Hi,In Budel we wil have oure own clubstand.

Yes indeed, should be a nice treat 

[JeePee/DVK]

OK,today we had a afternoon cruise.
Nice,and 80% of the DVK was there.

[Diederick/DVK]

i know it's not as good as jim's threads 
but i couldn't help posting this one pic, i think it looks pretty cool...
...don't mind the custom looker with type 4 engine and noisy ahnendorp exhaust in front of me 
my 1300 sp kept up with it pretty nicely, right jordy? 

[quickkafer]

I like the way you guys think in this thread...

"Narrowed beams are for Dorks! "

"Type 4 Engines in a Cal-Look are a no no."

It's great to see such dedication out of such a small group of die VW friends!  I can definitely relate to you guys.  Before I moved to the desert southwest part of the US, I lived in wet, cold, damp, wintery western New York.  There were no real VW Cal-Look fans in the area.  I WAS THE CLUB.  I had 3 members: ME, MYSELF, and I. 

If it weren't for my internet friends on the Cal-Look forum, I don't know what I would have done!

Funny, I've looked through this thread a few times and enjoyed the cars...Just never gave much thought until I read an article in this months Rodders Journal.  The article is about a serious hot-rod enthusiast from the Netherlands who is into photography...specificaly colorized black and white photos.  The RJ staff interviewed this guy and you'd think that he had a rod himself, but he dosen't....he dosen't even own a drivers license!  Reason being, according to him, is that it costs roughly $5 an HOUR to PARK a car...about $30,000 a year!      Hat's off you to guys...no wonder there's only a few of you in the pictures  !!

[Jordy/DVK]

 I don't know how the guy came up with the bullcrap, but I don't pay $5,- an hour to park my car...
 It might cost $5,- in Amsterdam (and other cities), but most of the people who live there have a free-parking-license or something...

 I pay € 75.- a year insurance, € 0.- a year tax, and € 1.40 for one litre gasoline... and parking is absolutely 100% free...

 (getting my drivers license has cost me about € 1800,- though, that's not as easy over here as in the USA I guess... and it's obligatory to take lessons and do examn in a stick-shift car.. otherwise you'll get a note on your license... but that'd be a cheap excuse for not driving a bug... )
 

[Diederick/DVK]

Well i can sort of see what Sarge means. When i still lived in Rotterdam parking was an issue, i didn't have to pay for it though.
And so it can be a problem if i'd move to work in Amsterdam and choose not park my beetle at my parent's anymore...

But you're right on the numbers Jordy 

[Jordy/DVK]

 Yeah in Eindhoven parking was an issue too, it can be a problem, but nonetheless I know someone who's building a hotrod there.. so..
 In my opinion the guy is just making up lame-ass excuses for not driving a hot-rod.
 
 
 

[Harry/FDK]

Hey Dudes, Is anybody going to Ninove on Sunday ?

[Harry/FDK]

BTW, DVK cars Rock !

[Diederick/DVK]

thanks hurry 

i wanted to go but i have exams coming up 
gotta get my priorities sorted, otherwise i'll have to do retakes around budel-EBI time...

 

[Diederick/DVK]

Thanks Jim! 
I'm gonna sort out the stance with JeePee in 2 weeks, hopefully thrown on the 205 but then i have to get the outer ring of my rear wheels painted again and i'm short on time right now.

I'm very determined on getting it to look right this season

Hi,

The Dutchies are by far the coolest and devoted.... I have some very good friends there and the love for life and cars and friendshp is real. Last year, myself and and friends went to 'geezerfest' (a muckabout) over to Utrecht to see Pim (PLOON) and Jeroen (okrasa geeza) and Luna de Puna.....

Anyway, as I say, lovely people, and a lust that is refreshing. I am a member of the netherlands VW club and went to the barn of club spares, what can I say, a real supply for the needy. Off the top of my head, A crate of NOS 25hp heads and 12 NOS schwimmer carbs.....OG panels as far as you can see, (no kiddin) all for those who really care.  oh and the official records of every VW sold in holland for 30 years. that was worth a look.


Just musing, they are my mates and long live the Dutchies

Lookin forward to Bad Camberg and European Bug In 2007

GET IN

Nice to be part of the site, It's a refreshing change for me

Yeah, we have to pay for everything. We even have to pay tax about our tax!
Sometime's I dream how it is to live in the states. A huge garage next to your house, very cheap parts and a hamburger restaurant on every corner of the street. O boy o boy

Lovely, what can I say 

In all absolute honesty, the only americans into VW I ever met were Rich Kimble and Ron Flemming, 2 years back at BBT's barby on the way to Hessisch.. Ron said me and my mate Tez reminded of him back in the day.......


I will die a happy man

Look forward to meeting all of you sometime

Hmmm, sometimes I catch myself dreaming of Amsterdam and those cool little "bars" you have there...probably a 60's thing, ya think?   The important thing here is that there IS a Dutch scene and that you have very nice cars! 

[poncho]

I like my car in the weeds

[Jordy/DVK]

 Don't do weed, that's boring... try hallucinogenic chocolate bars... they might provide you with a whole new insight to the California look...

[Andi/DFL]

I have to admit, that some years (7-8 years) ago, I thought, that the dutch scene was strange. Strange cars somehow, but great parties and very nice people. Sometimes, you saw two or three cool cars (I remember seeing JeePee's blue looker for the first time in Budel and going around (and under) it for 5 minutes - it had it all). Then I met Dokke and his family and was even more convinced, that you just have to look for the right people, no matter from which country the are. I think the Cal Look "spirit" is growing in Holland, nice to see that!

And Amsterdam is amazing. Spent a wonderful week with the missus there.

[Harry/FDK]

Hi Jordy, cool chocolate bar site. Some of us have to eat one of those prior to Budel...

[Sander/DVK]

Hé Hurry, I saw a picture of your car in Ninove this weekend, and I remember the text of yout licence plate.

[Sander/DVK]

I search in my magazines, and I found the Vw Käfer&co from 2002 with your car in it

[Harry/FDK]

Oh Man...I'm gettin' OLD. BTW, NINOVE Rocks.

[Harry/FDK]

Thanks Sander, next year DVK and FDK should team up and hit Ninove. It really was a blast. You really get the vibes for the coming summer.

[Jordy/DVK]

 Weird coloured mufflers, what make are those?
 And do I see a fake DKP sticker in the side windows...     

 Too bad I couldn't come to Ninove, but sold my Shorrock that day and got quid for real HP...

[speedwell]
