The Cal-look Lounge

Okay, after several attempts at various locations, we have made a decision!!!!
Drum roll please,,.,.,.,..,.,.,.,..Farmer Boys in Walnut 21008 Lycoming on the
corner of Brea Canyon Road just north of the 60 freeway! We will meet @ 8:30 A.M.
The first Saturday of each month. Come join us for breakfast in your Bug !
Anyone in the I.E., S.G.V., North Orange County, etc. Let's see if we can kick
it off real good this Saturday, July 3rd !!! Are you out there -- let's see you!! ;D

Count me in. May have to take off early, but I'll be there for breakfast.

Basically a BUMP !!! But a reminder to everyone & anyone who wants to
come out to WALNUT / 60 & 57 fwy to the FARMER BOYS & eat some
breakfast, & b.s. !! I will BUY breakfast for the guy who drives farthest!!

Just trying to resurrect this thread in Cal-look .............for those of you who have missed the thread
in Happenings section. We invite ALL loungers to come out usually the FIRST saturday to our little
BUGS FOR BREAKFAST just a casual meeting of those located near WHITTIER Blvd at
RUBY'S DINER we try to meet at 8:30 am & have a little breakfast while we all check out
each others cars. We scheduled one today & had 15 cars including a crew cab truck & a ghia 'vert.
Thanks to everyone who came out & hope you enjoyed the morning as much as I did.  8)

Wish I'd of known.

Sorry Jason, I guess you had already left last sunday when I was telling Tim.
We try to keep it posted on the HAPPENINGS THREAD, but not many
people look there !! We try to do it on the FIRST saturday, but we can have it on
other weeks as well. Feel free to make a suggestion !!!! //// Sorry we missed you today.

Was a great time, sorry Jason you missed this one but there will next month. Was nice to have some of DKP guy's there, Tim, Ben and Fabien, thanks guy's, and bunch of DEEKS, (DKK) guy's also, thank you! Hopefully more of both clubs next time and everybody else. Below is the link to the happenings post with pics of today. Again, would like to thank Bruce and Ron in there help in keeping this meet going. Lets see more of you guy's from the Lounge out next month. Just some wild thinking, to bad that the UK part of this Lounge can't meet with us here in a event like this, the things we can all talk about.  :o ;D

I will help out to make sure that the Bugs For Breakfast post is updated so all can see and participate.

Ted

  yeah oh well bummer...this was the last Sat. I worked swing shift I will be going back to days on Sat. so I most likely wont be making one anytime soon....That and I'm about to pull the loaner motor I've got in my car and it will down for a bit till the new mill is finished.. Glad you guys had fun anyhow.

I would like to give a big thanks to all the great people who came out (with or without their Bugs ;)) this past Saturday for breakfast.
I'm sure all had as good a time as I did. New faces, new cars and works in progress gave plenty to talk about.
I also would like to give a special thanks to MYTOY/Mark Ramirez for making the long distance trip and putting out the phone calls to help make this by far the biggest and best turn out thus far.
Ted, your pictures are awesome and chronicle the event perfectly, thank you very much.
"Crazy Joe" said he enjoyed himself and is planning to attend regularly if he can.   
Hope all who can make it will put February 5th down on their calenders for the next gathering.

It is on for Feb 5th -- the first saturday in February at RUBY'S on Whittier Blvd.
Hoping to get a big turnout!!! Just wondering, does anyone want to plan on going for a
little drive after we eat??? I was wondering if a short cruise might be a nice way to finish
the event?? Let me know what you're thinking !!! How about some PRE-SUPER bowl fun! :D

I will for sure be there again..!!!.....look foward to this meeting ..!!

I'll be there if I'm better, my whole family and I are sick. COUGH COUGH!!

Ted

Feb 5th Saturday morning 8:30 A.M. Be there .....Tell your friends.
Make it happen, you know you want to drive your VW
RUBY'S DINER

Ya know I will be there .... ;D....hope to see many new faces also..! it "Might" be better than coffee to start yer day this way ..!!.....now I did say "might" for you hard core coffee drinkers  !... ;)

BYO coffee or they also serve it for take out at Ruby's :D
All these cars coming out from hiding in and around Whittier is sooo cool.
See y'all there!

