Title: Bug-In 33
Post by: Rennsurfer on April 07, 2008, 10:16:55 am
A few random images from this year's Bug-In.

(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BugIn33Plaque.jpg)

Making our way through the swap meet area, we happened upon this Bus.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIDeanoBus.jpg)

Also a set of Big Wheels... rather obscure.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIBigWheels.jpg)

More cool stuff. This guy was so nice, I simply asked if he had any reverse light rubber boots (wire covers) and he gave 'em to me. Made my day!
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BILicensePlateFrames.jpg)

If someone can figure out a way to install a set of these in a full bodied '67 Beetle, without any body alterations, please let us know.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BITripleWeber.jpg)

I've always said... if a Type 2 & 3 attempted to procreate, these would be the result.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIGreenCar.jpg)

Susy Herbert and a few other girls got to partake in the Powder Puff division.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BISusyHerbert.jpg)

Who would paint their Bug orange? Weird.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BITorT.jpg)

Next, we made it to the Car Show area.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BICarShow.jpg)

D.K.P. had a great spot at the threshold of it all.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIDKPcars2.jpg)

When I walked past this car, menacing vibrations were all around me. I felt that something weird was gonna happen at some point.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BICarlosCape.jpg)

D.K.P. cars.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIDKPcars.jpg)

Danny rode up on this green Dick bike.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIDannysBike.jpg)

More D.K.P.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIDKPCarsRear.jpg)

Made our way to the Vendor area and saw something that was Little But Quick. Schwimmer & Keith check it out.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIBillKeith.jpg)

It was really cool seeing this engine/car in person. When I first learned how to build VW engines, I had that book opened as I assembled.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BILittleButQuickEng.jpg)

Sheesh, you'd think this guy had never been to So Cal before. Oh... hiya, Fabian!
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIFabian.jpg)

Fabian, don't take that picture... take THIS.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIEngine.jpg)

Quite the array of race vehicles were on hand, for sure. From long ones...
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIDragster.jpg)

to short ones.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BITinyBug.jpg)

More cool stuff in the Vendor area.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIInchPincherToo.jpg)

John R. & Tiger amidst some top quality exhaust setups.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIJohnTiger.jpg)

Race Ghia.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIRedGhia.jpg)

Got back to the Car Show area and found an infestation of DEEKS!
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIDKPDKK.jpg)

More of 'em... oh, the horror of it all!
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIDEEKS.jpg)

So we managed to gain everyone's attention span long enough to gather for a grope. I mean, a group shot.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIDeeksGroup.jpg)


Hadn't seen Mark R. for about six years. Always good seeing that some things never change; like Mark driving a '67.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIRamerizsCar.jpg)

A few DEEKS couldn't make it out, so we got McNew on the phone so he'd be there... sorta.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIRamerizFred.jpg)

When was the last time anyone saw this kind of tire?
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIMarksSpare.jpg)

I offered to trade Mark's headlight trim rings for mine, but he wouldn't have it. I can't understand why.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BISB12.jpg)

Another DEEK!
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIRandy.jpg)

Zach's EMPI car.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIZachsCar.jpg)

Brian's car.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIBriansCar.jpg)

As to be expected... not only the cape, but along with a mask, they were both out in full force. Never under estimate the power of the cape.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BICarlosCape2.jpg)

Tiger's car.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIDKPcar.jpg)

While the VW thing was going down, some Porsches were screaming, next door, on the track. Made for some nice background music.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIPorscheRace.jpg)

Worm holds some vintage Bug-In history. Hey, Worm... show us the pose from when you entered Mr. Bug-In. Is that a NO?
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BIWorm.jpg)

The food was so expensive, I had get my friend, Bob, to co-sign a loan for us to eat. But it was all worth it. Bug-In was fun... as was seeing a lotta cool cars and hanging out with friends old and new. GOOD TIMES. On the way out, it was clear that not only some people and the facility were trashed... but also the trashcans themselves.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Bug%20In%2033%202008/BITrash.jpg)

See you at the next VW gathering!

A big thanks to Sarge and Sharon for the hospitality they showed us, to the Wiess' for lunch on Saturday too  ;D

A lil upset I missed Carlo and his cape, I shall save that photo in my 'special collection'  :o

Fabs, I've a few pictures that will haunt you too  ;)

And how many Scandanavians can you fit in a van  ??? Fucking loads  ;D

Lots of pictures when I get back home!

Post by: Rennsurfer on April 08, 2008, 16:18:41 pm
Good stuff, Sarge. Don't care for how the wheels are done, but this one's my fave that you took.

(http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=4977.0;attach=15466;image)

Dig the composition, depth of field, and the reflection in the paint. That shot of the coolers is cool, but if you would've told me at my last Bug-In (31) that those things would be in the swap meet area at a VW event, I most likely would have not believed it. HAHA!! Let us see some more Bug-In 33 images posted up on this thread, please. Keep 'em flowin'.

Spot 'em... heck there was so many that you couldn't help tripping over them!  ;D ;D ;D

Must of been the prospect of warmer weather and Hot VWs or the lure of Stanton that brought them here.

I did see Rune in one of the photos.

Bad-Ass new car from Tim and Taylor (father & son) Walton...it's da SHIT!!  2332, high compression, race gas...GET OUTTA THE WAY!!! 8) 8) 8) ;D

Here are a few shots from Allen and Sue Wiess' party last Saturday afternoon.  BTW, Allen squeezed out a nice 10:55 second ET Sunday at the Bug-In...not bad for a car with fuel injection  ::) ;D  Left to right on the last pic is Troy Palmer, Larry McKenzie, Allen and Richard Roth.

I was very impressed with Tim Allen's white car. Thanks, Sarge, for the pics of that. I was going in a million different directions that day with my best friend and forgot to take any shots of it. It's a longtime known fact that Tim has been into cars for many years... never knew that he dug on VW aircooled cars, too. That's COOL!

I worked a vintage race in LA. Tim Allen was driving a Yenko Stinger so his aircooled love is not limited to VWs or for that mater German.

I have to say Brians car blew me away more than any other.  I could not stop staring at it.  All these little details, new cool things everytime I looked and everywhere I looked.  The throttle cable rig and position, the painted ring Lucas turn signals, the rubber grommets here and there.  The painted 48's.  Nickel plated hardware.  Every friggin nut and bolt.... wow.  Insane.  All of it.  It was my sons favorite car as well.  Incredible innovative details.  Loved that car!

That Foose built Bus was a trip. I normally only dig on more factory looking vehicles... but that guy did an outstanding job at utilizing many factory items throughout. Very tastefully done.

You think so?? I usually like Chip's take on cars, but I think from now on he should stay away from VW's!

Yeah, I kinda liked it. Just because it's different but not too weird. I wouldn't build a Bus that way if it were mine. I'd restore it all factory, then add the built engine, a slight nose down job, and some Porsche factory wheels. But that's my silly way and it's my silly opinion. Completely on a selective basis, mind you.

 ;D

To each their own.

I usually like the redesigns Chip do... and I have often thought about what he would do to a aircooled VW, as in my opinion there isn't really any thing to do. Now I have seen it, and I don't think he made an ass of himself, but in my mind some of the mods he could have done without and it would have given him a nicer result.
