Not sure yet, but I like the idea of a book launch party, DKP/DKK-style somewhere in the… now let me see… Chino area? :D

Hey I got to ride in that car! Congrats Sarge on the cover shot and to Keith for getting it done.

--louis

Tobi

 ;D

Keith,

Gwynn will give me a call when the signed ones are in at VW collectibles. 8)

How about a book signing  (party) at the end of Oct.  You could do it the Sat night before Drag day. Just trying to spend your money for you...

Congrat's Sarge on the front cover shot, well deserved. btw wasn't that photo taken at one of the DKP really check points?

Hey Bill, may not have the books in by then, but would be a great idea – would love to drive the Hunsaker/Fleming car again at Drag Day, too!

You and your books are holding up a party...HURRY UP!!! ::) ;D

Way to go KS and congrats Sarge.  Looking forward to reading the book!

Thanks for the kind words, Art and to all of you who have posted like comments..., it really means a lot and is a huge honor.  The pic was snapped in Chino early this year.

Hey guys, don't tell Sarge just yet, but I haven't sent him the bill for the 'privilege'... $$$$$$$  ;D

There I fixed it for you Keith. :D

--louis

Kool!  8)

;D
Martin.

Nice one Keith cant wait!!!

Oh, and I bet Sarge cant wait for the royalties either!!.... ;D ;D $$

All the best guys,

Paul

Royalties? Royalties? Sarge is paying ME! ;D ;D ;D

Holy Crap! :)

The BOOK is done :D

So nice to have birthsday at the end of november :) Gotta make a hint to wife for a birtsday gift :D

Yeah, I need BIG royalties $,$$$,$$$.$$  ;) ;D

Good for you, Sarge...Since the day I met you I've never seen anything but a huge smile. You've got it all covered.
gary

Thanks, man!

I still think there were some "sexual" favors involved for that cover shot....

Sausage Bonus.

Trust a journalist to think of that! Anything to sell magazines, right?  ;D

Are we going to get this book in hard back if so i would like one.


Because someone has nicked the brick i use to stop my car from rolling back. :P ;D

Can we order signed issues somewhere when the book comes out?

Sarge's social secretary is working out the schedual.

Great news KS !

How many book's will print ? ( just for know if we must to 'fight' for take one ! ) 8)

 ;)

Speaking of which, have any of you guys seen Carlos??  I sent him out to buy some Sharpies over an HOUR ago.... ::) ;D

Three - one for me, one for Sarge and one to put on eBay...  :D

Sarge, I saw Carlos with your five bucks doing about 80 toward the border. Keith, what sizes of books are you going to have, and can I try them on first?

Can't have been in his Bug, then. Must have been that pickup loaded with ten mattresses, six chairs, two dogs and his granny. Only that can go that fast…
About 29 inside leg, with 38DD bust. OK?

Hey Keith are the books done yet. I know you're 8 hours ahead of us but with the exchange rate in your favor and you using the metric system is it the end of September in the UK yet?

 ;D ;D ;D

You have no ideal than what can I do for take one ...  :o :o

Maybe something good for you  :-*, or maybe something bad if you ask me for that  ::)

 ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)

I will wait ... on Ebay !  :D

Sarge, well done you deserve it, your car is superb, hope you sign over it for me  ;D

Ps. Ill bring the pure scottish whisky for the party ?

Rick - We've just celebrated Christmas. Did you miss it?  8)

Max - Do you have a sister? :P

Be careful Sarge. Next thing you know the red car will be boxed up and heading over seas.  ;D

--louis

Is it done yet?  ;D

BRING IT!  ;D ;D


FORGET IT!! >:( >:(

I thought you fired mortars!

so that's where the nickname "Sarge" comes from?

Yeah, that was when Sarge used to be a mercenary, using an AK-47 to get a good deal at the grocery store.