Ted

See you on Saturday.

I hope you guys don't mind if I miss it --- I still got a little wiring to do

[attachment=1]

Yikes....!

Dud, come down anyway, ya don't have to bring your car. Join in, have some breakfast and talk VW's and all. Should be a good showing!  ;D

 Hope to see some of the DKP guys show up again, see everyone in the morning,      ;D  Ron

Ted

HECKER!
Love to come along, but the drive from TEXAS is kinda dissuading ...  ;D
Hope you're keeping your head above the level out there!
Take care,
Tom

C'mon Tom it's NOT THAT FAR !!! My sis & Bro in-law left at 6 am for Amarillo just to
watch a college baseball game on Saturday, they'll be home here on Sunday !!!
You could certainly plan on a customer test drive !!!!  :D     Ron  AKA Hecker !!

 :D :D :D
If I was in Amarillo, I'd be there.
Hell, it takes 12 hours just to get THERE!  ;D ;D

How about I just send you some world famous Round Rock donuts and we call it a draw?
...errr ... ummm ... my belt came off just the other side of Fort Stockton and I had to turn around ... yeah, that's it!

This sounds like an awesome deal ... I hope y'all enjoy it and the turnout is great!

Those of you with cameras, please post your photos!

Well.....I gotta say that this was the best turnout yet..!!! Lotsa DKK...! Losta DKP...! and a whole bunch of us non-club guys made it a great day ! And ended with a little cruise...!! .......Here's a few pics Dan[attachment=1]

    :o >:(  .... sheeeesh, scooped by an amateur Paparazzi already!  The way I saw it.... :)

I second what Kaferdog posted, a great turnout, good food and a fine way to start a Saturday. 8)

Ed Craig's Ghia looks SAAAWEEEET!!

 8)

 :)

 :D

Thanks to Hecker and 61SNRF for the invite...  good times! 8)

WoW !!! So fresh in my memory & yet SOOOOO Stoked at seeing so many pictures.  Thanks to each of you
that came out. Bruce & I started this a year ago & today was the best yet !! Thank you Stephan S.  for
rallying Der Kleiner Panzers to be a part of this. Thanks also to Mark Ramirez  / DKK what dedication to drive
over an hour just to EAT!! Great pics, from all , I hope to put up a few later.  It was great to see Rosique,
I'm not sure, is Oak Hills farther than Wildomar?? I hope everyone enjoyed, and will come again next month.
We had a couple cars show up after being called & told about all the VW's at Ruby's. Nice to see the response.
Remember you Built  it to DRIVE it !    ;D     thanks again, Ron   AKA HECKER

LOL....Sarge I could " Never " Take the Shots like you...!!!.....Wudda Eye...!!!...... ;D

Great stuff and thanks for posting pictures from all the guys in northern nevada !!

Fun way to start off a saturday and it was great to finally drive my car to a event. 

Had a great time! Thanks for organizing the event, Ron.
I think about 35-40 cars showed up. Great weather, too!

Some DKK action and Ed's beautiful Ghia![attachment=1]

What a great way to start the day!
Good times had by all.. I'll be back!
Thanks Ron!
(Oh yeah-- my house to Rubys: only 71 miles ;D)
 

Wanna say thanks to Bruce and Ron for starting the Bugs For Breakfast, today was the BIGGEST one so far. Was great to see DKP and DKK in force, and everybody that came down. Was fun times and conversations. Hope to see everybody next month and MORE! Below are some pics I took, enjoy!
Ted

more..........

more.....

and a few more...........

I feel homesick... :(

Great pics!

Had a great time yesterday.....and BTW, thanks for the breakfast Fabien! You're OK in my book despite what Carlos says about you....................HAHAHAHA.....just kiddin. Hopefully I willl be able to get out to more events as time marches on. See ya soon!

wowwwww thx for the report guys , it look like a nice day with cool people 

ed where are those DRA stickers ???.............. ;D ;D

DRA....oops...I mean the "Legendary" DRA will make a appearance at the next Bug In.   Look for our massive two car at display at Bug in featuring Marc's Split and my Ghia.  :o  I think DRA will probably go back in hibernation after that, but this is still unofficial.

