The Cal-look Lounge

The BIG WEEK is finally here and certainly no better way to get things started then a BBQ at Steve Beecher's house yesterday.  Sharon and I
drove the '67 down to Steve's in the early afternoon to avoid the inevitable traffic-jams, had some damn good hamburgers and brats plus a few
too many brewskis; then the crowd showed up!  Gregg B drove his '37 Lincoln and brought Speedwell, Freddy, Mike, Fred & Dimitri... great to see
old friends again!  Dave K., Dustin, Don C, Jason, Stephan, Fleming, Seume, Scott P, Tim Walton and others soon followed; it was ON!! ;D

 :)

There's ALWAYS something going on in Beecher's garage... the grey sleeper got a nitrous upgrade :o  That old split is
gonna need a LOT of love!

 ;)

Dustin's new Ghia project is a thing of BEAUTY! 

Great to see the photos.  Will you be able to keep the pictures coming as the weekend progresses?  Thanks!

Great pics Sarge.Thx for posting.  ;)

Great pics

Have a great bug-in everyone

Great pics, keep em coming!  ;)

Thank you Jim for sharing.

Thanks guys... I have plenty more but will have to wait to post; I'm burnt out (blatoed) after all today's festivities at the DKP reunion and dinner at the Aronson's.  Tomorrow, the BUG-IN! ;D  Stay tuned!

OK, time to head over to downtown Garden Grove for the DKP Friday night cruise.  Always exciting dealing with road aces in a Bug on the freeway especially on Friday ::)
Roll the pics.... but first, a cupcake!

 ;D

 Getting to see Arnie Mohlman AND his '67 was way past cool!!

Cool pics! Did he buy the car back from RR?

Jim

Thanks for sharing the pictures looks like it was a great weekend.

A little off topic but can I have a one of each on the board?

Thanks Steve!  As for Arnie, I don't have an answer for your question.


Thanks Wray... be careful what you wish for; some of that stuff is pretty dangerous ;D

I'd post more pics here but it is a huge PITA as it takes for ever.  Sorry guys.

No, Russell shipped it over for the week.
Seeing arnie drive it with his wife & daughter in it on Saturday was a highlight of the trip 8)
He's now looking for another savanna '67!
cheers
Kevin

Thank You Sarge for the pictures, and still dont know how you mastered to take them incognito/LOL...     As for Arnie: No, he is not going to buy back his car from Russell, however he was teary eyed for the weekend ,just from smelling that Pure VW smell from his old cars interior. He is quite a guy, cool as hell, and very funny..!! For ME personally, it was perhaps one of The Best weekends I had to spend in a very long time.  Steve Beecher was an incredible host with prepping and cooking and making sure everyone was at Home.  Many Thanks to ALL..!!   Dyno Don

You rock sarge! Your event coverage is always a highlight for me! We'll worth the wait

Does arnie's car run a period ida engine?

Good seeing everybody Saturday. Sorry I couldn't make it Sunday. Thanks for posting pictures Sarge. Very cool gathering Saturday, amazing the passion is still steaming hot for the scene.... after 50 years. Doesn't look it's ever going to fade!

So, what a day Saturday's reunion was... unbelievable!!  It all happened way too fast and was over before it really even got started; but that's the way it is.  I feel fortunate to be a part of
such a great group of guys; that thought was certainly driven home many times Saturday. :)

On to Bug-In 40...

Hey, Who won the DRKC?

thanks for all the great pics sarge ! sad i had to miss this ill see you at classic weekend

That decklid is awesome!!

Fun Facts : The DKP car show on main st in Garden grove was in fact where my old club DGVA had their club house many moons ago just a few doors down from the incredible Azteca restaurant. I was one of the first customers back in 1980 when the late "Connie" opened the doors. Another interesting note here, the server that served me and Andre from DKP 3, remembered me after not seeing me nearly 20 years since my last time there. He came there under Connie's wing when he was just 16 years of age, and he is now in his forties..!! The food was STILL Spectacular..!!  Very cool evening to say the least.

You are welcome! Btw, it's the first DFL hood badge that was ever given to someone outside the club! ;-) Glad you guys like our gift!