Yes ! But think about size bettewen her and you ! She's really high for you !  ;D ;D ;D  :-*
(http://blogsimages.skynet.be/images_v2/002/510/702/20080819/dyn005_original_607_1279_pjpeg_2510702_299802f17c6b6d8e7ab88d7942a5c067.jpg)

Actually, no.  The name was "given" to me by Doug Haydon.  It revolved around The Phil Silvers Show (on TV in the '60's) and a character named Sergeant Bilko (a fast talking wheeler-dealer con artist type of guy...go figure!  ::) ).



Yeah, get outta the way, Shorty!! ;D

                                                        Still does.

Not when you're lying down...  ;)

She'll be in safe hands – trust me. ;D

KS: She'll be in safe hands – trust me.

Sarge, Keiths right again your red car would be safe in my garage right next to Arnies and the Chop..... In fact i dont really have a pure red car... PM Sent.

Wow, Sarge thanks for the reply that was quick, didnt know you had considered selling it or i would have spoke before.... I know what you mean about your age, finding it hard to keep her in tip top condition, it must be hard.

So deal done, thanks, PM me your bank details and Ill transfer all the funds in one go, cheers  ;D

Ps LoiusB great idea !!!!

Russel !!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Time to wake up, you dreaming !!  :D :D

Too much haggis - does it every time... :o

Keith, I think your avitar needs to use the restroom.

I remember seeing reruns of that on UK tv when i was a kid, didn't the guy have thick rimmed glasses and hardly any hair?

I wouldn't see your car to that Russell fella! He lets all his mates drive and break his cars  ;)

I locked in the eBay copy a few minutes ago..., how much are you asking for yours?? ::) ;D

So, do I understand it that Russell just bought Sarge's car?

He's also got the inside line on an unfinished orange 67 project which has been siting around near San Diego for more years than the owner cares to remember. ;)

At this rate, Russel will have more DKP cars than DKP members.  ;D You guys are going to have to let him and Keith form a UK chapter.

--louis

Er, it's a joke, Louis...  :D

PS – I'm already a member...

Keith, I heard there's an Arctic Blue 67 for sale...You know anything about it?

 ;D

You're bad, John. Don't ever change.

No kidding? And here I was thinking Sarge had sold out.  ;)


(http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/1/15/CaptainobviousChooseOption.jpg)

--louis

PS: A member of hair club for men?

Captain Obvious to the rescue!  ;D ;D ;D

A joke did you say !

mmmmmmmh, well lets wait and see  ;)

Hey, where the hell's my money??  You promised me I'd have it this morning!!  I knew I shouldn't have listened to Louis....sheeeeeeesh >:(

Don't look at me, I am still waiting on my finders fee.  ;D

--louis

Is it done yet? >:( Jimmy Ratto's wearing on me. ;D

Yeah, what's the hold-up??  The cover got printed really quick; now, what about the pages??? :( :'( ;)

Ratto's not "wearing" on your leg, is he??  BAD DOG....gittoffathere!!! :o ;D

Keith can only get the pages done as fast as he can for the books. He's typing each one individually.

Must be a Mac issue.  ;)

--louis

Mac's have no issues. It's a matter of how fast Keith can move his fingers, and tape the millions of photos to all those pages of all those books. You'd think the publisher would , at least, send somebody over to help the poor guy!

Woulda had them all done by now but keep running outta Sellotape. Nearly forgot to do a left-hand drive version for you Yanks, too! Sheesh, so much to think about. And thinking' real hard at my age. Heaven knows how someone like Sarge copes… ???

Keith, does the right hand version have the cover on the back?

No - I reversed normal thinking. I made the US version read from back to front, left to right, as when you guys drive, you never have anything to do with your right hand, seeing as you all drive automatics. I figured it's probably easier to turn the pages backwards with your right hand, right? This way, you can read it while you drive without having to worry about spilling your coffee or missing a call on your cell phone (both held in the left hand, along with the steering wheel). See, I've thought of everything.

Oh, and John, thanks for putting that Louis guy straight about Macs. I mean, does anyone still use a PC?

No need to own a PC as all new Macs will,as well, run PC software in addition to all the non virus Mac stuff. Oh, also, steering is usually done via the elbow while drinking coffee and talking on the cell phone, and smoking the cigarettes, and fooling with the radio, and shaving, and or doing makeup.

