Title: Possibly the last cruise of the season......With video....
Post by: Mike Maize on October 11, 2010, 01:16:14 am
The Javabug is in pieces so I loaned him a driver for the day ;) Mike Hauer, his main man Jack and I saddled up my two bugs and took them on a cruise to a little VW get together at our local Quaker Steak and Lube. Weather was perfect and the cars were running great. Turnout was low but we didn't care much.....

A little ride along in my 67 following my buddy Al's 2110 57 out of town!

You bet I did.  And that convertible is a true pleasure to drive.  Here's the few shots I got.

You know what's truly sexy in that shot loading Jack into the car?  That garage door!  Man, whoever painted that did a great job!   8)

Good stuff guys. Fall weather is perfect for driving VWs. Cant wait to go home for Thanksgiving and take my car for a blast.

Thanks guys it was a simple fun day. I might still get a chance to sneak it to the track if the weather holds out a few more weeks.

is that noise in 4th due to the coarse tooth gear? ;D

Thanks Zach, and yes Died it is coarse 3&4+solid mounts+no rear seat or sound deaden-er = noise :o My sons Iphone actually did the best job I have heard of getting the actual sound of the car...it is very loud inside.

That car has had Empi fives, and BRMs. The Ansens are my favorite look on it by far!

Hey guys. Nice cruise. Cars sound sweet.
Yeah, it sounds rad inside with all that gear noise.
Can't wait until you get it all tuned-in at the track.
 
I love the way you PA guys do it "old school".

Thanks Tom! You have to feel good knowing your work made all those sounds possible....Tom built the complete drivetrain for the oval and the 67. DdK RULES!