WOW!
Fantastic turnout ... I'm jealous. :'(

Excuse me for not posting sooner. I'm still looking for words to describe what a great day it was!
With over 36 cars (and a motorcycle, Dave!) that turned out it was well attended to say the least, and has exceeded all expectations of it's success. Great showing of Karmanns too, with six Ghias and three Cab's. A few of the cars were locals attracted to the spot by the visual impact that the scene made. Thanks Randy, Sarge, Mark and Ted for recording the happening in pictures so well.
It was a great pleasure to meet so many new Legendary friends and put more faces to names as Hecker would say.  I want to thank all the people who traveled long distances and put aside their normal Saturday mornings to come to visit Whittier for breakfast, and no less thanks go to the "regulars" for their continued support. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as I did.
The staff of Ruby's Diner also wanted to extend their thanks and were pleased with our patronage. The manager assured me that given notice they would be happy to put more personnel on duty for our future events to accommodate the increased demand.
The brief cruise afterward was icing on the cake as they say, and a fun way to part company for the remainder of the day.
The first Saturday of the month is now firm, and we have talked of a schedule for the coming year, so keep posted for the next date.
See ya' there!
Bruce

awesome pics of some awesome cars..thanks for sharing ;D

Cool pics guy.  ;)

This car is sweet, I dig the Italian/Australian rear lights and stock wheels 8)

I dig the slicks,................... Steve Beechers car

..... not to mention the 2332cc motor and 51mm IDA's 8)

Maybe next time, instead of just cruising down to the park...how about a nice glory cruise up & down Whittier Blvd?

X2

Ted

I'm ALWAYS  ready to cruise in my car, I guess thats a benefit to having a stock motor.
I've enjoyed driving it this last year -- thanks to Bruce  -- I think I've put around 6000 miles on it since
last January (2009)  He reminded me it should be time for a valve adjustment & another oil change.

OKAY  now we can be open to suggestions, what are your ideas ?  A cruise up & down Whittier?
How about down Beach Blvd to PCH ? A little coastline cruising, a short hop over to El Dorado Park? Let's
find out where some of you would like to go. ANY IDEAS are likely to stir some great times !!!   :D            Ron

I don't believe 20 + similar cars driving in a lawful fashion up and down the boulevard  one time at 12:00 noon would bring on legal enforcement.

I agree with all of ya, my take is, if we want to do this right, why don't 2-3 of us go to the Whittier PD and just let them know what we want to do. That we are all older nownand know better and that we obey the laws of the road. It's for old time sake. I'm sure they would understand, I hope.

Ted

Sorry Hecker, I'm not trying to start a thread jack on your successful thread.

Mark, I understand your point of view about the legal enforcement thirty years ago. It's relevent, but it also was thirty years ago.

Whitter shut down cruising Whittier Blvd. at night. There hasn't been any form of cruising there in years.

If we all 20 cars drove out on the boulevard, made only one pass to Der Weinershnitzel and back obeying all traffic laws at noon on a Saturday, again I doubt it would raise any attention. This is not a recurring theme.

I'm sure none of you were hasseled rolling down Santa Gertrudes to that park.

The only thing we have to fear -- is cops. !!!  I think as long as we obey all traffic laws - don't run any
lights, & keep enough space between cars, so as not to tailgate, etc. we should be fine!!! HECK, most
of the older cops NOW  probably had VW's when they were younger.           Ron

most cops dont think a VW can go that fast!! It was only a couple months ago that I was HAULING ASS down Whittier blvd, 48's at full song. Blazing past a Camaro when I saw a motorcycle cop about 200 yards ahead with radar in hand....I quickly pushed in the clutch and let of the gas to bring it down to a nice idling coast. Guess who got pulled over... wasn't me!!! I feel kinda bad he took the hit for me, but thats what you get when drive a camaro

My recommendation...La Mirada Regional Park.  Good free parking, and good spot for photos too.  Maybe 15 minutes from Rubys.  B 4 B was great as it was a fun morning event W/O taking up the entire day.  I think a short drive after is icing on the cake.

