The Cal-look Lounge

First I would like to thank all who have been helping out promoting this event! I see banners and links to the site everywhere, very cool!

we are slowly getting there on the organization side but there is still plenty plenty left to do..

it's clear that this show is going to be something else! something mad and never seen or experienced before! full on quarter mile racing with Europe's top nostalgia gassers, next to it a sweet categorized vwclassic style show and shine, a good swapmeet (hopefully, it all depends on what you swapmeeters bring to sell) the slalom track etc etc. like most know already the site is the Chimay Racetrack in the South of Belgium and it should be one sweet weekend! www.chimay.be

I see many people are Building cars now with as deadline 29th of June 2007!  ;D   SO WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING OR RESTORING OR MODIFYING?

or what car you got that will be there at the show??? brand new built Racer or old Cal Looker with some patina? time to dust them off and show them in the sunlight!!!

thanks to all for the support! and remember one thing YOU will make the Show! if you leave your car home, it'll be one less cool car there to see...

Hey Koob,
if you lent me 4 period old school wheels for a 1940s car,
I will be driving Dr Mac Jones 1940 Kubel to the BugIn
Mac is currently restoring in Germany, and making engine and chassis up to oem standards
bullet holes and body remain untouched
so decide on the wheels, and I'll drive this one to the BugIn 2007
it's going to be a super show, that I know for sure

see you next week
Gunter.

What times does it do and is it a street car? :P

Kinda cool when you have a show and people drop in from all over because they want to be there. This isthe show for 2007!

Roll on Bug-In!

June is going to be hectic, first Bug Run, then Bad Camberg and European Bug In..

Not sure ,but hopefully some of these should be makin the crossing nxt year ,Higgy,s buggy ,Flatfires ghia(or maybe his wifes Fiat ;)) and Colins 54

What about the off road track  ??? ;)

I'll bring this to race, not a gasser but it's gasser inspired :)
and my karmann project hopefully...

We will all be there Donald tell Magoo to sort out his shifts now not 5 minutes before we get on the ferry.
Drive on at Rosyth bingo were in Belgium the next day sober and ready to go. :P ::)

I love making up VW club names. I have doing a bit of research on cool Scottish names one that pops up is Ecurie Ecosse.
So we could call ourselves VW Ecurie Ecosse. The VW racing stable of Scotland losely translated.
Ecurie Ecosse won Les Mans in 1957 and 58. They were ran out of a small garage in Edinburgh.

I'm driving the ghia there and we are going to trailer the Fiat. Its all hands on deck this month when it arrives, to get it stripped down and ready
for paint.

I can't wait, even if someone tells me I have to work these dates I will quit.

That reminds me of "Ecurie Escargot!"

hey Monkiboy.
there will be a field with some kind of a track there for the buggies and other offroaders to have some kind of fun, but the place doesn;t allow us to dig up the whole place and turn it into a mudbox.. so expect some sort of tracked out field with haybales or something? anyways it's part of the big plan :-)

but the week between Camberg and Bugin should be filled with activities like our yearly D.A.S. Off Road Division Mud Day on a real serious purposebuit terrain :-)

Thats cool dude just as long as I've got somewhere to slide the Manx around I'm happy  ;D

But I don't know if you read my other posts but I will be over for that week and I was looking for something to do between the two shows - do you think I could tag along on D.A.S. Off Road Division Mud Day  ;) ???

2007 is going to be AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

More like "Ecurie Lievre" ;D

Pete ,mind giv me a shout when the fiats arriving ,allready booked a sick day off work ;D,will see if Colin can make it up as well.Am away on holiday until the 16th Nov from nxt Monday ,when you back home?Also got a set of 48 ida,s for the fiat if needed :)

Sliding The Manx around will be possible, field+haybales=track hehe :-) hehe a bit of slalom and quartermile will be possible too ;-)

about the Mud Day, this (if goes like planned) will be held on the OffRoad track of Nivelles, and yes you can join in with your manx, there is a soft and a realy hard track both are major fun and this MUDevent is open to all aircooled"offroad"vehicles, last time there was even some bone stock 181's and some buggies with street tires (kubel and schwimmwagen blew us away with their skills, and the Unimog came in realy handy to pull stuck landrovers out of the mud...hehe).... anyways it's a blast, fun to do and fun to watch, a nice day with BBQ on the spot, so Lee see you there! :-) (all others welcome too ofcorse!)

Sober and Scottish? for the drive maybe... but once there... oh boy! this is no German beer that will be served there... the European Bug In is Officially Sponsored by... www.Chimay.be and those monks know how to brew a "strong ale" hehe

Kobus we will be there in body and spirit (whiskey). ;D
Have you sorted out the announcer I vote for Dyno Don.

Bring on the strong ale tell the monks were coming and hells coming with us. ;D

my bet is on the bo$$ being the speaker of the event

Gunter.

Cool I'll be there for sure dude - I might even leave it covered in mud for BUG IN ;D ;D

Just drop me a line nearer the time with the dates etc - Is there a camp site near you that I can stay for the week?

God I can't wait  ;D ;D ;D

P.S I vote for Dyno Don aswell  :)

Some Belgian mud...

Kobus,
Will there be a list how to get a Hotel-Motel nearbay the track, (like in SPA) ......or will there be a camping site on the spot...

Who is the Bo$$ or is that a obvious question. ???

I was just thinking if we had a poll of popular cal-look heros we all put 10 euros in the pot we could sponsor the winner to bring himself and his car over from the USA.
We have 427 members the maths is easy. Just a thought :)

..all I can say about the Bo$$, is that he loves your h-a$$!!   ;D

He is only human after all  :D

I know who you mean now :-X

LOL

well not a Gasser.... but WHAT A LOOKER!!!

the Randy Gates Splitwindow on Burners just arrived in Aberdeen, Europe's Callook haven!

and yes this car will be at the European Bug In! the amount of mindblowing cars that will be present... pfff... i wish i could fastforward and be friday 29th of june 2007 tomorrow allready!   

Hi Kobus,

<" i wish i could fastforward and be friday 29th of june 2007 tomorrow allready!"


I hope you couldn´t, because there are so many thinks to do on our cars! ;)

But you´re right, can´t wait to see you all in Chimay!

Cheers  Otto

hmm.. who is the new owner of the gates car? I am going to aberdeen soon.. Would be nice to take a closer look on that beauty... Its definately something I look at when restauring one of my 52's
If I can't see it there I will see it at Bug In which is a MUST event next year...

 ;D

Cheers for pointing out my mistake Matt

Perhaps we should have a beer at the VolksWorld show , and you can educate me about the whole Gasser thing  :)

une Chimay Bleu????????

No problem , I have moved the Cal-Look car pictures , away from the Gasser thread , to the other EBI thread .

Thanks for your help with the space at EBI Kobus , it is very much appreciated .

All our club guys are very very excited about EBI  ;D

We will be promoting The EBI , on our club stand at The VolksWorld Show .
