Title: How about a DKK Thread Post by: RichardinNZ on September 07, 2011, 22:24:26 pm I'm always seeing shots of DKK cars and they look pretty cool, but never know which belongs to who etc. How about a thread showing current and past DKK cars?
Thanks Richard Title: Re: How about a DKK Thread Post by: Martin Greaves on September 07, 2011, 22:35:51 pm Some in here.

Hey Ted. Unfortunately, other interests and hobbies came into play and the car basically ended up stored unprotected in my carport for a few years and just wasting away. The 2-liter alloys were traded a couple years before and motor was gone by the time I sold it to a neighbor kid for about a grand or so (I think I was getting ready to move at the time). I remember standing in the driveway, watching the kid and his buddy pushing it down the street to his parent's house and I never saw it again. :'( Title: Re: How about a DKK Thread Post by: funnycarmike on September 26, 2011, 23:04:10 pm DKK's Jimmy Yowell . . . .

Ted Title: Re: How about a DKK Thread Post by: Dan Mazur on November 09, 2011, 19:47:08 pm During the time Tod Fuller owned his '67 Karmann-Ghia, he put together a very clean '65 sunroof sedan. Tod had the rear quarter pop-out window glass etched to read "Blue Hawaii". The wheels were refurbished original BRM's. The color was Polar Blue and it was the color that inspired me to paint my '69 a very light shade of pastel yellow. Currently, this is one of the only photos I'm aware are on the lounge. Tod has more photos and they will be posted soon.

Jeff was a club member after I left. He worked a miracle on this car as it was really rough. Originally he had it painted orange with rainbow stripes across the back. According to Tod, Jeff's car was featured in a Hot VW's tech artical about convertible top installation. Jeff offered to paint his car yellow and scored a free top for allowing his car to be featured in the artical!

I'm too stuffed and relaxed (lobster burrito, Fat Tire Ale, & half a box of Oreos) to find it. But GREAT car! Stoked that his BRMs still live on in D.K.P.
Title: Re: How about a DKK Thread Post by: Dan Mazur on November 26, 2011, 00:57:40 am Tod has a CD ROM with some photos of his cars. Here are a few of the better quality shots, including his '65 Sunroof, Karmann-Ghia, '67 Sedan(Yes, he owned a '67) and a couple of Jeff Ruggeri's(Note the rainbow paint and the cute girls). ;D

I thought those very same things when I transferred these wonderful analog memories onto digital media for Tod. Thank God for pictures, for nothing else better captures those long since gone memories of what used to be. Well... other than actually being lucky enough to have been there.

Title: Re: How about a DKK Thread Post by: Rennsurfer on December 11, 2011, 18:51:46 pm Took the Bug out for a little drive, yesterday, and scored some taller rear tires (205/65/15) for next to nothing. The 205/60 ones that I removed can go on my Volvo wagon.