Gotta say Randy, that is pretty cool. But, yes, if we keep within the law and not draw attention, will be fine. I think the only attention will be people giving us thumbs up, it's happened to me. my thinking is to go down Scott Ave. to Lambert, make a right, go down to Santa Fe Springs Rd. make a right go back up to Whittier to the 4 points, make a right onto Whittier, then we cruz back to either to Ruby's or to the park we went to, What ya think??? Maybe have someone take some pics of everything or even video!!  ;D

Ted

Hmmmm just a few notes.......
1.As far the Whittier PD...I don't think those cops are still on the force ..! Most of them(P.D.) are way younger than us now ...! I don't feel like a target at all nowadays... !I have encountered many a P.D. in Whittier and I don't even get a look...!!

2. I was thinking the same thing about a cruise to the beach..maybe  Shoreline Village in Long Beach...? Great view and great for some pics with the Queen Mary in the background also Lots of parking ...? also places to grab a bite for lunch or a drink ( Mmmm Ice Cold Brewskie)@Tequila Jacks (Yes I do work there ..!),Yard House( Even More Cold Brewskie's),etc....

3.also El Dorado parks sounds good too...Very Classic spot

But I know some of us have a long drive just to get to Rubys...!.....Anyway I'm down for a LiL Cruizin after breakfast so any where would be cool....!!!

Thanks Mark....Yeah I think it would make some great shots ....it's a very scenic spot...!
Starting next week they start setting up the barriers for the Long Beach Grand Prix in April..Last year I was thinking how cool it would be to take a pic with nothing but VW's crossing the finish line with all the grandstand and barriers In full "Long Beach Grand Prix style"......!! after that we could head down through Belmont shores ( Ocean to 2nd st)up to Studebaker to 22 frwy up to 605 frwy and get off on Spring st to El Dorado Park..? We could take the 605 W to 105 W to 710 S down to Shoreline drive ...?

Cool idea and a very cool cruz route! I'm in!! Some more input on this one....

Ted

There!!... feel better now? ;D

I like the idea of a little longer cruise, too.  Might be fun to try a trip up Painter (a QUIET trip) to Turnbull Canyon Rd then back down Colima to Whittier Blvd.

how about driving down to Tijuana??  ::) Who cares if I don't comeback...........

quit feeling sorry for yourself.... sheeeeeeshh!

Okay Y'all, just for clarity.

I was only proposing the idea of a 10 minute jaunt up & down Whittier Blvd. as a fit ending to a great breakfast event.

The BFB is the actual reason why we are gathering and most want to go home after yapping and eating.

Please, save your larger scale plans for a perfect day when we can actually spend the time driving and stopping.

For now, lets just eat breakfast at Ruby's and maybe take a quick spin.

DM

So dont go on the cruise then, we can and will do want we want

I don't know --- it just seems like this car should be my first picture on this thread.

R.I.P. Shubee

Nice of Randy to test drive his daughter's beautiful ghia. You can see build pics on the In da Werks thread
He did the paint himself. His daughter drives it, when he isn't.
[attachment=1]

I'm up for a cruise, whittier blvd. is fine, cruising turnbull canyon would be fun also.  I'm even in for a cruise to pch, then north (or south).
I say you (Ron) and Bruce make the call, and then post it up.  You guys started this gathering, so take it where YOU want it to go.
As far as the cops, I have been in 50+ nova cruises, without telling the local law enforcement agencies, and everything has been fine as long as you obey the law.

X2 for sure!

Thanks for taking a picture Ron, I should have made her wash the bird poo off it before I took it but she had practice

I realize it is still a few months off, but are you guys discussing a B4B over the Classic weekend?  I would be up for that.  Or perhaps a B4Lunch with all the other happenings?  Looks like a great get together.

There has been no discussion, but the format has been to meet on the first Saturday of the month. The first Sat in June would be the 4th,  and the Classic is the following week on the 12th. The OCTO show is also on Sat the 11th, so it might conflict with some peoples schedules.
The 4th should still be a good way to kick off the weeks activities though :)

I like it!

I have the classic spot HILLCREST PARK, FULLERTON,CA wow wouldnt that bring back some old s*#t. (ICE BLOCK ANYONE?)

We used to race the old plastic Big Wheel's there at night!
So LATE one night, my buddy went a little deep in to a turn, crashed hard and broke his arm!! Good times! This was around '75 or so.
Of course I gave him a ride to the ER in my Cal Look '64 :D
 
 

Thanks for the event Ron & Bruce !!!  I had a great time.  Hillcrest park would be great.  Its free too.

