The Cal-look Lounge

i want to have moer info on his cool yellow ride. i never thought it was fast, just a nice daily, but it looked quite fast in a video i saw a while back. so all info is more then welcome. plus it seems like there are some type3's being built so it might be good inspiration  ;)

is that the yellow square with the purple and black graphics along the rockers?
if so, it's featured in a Hot VWs issue i own.

the name reminds me something , but can you describe the car and any idea about the publication ???

do you mean Craig Foster? in which case its the yellow square back with the panel van conversion nd the EMPI 8's

ok i see this one now
dkp I
report will come

here we go nico ;)

 ;)

is it a video i show you??? the one at carlsbad ???

Foster's panel seem to disappear kinda early on. I only saw it for a short period of time, and then, poof..... Perhaps Sarge will know where this cool T-3 went....

yep that vid. You see, i try to be attentive too.  ;)

thanks for the report and info. it looks a lot more custom then i thought at first, but the it works for me. i like the paneled type3's and if i am not mistaken it was also a bit of an inspiration for Rusell's panel to some degree.

so if someone knows more about what happened, just shime in.

 ;D

I love that steering wheel.  Cal-Look for sure!  Is that what you are using in the '67 Deano?   :D

Early days!

John L.... keep in mind that the date that Kodak printed on the photo edge was the month it was PROCESSED, and not shot.... So, depending on how long Sarge left the film in his camera, that photo could have easily been taken in '70. And you're right, Foster was one funny guy!

OK, after looking at the pics here closely, we have two different license plate numbers.  Here's an old shot of Craig's car when it was yellow that's been on here before.  For the life of me, I can't remember who's gray car that was out at the park.  A couple more shot's of Craig himself... quite the ladies man.  That's John's wife Christie in the first pic and Jim Brooks, Valerie Hunt and our man in the second.  Craig was ALWAYS a riot and a guy who loved showing you what he was eating (as in the pic with Jim & Valerie).  His drink of choice was Creme de Banana which he sipped until the bottle was empty.  The best vet tale I ever heard him tell involved a women who wanted to breed her German Shepard.  Her dog (male) had no clue about mounting the female or what to do when he got up there so Craig held the female while the Doc got the male "ready" and into position.  After all was over, the male dog was the doctor's new best friend following him out the door.... ;D  Good times and a great guy! 8)

What I recall from some of the DKP meetings I went to on Chestnut Street, the three most outspoken members were; Sarge, John L, and Ron F, and the funniest guys were; Craig Foster and Jim Brooks.

Hey thats straight up Mid-West Look there Corny!!!! God California was a beautiful place in the early 70's

Yeah, it was nice in the '70s, you just couldn't see it from all the smog.

The guy on the left looks like Arnie, then Bill M., the third guy could be Bill Swanson or possibly Dave Patrick (blonde hair)... my bet is Swanson.

Yikes.....I wonder if that was the same large black dildo that the same certain club member gave my wife for a birthday present joke way back when ?????

I'd rather not think so............LOL

Marc, I'm sorry to inform you it MORE THAN LIKELY IS..  :'( :'( :'( :'(

.... and the same one that was once seen hanging out the fly of the worlds largest pair of Levis at a rather, um wild party. ::) ;D

John, I now take back the part about your leadship qualities.....

i am glad my topic led to these stories (maybe not the full content, but hey) ;D
keep sharing

i am also almost certain that the two cars although they have different plates are the same car. the rearvieuw mirror is the same and is (now) a part that is quite hard to find and i think many people don't go through the trouble of changing or locating a different models rearvieuwmirror.

  Well, what can I say....  I do remember those HUGH Levis that were purchased and given to Doug (The Mass) Gordon and ended up on the wall of the clubhouse.  Dean, remember "leadership" also requires stating the facts.. ;)

Youth is wasted on the young… ;)

Can anyone identify the red car behind the picnic table and the brown car with BRMs, on the right.

The brown car looks like Thurber's to me.

 ;)

Rick Winter (red car, second from left) ) and Dave Velton (dark car, third from right)...

thx uncle  ;)

Who's Corvette in the background?  :)

Ahah! I was given incorrect information by Mr R Fleming on that one! Somebody give the old dog a sound trashing! :D

Oh brother, this isn't going to end well…  :D :D :D

Well, you're still in England... way out of reach!  ;)

True – but the old man is coming over to EBI and threatening to come visit me… Better change the locks. :D

By then he will have forgotten!

  actually John,  Ron is trying to cut that hair of his but has vowed not to untill he turns in a 9 sec. time slip..

The ol' man's probably scared after reading the Old Testament story of Sampson cutting his hair just to please a woman... and losing all his strength! :D
