The Cal-look Lounge

Hello loungers
don't know if okay but I am posting anyway (new part that is)
Nao phoned me to ask to give you CalLook Loungers first option to purchase this collectors item book
for sure now since the California Look Book is obsolete sincer a longer time that is
Stephan Szantai (well known DKP member and VW reporter) is responsible for the book and Nao's car features front page
both guys will be at the European BugIn so why not have your book signed at once
Nao explains this book is written in Japanese (mostly) owners details and engine details is in English
the book features CalLook cars from all DKPmembers, and some cars from Japan, Canada and Europe
Today we are flying over our order from Tokyo Japan to the CSPheadquarters
including only 40 or 50 of those books
I doubt due to custom regulations and import regulations I will have them for the Super VW Nationals in France
but we will have them for sure in the CSP shop soon, and also at the European BugIn boot of CSP
if you like to reserve your copy, be quick, as Nao tells me in US due to CalLook forum the book goes like crazy
so only 40 or 50coming this time,
let me know on gh@csp-shop.de if you are interested
thanks

I'll take 5 of those copies! thank you very much!  ;D

Mail sent!!

lol I interested and I take one book the calif look complete bible
thanks

I'll take one!

Email sent, reply received and another sent etc...

  :D

Thanks Gunter...  8)

Count me in for a couple of these books, thanks in advance Gunter

Kind Regards

Oldschool

I,ve sent you an e-mail Gunter. 2 copies please  :P

One please Gunter.

I will def have one.  ;D

i will take one, to pick up at EBI.

Now, where have I heard the expression 'bible' before...  ;)

See you at Camberg, Gunter?

2 copies here please!!!!!!  ;D

Yeah Keith where would that come from ???
Bad Camberg don't know yet
you know I am now working @ CSP
and the European BugIn interest is just that big you can't believe
so all attention is needed for EBI
we are working on some more new parts
our first two prototyps of the old style Gasser linkages (with new CSP technology) goes to Russell, otherwise he can't feed them IDAs for two of his cars
and we are working on a breather box / oil filler (Porsche 356style) which looks just so good on those CalLook cars
I will try to make it, even for one day, but realistically I must say no VW Classic nor Bad Camberg this year (first time since 1995
and just all for the EBI
I also promised Kobus to help him out that weekend
so I know it might be the last Camberg, but then I'll have to be satisfied with the Hessisch Oldendorf meet I guess
(which I like more)

and time flies Keith, look at the boys and my grey hair
hope you are well by the way
didn't see you this year at the Volksworld show ???

Wasn't it regarding your own work???  ;D

Great Book indeed, the one hat got me into Cal Look rather than Resto Cal or anything else  ;)

Kind Regards Keith

payment VISA or so upfront, or cash at the meeting
but as said, you all receive the mail with all information
kindly then let me know what you decided
thanks all, I am glad the book went all to the loungers
keep the true spirit alive, and I am pretty curious which European cars have been featured

Gunter

dear all
the books are leaving Japan next Tuesday or Wednesday
Nao found me some more so all who reserved are sure to get their reservation
and I managed to have a few available
to have the books at the Super VW Nationals will not be possible
but at Budel and European BugIn no problem
just sent your addresses to the gh@csp-shop.de address so I can fill you in on all necessary details you need to know

Dear Loungers
normally I have sent out confirmation to all of you
sorry Shubee and Kafercup of USA still checking on postal pricing
just lacking some mails and addresses but invidual questions sent
it is normal that the confirmation says no stock
as books left Japan yesterday so once they arrive you are contacted again
please also check the description
it says either
pick up at Budel meeting Holland
or pick up at European Bug In
(in that case no transport charges off course)
if not mentioned it will be sent out by postal services or simular
please check this and if not clear or wrong sent me mail plse
I still have some books left, but they are almost gone to all of you loungers so that's cool
see you maybe at the French Super VW Nationals
I am off, fully loaded with the CSP promo boot
and with some of the new items
check out the oil filler / breather box and the PYTHON exhaust on the engine
and do please come and say hello at the CSP boot
also important to know is that Kobus also asked us to distribute the EBI promo stuff
so if you'd like to add some buttons, stickers, flags, Tshirts, sweatshirts, patches etc to the book order just consult the webshop
www.csp-shop.de or give me a quick mail gh@csp-shop.de
that might drop costs for you
thanks and hope to see you guys soon

See you all nostalgia lovers,
IP

PS: Empicolector, Please could you send me your PM because we spoke together last year at the 19th VW Nat's and i have lost your email (computer problem) ? Thxs

Hey everybody,

Gunter: Thanks so much for promoting the book!
Well, CSP is cornering the European market, and that's great! For all lounger based in the U.S., the latest news is that CB Performance will carry the book as well. I imagine they will start selling it sometime after the Classic. Speaking of the Classic, if you plan on visiting the show (June 10), please note that a limited supply will be available at the DKP booth.

Satoshi, the Editor of Street VWs, did an excellent job putting together this book. I'm just a contributor, and most of the work has been carried by Satoshi and Nao... Actually, half of the book is filled with pictures taken by Satoshi. He took most of the pics during a day with the DKP gang. In the end, 68 pages are devoted to DKP! Wow!

I'd like to use this forum to thank both Satoshi and Nao, two genuine Cal Look enthusiasts and true friends.
Steph

and whil we are on the subject, how about a translation of the original Japanese text? my brain is to ald to learn new stuff that is not car-related,

 so maybe we can kidnap a Japanese student and lock him up untill he has translated the book fully  ::)  ::)

Hi Stephan,
Can we have the chance to see you in EBI at the end of June ?
It'll be a wonderful opportunity for European nostalgia lovers to do dedicated the book and to have some stories by a real DKP member  ;D
I hope so !
See you,
IP

both Nao and Stephan on a signature mission at EBI
get your books signed up by them loungers
that will be fun

Gunter: Thanks so much for promoting the book!
