Dreams can come true…

Having fun?   :)

Coooooooooool a quarterly Classic Porsche ;D ;D ;D

Back to VW now. One day you should tell us about the preparations of that trip. I am sure everybody want to know what it takes to realise what is probably THE dream of many loungers.
Enjoy the rest of your stay.

Nice Vid K-

One hand on the wheel, one on the camera and on the wrong side of the road,....that is one talented Brit.

P-

Back home now, I'm afraid!  :(

I'll be doing a series in Ultra VW about the trip, planning, shipping etc, so watch this space! :)

Reminds me of the DKK cruises to OCIR Bug-Ins

Much, much better. Only I can still hear the old British show tunes on your radio in the background....

I thought there as a slight whine :P

Very cool, Keith. Thanks for sharing. The only thing better than standing on the sidewalk and hearing and seeing that squadron go by is being with the group in an flat four powered, IDA car!

it appears you have 4EYES there keith but when i diddent hear any crunching of german metal i knew better. pretty steady hand for a old man. i dident even get dizzy. THANKS . UD . .

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Very nice Keith!  I'm jealous!   ;)

Like leaving a keg in one at Bug-In!  ;D

This thread is not about DKK boys....  It is about Keith, imagining for years what it would be like to cruise the streets of OC in his own ride.  So, he packs his car in a portable tuna can and ships it 1000's of miles across the Atlantic, receives posession of the ride in Cali.  Then the DKP boys rally the troops, set up a killer weekend and WHAMMO..... he's a cruisin down the street in OC.  Now we all imagine how cool that would be to have everyone of those rides be a DKP quality car.  Taking up both lanes, driving with no hands while making a video of a moment in time he will never forget.

Good for you Keith.  It was an amazing effort put forth that appeared to pay off in great memories.

How about I ship my ride to France and cruise the round a bout at the Champs Elysees, or rip thru Lancaster Gate in London.  You bet I would be thrilled. 

My Great Grandmother I was told was tough old bitty.  She would see a car or house or something she was fond of and was known to say, "if I had that (blank) and he had a feather up his ass, we'd both be tickled..."


So stoked to see you pull it off... Awesome!  I'm tickled for yah.

Epic post Scott.

 

Seems like you could of found one friend to at least do the shifting for you Keith LOl

Nice seeing you in the staging lanes

Fantastic!
can immagine the smile on your face!!
 ;D ;D ;D ;D

Awesome Keith.Now,that must have been worth all the hassle and expense!
Congratulations on realising a dream.

Just Awesome,just hope I can see some of these cool cars at the classic ;D

Fantastic....... got goose bumps watching.  Lucky guy Keith ,  well done  ;D

Nice vid, Keith!  Too bad Stephane wouldn't let us go over 20 mph Saturday morning :( ;)

Thanks guys – it was worth the hassle (and unplanned extra expense) just to live that dream. I know it must seem odd to you OC guys, but for we 'Euro-Brits', this is something special. To make it happen, I sold a lot of my memorabilia, eBay'd some other trinkets and generally went without for some months. In case anyone thinks different, I don't earn a fortune (probably less than the supposed 'national average' these days!), don't smoke, never go on holiday and have a list as long as my arm of work still to do on my house. I just determined that I was going to make this happen, somehow, someday. Without the kick up the backside from Russell and, then, Jo, it would probably still not have happened. But it did.

All I can say is, if I can do it, then so can anyone. It just takes determination and sacrifice. Be prepared to give up a little to gain a lot. Unless you're somebody 'fortunate' enough to inherit money, or be given big lump sums for birthdays, it's down to each of us as individuals to make our dreams come true. The gain will always outweigh the pain…

Now roll on VW Classic… :)

Glad you and your car were able to make it !
It was nice talking with you.
See ya at the Classic !
 :)

How long does the car and you remain in US then?  :)

How did the insurance work out, does your British insurance cover driving in US?

I'm back home now, but the car is in the Schleys' garage until I go out for Classic.
Temporary insurance was by arrangement with UK company for up to 60 days at a time.

Thanks for getting your car here Keith it made it that more special for all the DKP III club members as well. Now if we can just get the 5 reamining cars out to the Classic...mmm ;)

So happy to see your dream come true!   8)

Huh!? Hey, I wasn't in front of you guys, I was in the back, dam'it!  :D
Keith, it was truly an honor (honour, sorry!) to have you along with us. One of the best days of my life.

Now roll on VW Classic… :)
