little get up and go by my book. But remember, trailers are for boats ;-)
Georg/DFL:
I also agree with Andi. And I also remember that trip to Spa in 2002. I was sitting on the passanger seat of Gregors 65 (because my car wasn't finished) and had two Lookers in front of me and two behind me. Still getting goose bumbs... it was just a gorgeous sight accentuated by the roar of mufflers and open carbs.
Another story: I was waiting for Andi to arrive in his Looker after a 350 km drive in the rain. Minutes before he arrived I gave him a call just to know where he is. I was standing at the fence by my house looking up the street and in that very moment his car came in sight nose on the ground, high ass, lights and whipers on, a bit like on the picture I included. The street was wet and the trees were moving in the wind and you could hear the IDAs and the Glass pack muffler. That was like the lonesome cowboy with his trusty horse...just f*§#ing cool!
Or the trip to Lege Cap Ferret in France to the Super VW Nationals. 1300 Kilometers one way. Just my buddy Sven, me and my Ghia. We started 7 pm and arrives 8 am the next morning. What an adventure! And you are so proud of your car and yourself when you are back home and you did it!
I can understand when you trailer a car to a race event, but I can't if you are not racing it. I would prefer to go to the SCC just with my car and racing it maybe only two or three times and not as hard as usual instead of trailering it to the show. The fun begins when I leave home...not when I enter the show! At least for me...
I consider it as VERY COOL if you drive your car to an event, race it there, doing mid 13s and then driving back home – like a mate I know. He is doing that in a streetlegal, all interieur, no slicks Type 3 notchback. Fast enough in my books.