ICE BLOCKING!!!!!!!!!
I remember it looking something like this...  OMG, what CRAZY FUN times were those?!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOBd-uk49Vk

And they ate their own evidence!

ICE BLOCKING ROCKS!!

(http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=12958.0;attach=49001;image)
Who's 67 is this?  I really like it.

Oh thanks Sarge. You've really made my day…  >:(

Is Hillcrest still a hang out for uhhh...  ::)

Those who prefer same sex relationships?  ;D

I remember that at some point the local officials were having some issues with it being a pickup meeting spot.  ;)

I wanna say it was the late 80s or early 90s

EDIT: A little write up from the LA Times (http://articles.latimes.com/1985-02-16/local/me-2954_1)

Perhaps the ice block riders ran out ways to entertain theirselves.

Funny, I've never been to Hillcrest Park during daylight hours.. don't know about the.. um.. homo thing.
As a bunch of crazy teens, we would do the Bigwheel rides after the park was closed.. seems like we had to hop a fence?? Hard to say, it's been over 35 years! As I remember it, there was a fairly skinny paved road that maintenance would use that ran all through the park. This road had some pretty nasty downhills and tight turns.. perfect for riding on your knees on an ill handling, plastic wheeled child's toy!!
Good times!
 

Reminds me of the Outlaw Soapbox Derby Cars (http://www.sfvisbf.com) they run in the Velley.

Yeah, enough of this DEEK thread jacking.


Besides, these days we'll need to fuse four blocks of ice together to get one ride..... :D ;D

UHH, yeah, Let's say that we are talking about something that will probably be most
memorable  & hopefully won't happen again for a long time.  :-X           Ron

Well, after much serious consideration & many Ha-rumphs ....It is with great honor that I announce
The next Bugs for Breakfast scheduled for March 5th 2011 will begin at RUBY'S in Whittier @ 8:30 am
We will leave around 9:30 -- no later than 9:45 to drive as many VW's as we can to West Covina.
This will be a 12.5 mile drive that should be 35 - 45 minutes to the Memorial Service for SHUBEE.
I am asking anyone that knew Gary, anyone who knows anyone who knows Gary, anyone who ever
bought anything from him or sold anything to him, to show up for this short cruise. There will be
directions printed to follow / like a rally / google maps / and we should be able to make a statement
as we drive through the streets. If we can get the same turn out as we had last month it will be great.
I've spoken to friends of SHUBEE from the early 70's -- guys he went to high school with, etc.
TEXAS TOM is flying in from Austin,Tx for the memorial  -- he will be in town for Nick's Sunday too.
Hope everyone can make it, as I said before --- something memorable, not something we will do again, soon.

I will for sure be there...!!...I never met Gary...But knew of his presence and knew the cars..!..This should definitely a great memorial and a great way for those who knew him personally to say their goodbyes for now.

I'm planning on being there on Saturday.

I'll be there. I also think it wouldn't hurt to get there a little early, like 7:30 ish. That way we can get a bite to eat and discuss the route.

You'll see some DKP cars there too!

Looks like I'll make it.
If anyone wants a co-pilot, let me know. The rental place didn't have any Cal-Looks ???
It'll be good to see y'all & for such a good reason.

THE ROUTE is .....Left out of Ruby's, a right turn at Colima over the hill to Hacienda where we will turn left.
Proceed north on Hacienda -- it changes names to Glendora & also to Vincent along the West Covina Mall.
We will continue north on Vincent under the 10 Freeway to Badillo. We will make a right & find the driveway
for FAITH COMMUNITY CHURCH. its about 12.5 miles & should take 35-45 minutes I think on Saturday morning.
I will also be printing out  some maps to hand out !! We should be able to be there plenty early or right on time.
I truly hope we can get a massive group of VW's to show up to pay respect to one our own. I think it will be
a great tribute to have a huge turnout.  I know my car will be there !!  ;D

Wish I could make it but it looks like my dance card is gonna be pretty full on Sat.  :-[

Things look set for another good turn out tomorrow. Among others, Texas Tom will be joining us as well as out of town DSK member Steve "NLVTinman" Walker. This meeting will start early at about 7:30AM due to the events planned for the remainder of the day.
Those who wish to participate in a Cruise to attend Shubee's Memorial should plan on leaving Ruby's no later than 9:30AM in order to make it to the Church by about 10:30AM.
See ya'll in the morning
P.S. Ruby's opens at 7:00AM if anyone wants to get there earlier please do.

