within a week they weren't round anymore.....they were half moon shaped.  ;D

Were you given notice that the Bergler was gonna be there or did it show up without notice??  ;D ;D ;D

Just when you thought it was safe... ::) ;D  

Thanks for sharing a few of your old pics, Jim...brings back memories of days gone by!  8)

Alright, a few more nuggets:

#4: Aufklarung club card and pic of my dad's '59 pickup (2054cc) loaded for recycling (weekly trip  ;D)

yeah my car was still zenith blue there, lowered in front, euro-blades, and yes a STINGER.
in that picture we were stuck at that spot for about 8 hours, neither of us could drive.

guess you guys were just sat in the shade having some beers or what?  ;D

one more, this was day I left carb caps on before trying to start car, leaving Kelley Park show 1995, and even MSD couldn't get me outta there. I had to unsrew some plugs and crank motor to spew the fuel out. DUMBASS

Awesome picture!!!!  :o  Thanks for sharing Jim................

yeah jim i like the pics as well if i could see them.  :-*

I feel a group hug coming on!  ;D

haha, what's wrong with a little TLC?  ;) ;D

Hi     I remember those days         parts, grease and guys....
Do you remember the time all the gas got all over your body and we had to call poison control
because it was buring your skin.......

some nice old photos jim - i do remember selling you some stuff - but cant remember it all -

Joanie loves Chachi, how freakin sweet ;D

Which creep are you???  ;D ;D ;D

Sorry Jim, I just couldn't pass that up!  ::) ::)

I think this is it. It might be Scott Bakken's (Carlos's) They are so similar.

Hey, I still have 6 pack abs. Well, before I drank 4 of them.  ;D

I still have 6 pack abs... I just keep them in a refrigerator!  ;D ;D ;D

It is also pictured on the CLF under members "McKenzie".

Now that I look, Larry didn't have the passenger mirror or the Monster tach, other than that they are clones.

sheep allways dresses funny - still to this day - jim you let your mom call posion control ? - what did you drink gas thinging it was a beer ? 8)

Thanks Jim.......

Yes, that is my car.  Scott Bakken was the previous owner!!!  8)

 I got to take a pic of the car with the funny wheels..... :D :D

Sweet pictures. I really dig the vanagon camping experience.
My mom had one when I was a kid and I recall something resembling barnacles growing in it....or was that her Chevelle?

Look at this goofy SOB  ;D

wow John that is an OLD picture, taken probably before I knew Dorman that well (way before we started the club). Frank befriended Sean while I was living in Quincy CA on my one year hiatus from BH, and when I moved back Frank told me there was some dude that thought he wanted to make a fast Bus and that drank as much as we did, obviously I had to meet this guy. Later I found out it was Dorman, who before I met and got to know, was known to a friend of mine as a thief. What a lie. Sean was probably one of the coolest guys I had the pleasure of hanging out with. We had a few college classes together later on and always managed to get kicked out for some reason. Sean's '65 Bus eventually ended up with the hot 1914 from Frank's red '67, although we detuned it with smaller heads, Kadrons and no more K8. Still, it ran well.
I'll see if I can dig up some more old pictures and newsletters from the club, and the monthly mailer from BH.
Share some more pics, John.

more old junk for Kyle.... see your old car, pre 2016 Version 2.0?

Those are sweet pics man...my car without BRM's  what was I thinking   So many good times    Kyle

Thief? Hmm i bet I know who said that! Actually I've been tryiing to track you down so I could get my Who-Live at the Isle of Wight cd back!

Man those were fun days. I still have the club sticker on my bus and even found a few newsletters and my shirt. That pic of Frank next to the bus (66 SO-44 Westfalia) was taken at the Ancil Hoffman get together before Sac BOR in maybe 94 or 95. I think that may have been when i had the 1914 but i'm not sure. I rreally wish we had some pics of the Death Valley trip we took. Remember the looks on all the faces behind the wheels of Land Rovers when they saw a bus full of nut jobs barreling up that road? Not quite the speed of light but that bus moved pretty good. 

i have your cd!
yeah that Death Valley "trip" was the work of true maniacs. Thinking back....modded swingaxle bus, used dual carbs, no sleep, beer o'plenty and myna birds stacking croutons in moonlight.... we should have hitched a ride w/ the Land  rover guys

LOL!

We lived to tell about it which may not be case had we picked up those hitchhikers up in Tuolumne Meadows! :o

you mean it isn't normal to lay down in permafrost @ 9500' in late November?

if you have a scanner and any old pics, share them or you can do it my way, the Auto Zone scanner way.