OK guys i knew it would take photographic proof so here it is.....

Me in my dream CAR, yes the Red one ex. Sarge. ;D

 ;D ;D ;D, ;D ;D ;D, ;D ;D ;D, ;D ;D ;D, ;D ;D ;D

Russ smelling a deal on a `dub is like a dog after a bone..it was only a matter of time before Sarge folded & handed over the keys ;) ;D ;D

That's McSarge, if you don't mind...

Please tell me you didn't lick the steering wheel while you were in there ::) ;D ;)

Looks like he's about to hot box your car Sarge.  ;D

                                                 Sarge, you never told me you were from Scotland.

I steer with my knees mostly.  And the right hand is occupied, at least every 15 minutes or so!   :D

Sarge

NO Im not like Fabs, i only lick cats !

Miaou miaou !! Lick me I'm your cat !  ;D ;D

 :-X

 :D

It's a SICK bunch we have around here  :o ;D ;)

;D ;D ;D

::) ::) ::).................................. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Nice bag.

I feel a draft ::) ;D  Hey Fabs, Russell has rented your room at my place for the next ten years or so.  I'm afraid you'll have to move on :-* ;D

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo............ :'( :'( :'( :'( don't do that bro  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Jealous?????

Ah you propose me a room to you for the next year  ;D ;D ;D
thx john i appreciate   ;D ;D

Hey, it's NOVEMBER....where's our books ??? ;D

all that I know is that the book should be printed by 18th of November
and ready for distribution by 21st of November
that is what publisher told me, CSP just ordered some copies
Keith can this be true ?

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

As found in my Holiday 2008 Motorbooks catalog.

motorbooks.com

will they be avalable on sunday?

Just to put matters as straight as I can make them, to the best of my knowledge, the books are printed and currently on a ship somewhere between China (where they were printed) and the UK/USA. The ETA is/was early-mid November and that's all I can say. Please realise that I actually don't have anything to do with printing, marketing, distribution etc of the books – I'm just the author... The copy I have seen was a review copy sent by airmail to the publisher. There is no chance of them being on sale at Slough swapmeet, although Gwynn at VW Collectibles may have my review copy to check out. I won't personally be there.

Hope that helps set the record straight!

Cheers! :)

so is Bates' motor going to be done first?  ::)








 ;D

I think,this book is already a bestseller,so what's next Keith....................a movie?  ;D  ;D  ;)

That's MASTER Bates to you...

is it done yet?is it done yet?is it done yet?is it done yet?is it done yet?don't you mean Master Bater........

Hey Henry, behave!  :D

wrong guess again????

is it you Rick Z?  :o

Looks like it's time for DKP name tags, Jim.  How embarassing :-[ ::) ;D

Nah, I knew it was you Bill..... er, CeDoR! ;D

THE SHIP MUST OF DOCKED IN FRANCE. I'VE HEARD THAT THEY ARE THERE ALREADY...
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lIyw3-f4sNE/SRAH4cWsLUI/AAAAAAAAD_U/mta2ttxsg60/s320/IMG_3927.jpg)

Do you think that is it possible to buy some copies directly to the Indonesian or Panamean crew members in Le Havre ?
 ;D ;D ;D

That's just an advanced review copy sent out from the publishers - there were ten copies air-mailed over from the printers ahead of the main shipment and that is one of them...

As they say: The Best Things Come To those Who Wait  ;) :)

cant wait

There's a least one book now in California! Got my copy today. So, it does exist.... and none of this PhotoShop junk either. Awesome, totally Awesome.

How about some specifics? Can you break it down in a short review Dean?

Actually, just scan the whole thing and post it.  Keith won't care...   >:( :-X

I will, on Keiths behalf  ;D

Okay, here is a quickie... 144 pages, a lot more color than book #1, all new photos! More about the guys and clubs, with more personal photos of working on their cars, and club house pics. Haven't had a chance to read much, but all good. Some of these old photos will blow you away... many I've never seen before! Killer all the way.