Sounds good ...I plan to get there about 7ish....!!

can't make it tomorrow, sorry. I have prior commitments. 

 I just wanted to thank everyone that came out to day to celebrate my Uncle Gary life. It was so nice to see so many VW.  It was also nice to hear all the stories from years ago. God bless you all. If anyone would like a copy of the slide show, Please let me know,

God Bless
Day

First, I want to thank Ron and Bruce for there work on making today's Bugs for Breakfast/Shubee Mem. Cruz successfull. I feel honored to be part of this Cruz to celebrate Shubee life with all his friends and family. The Church service was very touching, you can feel the love for Shubee by all. Below are some pics of today I took. Some are good and some are a little rough. But will give you an idea how it was today. I know there were other camera's there, please post your pics....

Ted

Just returned home from the extended festivities.....went to the restaurant & enjoyed some more
good food. After we closed the bar we were delighted to tailgate at a secret un-mentioned location.

Thank You for helping to make Garys Celebration of his life so special. I am sure he was smiling down when he saw all his friends new and old there and all this loving family too.  He was a special man and will never be forgotten by many. Will always miss him and hold him close to my heart always for he was my bestfriend and partner.
 Thank You for all the condolances and emails and phone calls i have recieved.  Melisa and I appreciate them. Truely was a awesome day with 80 degree weather, blue skys and the church and restraunt filled with so much Love for Shubee. Loved hearing some stories i hadnt heard before. Guess Gary was holding out alittle on me.   
Hugs to all that made this day so special especially Day garys niece. Looking forward to seeing the yellow bug Shubee8 on the road and enjoyed by the family as Gary would have wanted it. Keep the Dream Alive :)

I'd like to again thank all who showed up & took the cruise, It was very cool when the Pastor said
"Wow I think this is the first time a car show broke out at a memorial service"    ;D
Many thanks again to all who show up each month for some VW time. 8)

Well, I try, but I only dress like that on special occasions. It usually involves Church, Food, or a Cruise ship !!

It is that time again guys....Bugs For Breakfast this Saturday morning April 2, 8:30 am
RUBY'S at Whittwood on Whittier Blvd.  The weather
should be nice, so come on out & BS  with the rest of us. See ya there !!! :D

If I don't have to work Saturday, I'll be there!  ;D

Ted

Do you have plans to arrange this event also in the BugIn weekend?

Can't make it either, going to the good guys show at del mar. Next month for sure.
have fun guys.
jim

LUFTSICK TERO ASKED ---
Do you have plans to arrange this event also in the BugIn weekend?


Well, funny you mention that....I was just thinking that as I drove home from work today!!!
If memory serves me right --- and I hope someone from D.K.P. will chime in --- there is a Friday
night event  @ NICK'S --- so why not try to get some people out Saturday April 30th ??
It would really work out well for any out of town / country visitors!! I'm totally open to feedback
from ANY LOCALS ...let me know if it can happen !! A Friday, Saturday, Sunday weekend  -- might
be perfect for those who can make one or the other or ALL THREE !!! ;D ;D ;)

Usually theres a big VW Swap Meet at Anaheim Stadium on Sat morning

It's mostly bus people selling bus stuff at that swap. Plenty of time to eat breakfast and check out both

I'm open to the idea of holding it a week early, as long as we don't stay out too late the night before :D

I mixed up the dates, thought that Bug In weekend had the first Saturday of the May..

I think so too. Bug-In, there may be a DKP Cruz night, don't know on Friday, maybe any DKP guy's can chime in and give us that info., but Saturday I don't think anything is going on. Now Classic weekend, yes! DKP Cruz night on Friday, OCTO on Sat. and Classic's on Sunday. I think were good to go for Bug-In weekend or Sat. morning. WE need the correct dates on the other happenings, that would straighten this out. See ya all tomorrow!!  ;D

Ted

Tero it's because of the TIME ZONE difference.....BUG-IN has always been Sunday here in the states.
Except in the early days it was 2 days. So, stay tuned to this thread for updates !!! Think about it guys,
maybe WE should have a pre BUG-IN BREAKFAST !!!

