I am bringing a scrapbook belonging to one of the earliest DKP I members full of dash plaques and even an original DKP 1 jacket patch.   8)

Looking forward to seeing that SB and meeting Russel too.

You have gone completely mad!

I'll be bringing this old thing, again- if it makes it!! If anyone sees me, be sure to say hi, smack me upside the head, whatever you feel is neccessary ;)

The way the airlines keep charging for extra bags, I am just going to bring a speedo!

For the toy show.

Thats in like 1 week right?

No Classic for me... I just wrapped up the best "local" show here in Oregon, the Woodburn Bug Run.  The rumor I heard was somehwere in the neighborhood of 150 plus show cars, no idea how many race cars (a lot, they had to actually run two sportsman classes this year) and a vast swap meet.  I attended this show thinking I would have a nice, leisurely event to pace myself at after the Bug In 33 experience, but man, I am beat!  The Woodburn, Oregon U.S.A. event is continually getting to be the place to be VW-wise in Oregon.  It was definitely worth the hundreds of miles traveled from rural Lakeview to make it once again!

KPH or MPH ?
 ;D

Tylenol. The new car is on the way, should be crossing into California sometime today. Luckily I'm flying down on Thursday. Sarge, got a sandwich?

I'm bringing Doris as long as the trans. holds together for me. Also I'm bringing an empty stomach for the TACOS!

HAVE A NICE EVENT AND TRIP DUDES

Russell,

I am glad someone is going to bring it back to what it used to be. The car originally had different wheels too. Dave and Dyno can get it done,..it's only two fenders, two quarters, two doors, one hood, and one cowl to paint, and the base is already mostly red.

I looked seriously at that car when it recently came up for sale. I have always had soft spot for that car. One of the reasons I chopped my first bug. The other T3 I was looking at was the raspberry Notch Automatic from many years ago. Good luck it is going to be in good hands.

beer and sunblock

and my '67

Will do Fred! Get ready for EBI #3 ;D

BAD DAY

Arrive in the states last night, Houston to be exact only to find out the car shipper had thought the car had to be picked up on the 3rd/4th June not delivered on the 3rd/4th, so i have pissed off half of flordia (shippers main office) and all of Houston and the car is still at my work.....

My task today is get it moving...... its like the old saying, if you want something done right do it yourself or as keith would say get an  english man to do and not an american !!!! ;D

what a start !

Don't blame the shippers! they probably got their years mixed up! ;D

Good to see you married up.  ;D

Need to paint it tonight, then just hook up the cigarette lighter and I'm there!
Oh yeh, and stick this thing in too. Later, Casey. :o

That's a couple long nights!

I've got a couple of gallons of water base latex house paint and some rollers....call me if you need help ::) ;D

I can't seem to find the hole the lighter goes in! Sarge can you grab your diagram and head on over and show me. I'll even show ya my cup holders.

Well, I was planning on bringing myself but its just not going to happen this year. I just bought a house and have a LOT of work to do and need to spend some time with the family not to mention the cost of the trip is just a bit too much right now. So I am really sorry to those I may of pissed off with this decision but hopefully they will understand.

Russell,

It is understandable that you are upset, you have every right to be. However, are you certain that it was an AMERICAN, not an illegal bordercrosser that "no si habla English". Or perhaps it may have been a drunken Limey? Food for thought.

Enjoy your visit to the United States Of America.

Casey, was that the Beryl Green car with the Green engine tin?  Wow, really nice.  The B&P is something else.  Who did it?  The door hinges were the best finish I've seen in a long time, and the paint finish was fantastic.  Congratulations!

I appreciate that Dave. Yes the Beryl green 62' is mine. I did all the work myself at my house. The only time it had to leave me was to have West Coast Classic install carpet and headliner. The paint is a labor of love, I tell ya. It's not perfect, but I am very happy with it. I was friggin' tickled to death when Danny Gabber and Lanny Hussey gave me some props for the work I did. I look up to those guys for sure. I will post up some pics when I can learn how to take a friggin' take one. Maybe I'll have to have Sarge do a shoot for me and I get him some beer...a!

That's fantastic!  Great job on that car, inside and out.  I really liked the subtlety of the car.........tach mount.........upholstery. 
I look forward to seeing it again

The Slingle Cab made it there and back nearly unscathed :) Only problem was the NOS drivers side door handle decided to break on Friday, but Gabriel had it fixed up by Staurday morning at OCTO :)

Glad I finally got the chance to talk to you Russell! See you at EBI3 ;D