Thanks Deano! Actually, here and now, I will admit to there being ONE publishing error in the book: for some reason, the printers chopped two lines off the end of one of the chapters! God bless them... Doesn't affect anything other than you'll wonder why it finished mid-sentence! Nothing to do with me – seems you can't get the staff these days!  ::)

But thanks again, Deano. Hearing that from you makes all the months of work worth it.  :)

I can't believe you said that ;D ;D ;D.....  ok, actually I can ::) ;)

Why you... >:( >:( >:( >:(  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks Dean! I'm really excited and anticipating great things. Version 1 is still a fave of mine in my stack of old faithfuls.
Sounds good Keith, see you in a few weeks (with your heads).

So finally, Jim, you've come out of the closet by offering to give me head(s)? ;D

I'm going to preorder on Amazon.com so I don't have to worry about forgetting about it. ;D  Exactly the kind of book I enjoy having around to read over and over and over and... well, you get the idea.

Keith, just for us - post the missing words here! Maybe Trond could put them in the news box at the top of the page?! :D

I just preordered mine from Amazon.com.  Good deal!  It was $23.97 including freight to California.  I can't wait to see it.

Worm

 :P :P :P :P

Today i was reading this book.

 :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Had a flick through that same copy today and ordered 2 copies, one for meself and another for a good friend. All I have to do now is wait patiently for the postman to deliver it.....

Nice dedication in the front of the book Keith!
I can't wait for my copy to arrive, the best Christmas present ever!

Looks very cool so far! Thanks for the tease shots

Jim

I just ordered mine. ;D :P :P

the cover they present on amazon is different, that's correct?  Not that I'm ordering something wrong here...  ???

i decided not to look at that copy at Slough.......too much of a tease.

have pre-ordered though, so i'm waiting till that arrives......sounds like its gonna be a fantastic piece.

Yes, that was a 'working cover' that had to be sent out to the book trade very early on to get it listed in catalogues. There is no book with that cover, so don't worry!

I ordered mine last week! ;D I cant wait.Delivery is 4 days before my birthday.So I will have an early present .8)

How bout posting the missing words Keith. Or better yet how about I send you my copy and you write it in. ;)

Just got of phone with publishers and the books are in the UK (not sure about US...) , cleared customs and are on their way to the warehouse. Should be available very soon! At bl**dy last! :D

I'll be checking with local Borders every day now...

Ordered mine at the UltraVW webshop, so hopefully I will be the first to have one in Austria.

I ordered mine from Motorbooks.com.  Amazon still lists the release date as Jan. 2009, so I ordered from the other site.  Me want booky. ;D

Ordered mine today @ the local bookstore,I hope that I don't have to wait that long.  ???

Gwynn from vwcollectibles will keep a copy for me she mailed me with a personnal message ;D
Will be a nice x-mas present ;D

 ;D :) 8)
Martin.

CSP ones are being shipped from the UK to Germany
will keep you posted
looking forward to the book

Gunter

Just got an invoice in the mail from Motorbooks.com today, says it's not available yet (I havne't been billed for it yet, either).  Can't wait to have it in my grubby little paws...

Books are now in the UK at the publishers, ready to go. Getting a box of them UPS'd out to SoCal for my party on Saturday... Yeehah! ;D

 :o  Local brothels ???   ::)

Don't forget your red cup and party hat ;D

Wow, they even invite Canadians...

Keith,does this belong to you? :D

Just paid mine to Gwynn so you'd better write something nice on the cover Keith ;-)

So does anyone actually have a copy yet  ??? :)

Yeah,  ;D me!

hey Keith any news on when CHP are shipping theirs to new subscribers to Ultra VW ;)

How about hooking a brother up  ??? ;) :)

I'll be signing them next week when I get back and they will then be sent up to CHP, so I guess about 10-12 days... :)

(http://i36.tinypic.com/10pvbpj.jpg)

looks good so far  :D

Looks good Ripper - are you the first person to have a copy?

could be ? no idea...that wasn't my intention. i phoned the publishers yesterday to find out when it was available..they said right now. arrived this morning ;)

Well thats its after 3 hours of speed reading I can say ive read it and Boy is it worth the wait, some superb storys and amazing photos a must have for any real cal look fan / vw racer without a doubt. Like life you always can learn more and again im not disappointed, Keith you've captured the vibe perfectly and surely this will strengthen our scene again. Very Well Done.