YA!!

Dkp's site says there hosting a pre bugin cruise on the 29th so a breakfast on the 30th should work nice. I can say for sure if it happens I will  be there.

Well okay Guys & Dolls, it is time once again for BUGS FOR BREAKFAST special pre BUG-IN
Meeting. Due to the great interest in a pre-cruise at NICK'S on Friday, we think there should  be
some interest in a Breakfast gathering at the usual place  RUBY'S  on Whittier
Blvd between Santa Gertrudes & Colima Rd. Join us between 8:30 AM & 10 - 11- or NOON whenever.
We hope to see "TERO" from Finland !!! So get ready for a full weekend of VW Fun !!!
Come on out & meet someone new !! ;D  Hecker     AKA  Ron

Sounds like a party.  I'll be there.

...Ed.

Glad to see you guys are going ahead with the sat meet this weekend, I will be there for sure. ;D

Will try to make it if I don't have to work. As it is, I will miss the DKP Cruz night Friday cause of working OT. But will be at Bug-In.

Any plans of a Cruz to Bug-In Sunday?? Maybe meet at Ruby's Dinner early in the morning, I'm down for that!!

Ted

Well, back from Ruby's BFB, was a small turn out but still good to see the people that showed up. And met Tero and his wife from Finland, very nice people, good to put a face to the name. Good conversation, good food of course. See ya all at Bug-In!

Ted

Hey Mark, I think your right, it is Finland. I'll edit my post. See ya tomorrow!

Ted

Funny Fred, Tero & Sanna were at Cars & Coffee AND at Ruby's !! :o
No problem, big weekend, only 7 cars showed up, but it was still a good morning.
It was very easy to determine who had travel the longest distance to get the free
breakfast!!!  ;)    A good time was had by all, we'll do it again in June......

sorry guys, I had to work a power shutdown this morning. i'll try to make the next one

Glad that it worked out for them... but I had things to do around my house and couldn't make the latter one. See y'all tomorrow.

No problem, man relax ! we missed you    ;D

Wait till the Classic weekend comes, alot to do and see, need a week to rest after that!  ;D

Ted

Worked after we corrected the typo we made into GPS, "Whittwood" instead "Whittier". Spent half an hour looking for the place, as oddly enough there was a Carl's Jr (which was the landmark Ron told us) near 10109 Whittier  :)

Anyway good to connect some usernames with faces and hear good stories  8)

ooops, I think that was MY fault, really sorry...Glad it worked out.    :-[

I don't know if this is the incident you're talking about but at one BugIn I told Bill that I was "Taking the Norwegians to Stanton" where some of them were staying and Bill responded with "That's not something you hear everyday."  ;D

That was my Lounge signature for a while

A small turn-out this month but just as enthusiastic as ever...
[attachment=1]
We all enjoyed meeting and greeting our special guests from Finland Tero and his lovely wife Sanna. We all had a lot of fun sharing stories over a "light" American style breakfast ;D It was very cool hearing his (and her!) tale of taking his car to the VolksWorld show and making a feature in the magazine. Congratulations on a job well done. Also, many thanks to both of you for taking the extra effort to attend, it made it a special event I'll never forget.


As a side note, we are going to skip the first Saturday in May because of Mother's Day.
The next event is planned for June 4th 2011 which should work out well and serve to kick off the "the Week"

Yaeh it was a little light.....But none the less was a "Great time " as always ...!! it was really Kool to meet Tero and Sanna....All the way from Finland to wanna spend a Saturday morning with us was very Kool...!! And Congrats to them on gettin the car in "Volkswold" Hope to see them again soon...!!...Lookin foward to the next one in June !!!

Pleasure was all ours  :) This is what I enjoy most, getting to know new people and swap some stories. Also great to get a glimpse about depth of the scene (both today and what it was) and learn about other clubs, like DKK and DSK, that haven't been so widely exposed in historical magazine articles etc.

