Welcome to The Lounge, Mr. Goss.

Say, Fastbrit... where's the cheap American crappy beer in that photo? Shouldn't the gentleman on the right be holding something as such?

    KS , after the satanic things I said ?? I suspect your offer is a ploy to con me to a far away land, with offers of a fancyfree fun & goodtimes ,only to wakeup in a drug induced state, in a euro dungeon , sore in all my naughty places ,And you, big smile , holding implements of kink & gratification. NO!!! I dont want to live with DYNOs kind of eternal shame, HA, LOL, HA,  But seriously, do you know what a trip like this would $$$ approx. if you know off the top of your head let me know . Ive never done this kind of travel . And yes ,standing with G Bunch at fat and having KEITH SUEME!! of all people come pulling up was AWSOME & HEARTWARMING  truly perfect!! The next time I mention its been a long time since I had a ride in a HOT VW, would you like me to remind you that you had a fresh RANCHO TRANS and that you call yourself "FAST"brit ,how "fast"did we go 40-45?  were we acting old,? or acting like Driving miss Daisy??  Oh crap ,I just made myself" YOUR "BITCH" OHNNOOOOOOOOO.  I did it to myself .     LOL LOL      TALK TO YOU LATER .         KEITH GOSS

Hahahahahaha! What a great post! Yeah, I was driving like an old maid because I didn't want to scare ya. I mean, after 15 years, you'd probably forgotten what it was all about. Too much time spent around old American pick-up trucks does it to ya every time! ;D

Give Ron 'dad' Fleming a call about flights – he's pretty savvy on all that stuff. Or cal Deano at Hot VWs...

I had to comment on this one when I saw "MALLOYEY'S TIRE".  My first set of Pirelli's came from there and I knew all of the guys well.  Remember "Don" the big guy that looked like "Mr. Clean"?  I've never see ANYONE change a tire a fast.
This was also the FIRST place I saw a VW with wheel adapters installed and four American Torque Thrust (Chevy bolt pattern).  The guy was selling the adapters to Malloney.  Last, this was a one minute walk from the original Schneider Motors.

I remembered something else about Malloney Tire.  The original building was a "twin" built by one of the early tire companies like Firestone between 1910-1915 as memory recalls.  The other location was (is) at the northeast corner of Chapman Ave. & Harbor Blvd. in Fullerton just south of the old Fox Theater.  The Fullerton location in the 1960's was the home of Jess Tyree and his header company.  Today it is a mini mall, but still in the original structure.

Malloney's is long gone but was on the southeast corner of Chartres & Los Angeles St., now Anaheim Blvd.  Just one block north at Sycamore and Los Angeles was the original location for the Anaheim Mother Colony Home which was moved in the '40's or '50's to its present location on West St. just behind Anaheim High School.   http://content.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt4290196m/

A side note:  Next to the current location of the Mother Colony House is a HUGE tree.  When Walt Disney came to Anaheim to build Disneyland he saw the tree and it was the inspiration for the Swiss Family Robinson Tree house in the park.[/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Family_Treehouseb]

Hey John, it's great reading all this – I know the area and the streets you're talking about pretty well, and it's neat to learn about what used to be there. Even in my relatively short 23 years of going to Orange County, so much of it has changed beyond recognition. I guess it's called progress… :-[

Keith, so glad you are enjoying the input.  Yes, things constantly change and we never seem to appreciate what we had until it is no more.  I've learned to appreciate friends and family and the times associated with them as if you don't have those things you really have nothing.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.  Which car do you want to terrorize the OC streets with this time?   ;) ;)

It'd be inexpensive too since you don't need a fridge to keep your Beer cold ;)
