Looks like a great time, sorry I missed it.  

I am really concerned to see Geoff P with a girl.  Has he gone straight on us?

Quality people... that's where it all begins.

Thanks for all the cool photos guys, and congrats to Sarge on the cover. (Sounds like a beer AND a cigar for you my friend!)

WOW! that looked like a great day with lots of beautiful cars people, and I even saw Sierra Nevada in one pic.

Thanks for posting everyone.

[Rennsurfer]

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Sarge, that's a great shot of Dave's engine. Well done.

[Bill Schwimmer]

Awesome time, great Hosts, Authors and People  thanks for everything  !!!!     
 
 Russell give me a call before you leave.
 
                                                 
   

[Jim Ratto]

Sarge and Sharon, again, congrats on the cover shot and the chapter on your longtime support and involvement with the club and all the great people that grew up with and stayed in the scene.
Same you Schwimmer, very cool chapter on you and the oval. You're probably going to influence another whole generation of kids wanting a fast VW....again. A good thing.

See ya guys 12/7


Jim

[Dave Galassi]

Wow.

I didn't realize until I was on the freeway (and John and Christie Lazenby were pulling away from me in their '63........) that I didn't drink or eat anything the whole time I was there.  I just listened to the stories..........Howdy Doody Mahaffey's only street loss in the split, Paul Schley's discovery of water injection.......Doug Haydon and Lazenby's purchase of all the remaining Americans the company had............Dean's story on the origin of the Engle 100 series cams............

In attendance;  Aronson, Holmes, Lazenby, Haydon, Schley, Fleming, Sarge.........and numerous other founding fathers, enthusiasts and street and strip legends, current and past.  I wished I could have stayed all night.

Thanks to Jim and Carlos for the fun drive, Doug and Leslie for hosting us and everyone else who attended.  A day to remember.

 

[lawrence]

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing, everyone. Looks like a blast was had by all.

[larry mck]

OMG, Ratto warned me not to miss this. All the cool cars and people on a perfect So Cal day. Russell looks like a kid in a candy store with a pocket full of cash. Bill I don't believe you are letting your car get away, even if it is to a good home. I'm so sorry I missed this event. Thanks for the pictures guys. 

[DKK TOD]

Wow  Supper cool gig I wouldn't have missed......if I knew about it.  I need to get IN the loop!Someone tell me when/where can I pick up a copy! 

[Geoff P DVKK]

The book is amazing and so are the people who are in it and make up this hobby. it was great seeing everyone, Russel,Deano, Sarge,Bill, Mike,Sue, Dee and all the rest!
Thanks again to Doug and Leslie for hosting the party and my little buddy Keith for keeping the Cal Look dream alive in the Great White North!

i have time to read all about it, if you have time to type it all down. 

must have been great stories that were told that day.

I've just reviewed all of the comments regarding Saturday's gathering at the Mische's.  Doug & Leslie, thanks to you both for making this happen and Keith a big thanks to you for keeping the flame lit.

Who would have thought that when I was a kid with a new VW some 45 years ago that I would still be into them and the DKP thing and the VW thing in general would have evolved into something this monumental.  Ron Fleming and a couple of others (sorry, can't remember who else was in that conversation) were discussing how fortunate we were to have lived the experience.

My personal thanks to all of you younger guys who have the disease and keep the movement going.  To all of you older guys, thanks for being such a big part of mine and Christie's lives over the years.  Even though we don't see each other all that often we think of all of you often and feel so blessed that you have been in our lives.

Dave Galassi, you are a real inspriation to me and I lust for your wheels!!!  Bill Schwimmer, I'm so gald to have finally met you and had the oppertunity to spend some time discussing your car as I've admired it for years.  I hope we see more of each other in the future and maybe I can get a ride???

Last, Jim & Sharon we have such a long history and great memories of our youth.  Jim, you have been the keeper of the early days for so many of us and we couldn't be more pleased to see YOUR car on the cover of Keith's latest offering.

Yes, I have the fever again and  hope to do something in the future to make it go away.

Best to all,

John & Christie Lazenby

[speedwell]

let's go john built another great car