It's that time again, we will be meeting this Saturday June 4th for the regular Bugs for Breakfast gathering.
Anyone who wants to join us in kicking off the Classic Week is welcome to come.
The meeting will begin ~8:30am at the regular place,
RUBY'S DINER
10109 WHITTWOOD DRIVE
WHITTIER,CA
Looking forward to a big crowd, so dust off your Bugs and we'll see you there!

Yeah ......Sorry guyz I didn't make it I've been busy puttin in my new motor.....I was thinkin about makin this morning ..but changed my plans !...I will be showin off  my new motor this week.......God willing....?

Hell Ya! Lets get it in tomorrow Randy! I can be there early in the morning to get this thing humming. I'll call ya later.

I couldn't make it either to BFB, had things to do that could not wait, wish I did though turned out to be a nice morning.

Ted

Yes, I DID... saw all the old guys, & got to tell a special story to a guy I'm sure didn't want to hear it!!!
It involved jail, bail, & a fast trip to the Louisville airport !! The year 1985. He remembered it, but did
not know all the details. Needless to say, he was happy I helped him out!  On the money front, I was
able to sell some old stuff just taking up room in the garage !!! That will help with my CLASSIC BUDGET !!!
Sorry to have missed Bugs for Breakfast -- but I had my own Bugs for BMX --- lots of people enjoy VW's     ;)

Geez, Crazy how so many of us are into the same things ... Vintage BMX ... You know I STILL HAVE my bike from back in the day! Even found my old racing pants in the closet this past weekend. Rode it from age 12 to 18 or so. I'd give a date, but don't want to age myself, LMAO.

Sorry for the hijack ... alright, back on topic ...

Ok guys it's that time of the month again ;D

We will be getting together this Saturday the 2nd of July for our regular Bugs for Breakfast meeting at Ruby's Diner in Whittier.

If the turn out is light and lowoval is planning to attend, we may switch it to Norm's Famous Burgers down the street. Norm's has regular internet specials, and this week it's two eggs, two sausage or bacon, two pancakes, coffee or hot chocolate for only $3.00! The parking is limited at this venue, but the food is great (better than Ruby's IMHO).
 
Anyone interested please chime in early.

See ya'll there!

way to put the pressure on me, I am in, unless my friday night is too eventfull.

You forgot "Omm nomm nomm"!!!

I"m IN.... I know I've been a little quiet lately, but I may have something to say on SATURDAY!!

Great story :)

As Jack said, Mr. Skeeter's car sure turned out sweet. I saw it at the DKK display last Bug-In and was blown away with how nice it looks in person. The color is perfect too.

Take some pics sombody and post. Have a great time everyone!!

Ted

Sorry you can't make it Ted.  You can't see it real good in the photo, but the DRA logo in the photo is not a decal, but a hard lens style badge.   I had a few made and they came out looking pretty good.

...Ed.

Legendary DRA

Well Guyz ...I thought I was going to make it ...!... Sorry I had to change my plans..!!...had a important matter to deal with Hope it was a good one .!

Soooooooooooo......how was the turn out, any pics?????????

Ted

Sorry for not getting any good pics Ted, the battery's in my camera have died ::)
Good meeting and nice warm weather as usual. As well as the usual suspects the highlights were Mark R aka Kato had his new Weber motor in the '67, first timer and Ed Craigs neighbor Deans nice '67, and Ralph from the VW Goldmine brought his '56 oval he's owned since 1966!
The oval was a blast from the past, complete with dozens of dash plaques dating from 1968, including
Bug-In 1, 8-Track tape player with The Beach Boys playing, and vintage Autohaus and Deano stickers under the hood and decklid! Real sorry I didn't get any good pics of it, the ones I took with a phone are too large ::). I will try to arrange a private photo session ;)
Hope to see you guys next month.

Hi Bruce, no worries, looks like it was a blast, for sure next one I'll be there. Yup! Definitely Marks car is very cool with that new motor, runs so smooth. But looks like I did miss a good one.

Ted

Sounds like peer pressure to me  ;D

Nice musical tie in

No pressure here! I'm there Sat.  ;D As long as it doesn't rain! :-\

Ted

What your car can't get wet Ted???
Rain or shine --- you can always drive the family car !!!
