What did people get for Christmas?

I got a new orbital sander and a black and decker power file.

I have my 15x4.5 and 15x7 wheels being detaled by Al Reed and will mount them on my chop top soon.  Also, finishing up the assembly of the new IDA topped 2276 motor. Looking to do some road trips in 2009 in the car.

Hey Stephan,

You going to leave it stock or lower it?

I dig Lego's! ;D

~DR.

Yeah, it would look good lowered with Fuchs alloys!

Hey, Nice work Stephan

My dad gave me a book. THE NEW ONE with signing and all ;D. I say thank you Dad, and Keith for a realy god Christmasreading. It was a blast to read about all you people who created this style and lived it.
And knowing, you are still alive and kicking  ;)

So, thank you all Cal-lookers who made the book possible. Happy New Year and PARTY on.

Cheers!

My girlfriend got me a Birth Certifacate for my '67 from Wolfsburg, but they've sent details of a different car!
So if you have a '67 1300, originally Savanna Beige and shipped to Ramsgate with chassis number ending in 130.... I might have your certifacate!

That Lazy Bastard !!!

When can I schedule a haircut?  ;D

My present is a book california look 2 !!!

That's cool! Have you seen some of the large scale lego F1 cars? One of my customers up north had a large scale lego kit of a Brabham/BMW F1 car... working suspension, crank/rods/pistons, limited slip, etc.... man I wish I was a kid again.

I got a new 12" drill press.  8)

You don't have to be a kid to build these cars! In fact, the Lego box mentions the age "16+"
 :)
The Bug is nicely detailed. Doors, hood and decklid open. So does the glove box door! Shifter moves and even the generator/crank pulleys spin!

Does it drop exhaust valves after 60,000 miles?

Doesn't come with a Berg five-speed then...

I got my frames for my 54 (nos), thanks Paul.. ;)

My girlfriend has ordered me a pair of 48 IDA's for my 2165 cc '63 looker...should get them in time for my 50th next week..

best Xmas/b'day present...ever.. ;D

maybe the rear drums strip out too? or the rear seat catches fire?

Come on Guys Do you Really Believe in Santa LMAO  ;D ;D

Gary, how did your trip back to California go? Did you get your fill of rain, and did you haul another car back home?

My girlfriend got me the last piece of my electronics puzzle for the looker.  ;D goes with the hunt mag

I got the Cal Look Book (read it from cover to cover already), Flat Four t-shirt, catalogue and sticker from when my brother was in Japan on business a fortnight before Christmas, and various little VW toys and stuff. I'll buy myself some more stuff in the new year!
