The Cal-look Lounge

This is the situation I'm in; all my VW books, Volksworlds, Hot Vw's; even my '63 Notchback, have gone ready for my move from the UK to New Zealand.  Lots to look forward to, but many late nights sorting and packing to come yet.

Does anyone have a good 'computer desktop' size pic of Bill's car that I can put on my pc to brighten my day until my move on the 18th August? (and importantly until I finish work on the 14th!)

Many thanks;
Richard

enjoy and have a nice moove travel

Shoot me an email before you get to Anaheim, maybe we can take it for a spin. Bill

I never noticed that Bill S.'s car had an engine turned firewall cover. That looks slick.

Thanks for the pictures everyone; one emailed to me by Sarge of a club outing now adorns my desktop!

Bill, I will definiately email you before we leave the UK.  If there is the chance to meet it would be great.

Richard

very nice ragtop 59 european I love lol
it is 2276 ratio 8.5 with berg 5 for 12.48 at 1/4 mile lol
cheers bill's

The black painted BRMs in the top pic are genuine Mg.  The grey ones were not.  Bill has 2 sets of wheels/tires.  The grey FF BRMs are gone now, replaced with other FF wheels.  The real BRMs will always be with Bill.

GREAT COLOR BILL..... ;D

here in france we got a lot of bill's bug replica, red coral,BRM,big engine
when they publish the car in french vw mag the coral bug became a new standart fashion ;D

Bill's car is the coolest car out there!  8)

I'm trying to learn to scan a re-size photos...here's a couple out of the album.

Wow! The empi 5s look cool! - The Enkeis don't... I'm sorry I'm not a big fan  :-\

Sarge, please try the scan in the second photo again. It looks cool!
It looks like this one:

P.s. is that Doug Mische in front of Bill's ride?

Great pics!  More, more, more!

Wish I could show ya how to scan 'em BIG.  Then we'd all be happier.   ;D

Thanks guys!  I cannot even remember where that photo was taken wtih the Empis,  I liked it w/ those . Nao @ Flat 4 really liked the Empi's so I sold them to him. Ironically the trans. broke the same weekend & I needed a new 5 spd r&p and a few other things so that was the end of the money. This Sept. I will have had that car for 18yrs.  seems like yesterday.  Bill

You're lucky Sarge can scan them  ;)

Sorry Jim, you've a package on it's way to make up for it  ;)

Hey There are my Old Empi 5 Spokes heres a Picture when I had Them

i remember the car in the magazine with the empi 5 i said it's look very different with the empi and i prefer the car with  the 5 spokes , i will search after the pictures  and scan then  ;)

First time I saw it in person was at one of (If not the) last show at Famoso near Bakersfield. I`d already seen it in the magazine nut it cool to park next to Bill there. I had a total 80`s resto 2 tone oval ragtop then. It was aqua and white with chromies, white mudflaps, breezies, D emblem... anyway you get the idea. I have`nt been the same since then.

I prefer the car with original BRMs  ;D