To KS and all the people past and present who have been part of the VW community and the Cal Look / Drag Racing Scene, thank you all for giving me probaly the best hobby in the world.

To quote the DKP tee-shirts and Master Card adverts.

Got mine from my friend and club mate Helge yesterday (good to have someone working for CSP  8)). So cooool. Just don't know, what to do:. Reading it page to page and not flicking through the pages. Or checking all the pictures first and then start reading. Or reading some captions and then start reading the book... just don't know it. :D

 ::) Start reading it now !

Georg! You're still alive! I was starting to wonder... Not heard from you for soooo long, I was wondering if I was wearing the wrong underarm deodorant.  ;D

Try (!) to call you next week, "deadline" is the word for this week!
Take care,

Georg

First minutes together with our books! Let the captions begin  ;) ;D

Bottom of page 61 – that's your new car, right? 8)

ha ha ha ha ha ha  ;) Don't you mean page 62 ??? ;) :)

What? You colour blind all of a sudden? That car's RED! Hmmm, maybe you really are colour blind – in which case you can't tell the difference between green and red. If so, that accounts for you saying you want to paint your car green, when you really mean RED! Way to go, baby! You are da man! ;D

have the feeby subscription copies been posted yet?

andy

As far as i know, they received them in the office this week, so should be with you any time now. I tnk they got there on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Cheers Keith 8)

Any updates on when they will be available stateside in the U.S.?  I tried to get a copy through Ron at FAT but by the time I got a check in the mail (my fault, I snoozed, I lost) they're copies were all gone.

http://www.motorbooks.com/Store/ProductDetails_40743.ncm (same book wrong cover in picture)

or

gwynn@vwcollectibles.com in the UK and just pay some a bit of shipping.

Yeah, I cancelled my motorbooks order because it was on backorder for so long... I was hopeful that the U.s. would have copies before the projected Amazon.com date of Jan. 1, but it looks like I'll just have to be patient.

Did anyone order the new book from motorbooks and receive it already? I ordered mine a month ago and it has not arrived yet? This sucks. I should have got it from vw collectables.

EDIT: I just called motorbooks and they said they will have the books mid to late January. Lame!

Last I heard it's still on backorder there.  Amazon.com gives a release date of Jan. 1 2009...

I got mine today for X-mas ! ;D I ordered it on amazon in the end of november and I received it last week.

Santa brings me THE Book. Very nice book and cool stories. Good job Keith  :)

Once again, supernice book Keith !
I remember 13 years ago, when I took in hands the California look book one I just buy from you with Kobus, my english was realy poor at this time. More as today, yes it's true  ;D ! The Cal-look book was the firts english speaking book I read to the end and I really did it several times ! Cal-book in one hand and my english/french dictionary in the other hand  :P
And I knew it's true for a lot of non english speaking "Cal-look" anthousiasts they did the samr way ! I am sure of it, the first book change a lot of lifes. I hope, and I wish, the secopnd opus is going to make the same travel all over the world !

Thanks for all that great work and to share your passion whith every one of Us !
I can't wait for my personal dedication... at VoWoShow perhaps ???

Mike, I'm glad you enjoyed the book! I'm going to try to get up t the VoWo show (if I'm allowed in  ;D ), or I'll see you at a certain 'little' show in Belgium! Have a great New Year!
Keith

My impatience knows no bounds... I ordered the book through UK's Amazon.com, should be here by Jan. 13 or 19.  If the stateside amazon gets it sooner I will cancel my order and switch back, but I'm hungry for this book.  Lol.  ;D
