Great idea...

Here is "Rocket Racing" with his wonderfully patinated US-spec '57. Tanning.....or.....thinking of a stroker engine?

Nice! I've got a soft spot for white lettered rear tires...

Dickson`s car is one of my all time favourites! Almost to bad he is cutting in the steel to make it even faster.
Here is some picks of his car.

I know, I know - not a Looker, but a BigGun. Just a sweet picture of ...... the awesome grip at the SCC-track.

Dickson again... cheezzzzy door panels  8)

Just can`t get enough of this car..

 :P

Porn....

Bare with me...

10`s baby!!!

being a 10 sec car, those doorpanels shall be forgiven...  :)

It's an awesome car, but that interior makes me puke  :-\ Sorry bout that!

The interior is not in the car anymore. Removing it was part of the 200 pound diet to make it competitive in the super comp class.

Hi all! My first post...

This pic shows two of my favorite Gassers  ;D

Hi Ole,

two things:

a) The Brasilia looks cool

b) Does anything happend to Tar Babe since the last two years or so?

...and it's fast. They say "Mejor tiempo al ¼ de milla 11.70 @180km/h, Motor Turbo , pista Tlane a 2300 mts. s/nm, 100% Metal"

yes, it collected a lot of dust...

I agree that interior is a NO NO ;) - But I do like the Gassers 8)

Here's another cool pic, it's also the flyer of the annual DVF bugtour

Hi an welcome to the lounge!

I like your gold turbo car, can you tell us a bit more about it?

Thanks,

BeetleBug

 :o this ghia is cool with's og empi 5 , big engine , chop top on ghia is rare but is nice on this model , may be i change the Rear-view mirrors but check they are in the style of the car that is cal look of the 80's  8)

These were taken 2004 in Bitburg. The first one shows Gero Canters car. On the second and the third that's Jürgen/DFL's looker directly after he blew his engine while racing against Gero. Right from the start the engine made some really really bad noises… In the background that's Adde's Sauerkaraut Racer -also a truely great car!

 :o now this hebmuller reside in belgium but he lost his 356 brake drums & sprintstars and i don't know if he has the okrasa engine  ???

Hi Fabian,

that's interesting news! It's the South African Heb that belonged to an english guy, right? At least it got the right wheels ...  ;D
Do you know who is owning it now?
Cheers,

Georg

 ???  I just know that the owner of the car is amateur of coachbuilt and I believe that he possesses another heb but I am not on sure, can be ask kobus??
there is 6 or 7 type 34 today at the meeting

  Here some pics of ALL (yes all!!) Dutch Cal-Lookers...

 JeePee's looker:
 (http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/24072005214144.jpg)

 Dokke's looker:
 (http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/24072005231000.jpg)

 Don't know whose looker this is. Has a Dutch dealer license plate. Apparently a Cal-Look freak. Nice stance... Don't like the two-tone paintjob though... :(
 (http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/24072005194434.jpg)



 Yes that makes 3 and as far as I know that's the entire Dutch Cal Look scene... :-\

 

what about this guy?! Isn't he dutch too?!
(http://olaf.nhz.de/albums/DFL-MaiCruiseMadness-2005/DSCN1871.sized.jpg)

 Oh yeah.. forgot about that one... That's a very nice car!!
 It belongs to a girl btw... ;) And yes she's Dutch too...

 

seems like them girls got the cleaner cars! 8)
(http://blogsimages.skynet.be/images/003/091/676_e3bb175e02864ef044baeb5769c4c0fb.jpg)

The two-tone bug is from Franky's Vw service, as far as I know.

A friend of mine has a good looking Late looker with Flat Lip Riviera's, so that make's four... Not so many indeed :-[

A think the first  green car is from Holland ???,67model. :o

You mean this one? Thats a '67 indeed
(http://olaf.nhz.de/albums/DFL-MaiCruiseMadness-2005/DSCN1871.sized.jpg)

Find one more Dutch Cal-looker :)
(http://www.airmighty.com/images/gallery/acn_2nd_01-06-2004/images/IMG_0250_jpg.jpg)

Hi my PC has been in the shop being fixed but if you want to know about the gold 65 it in april,s ULTRA VW. But as i said there is a new motor going in it also new wheels and body mods. :)

 I think that car is already a bit "over-pimped" for a Cal-looker...

 Less is more... (not when it comes to HP though...)

 

You've got a little bit right, the mirrors belongs to a resto looker, but the wheel stance, engine etc are Ok ::)
Here a another picture from Das Drag Day last year
(http://www.volksaddiction.nl/bitburg2005/DSCF1820.JPG)

To Daslooker,What year you think that green Car is?
65?? or66 mye be.Is not older a 65.

 Oh yeah.. that one.. but that one still hasn't gone nose-down, has two yellow fenders, the Fat Lips are still on it's way, he hasn't got the right tires yet and hasn't got that nice muffler fitted... :-\
 And the owner of that car is an ass btw... Don't like that guy... ;D

if the front turn signals are right that`s a 60 to late 63 -but personally i think it's a 63.

no for me is an 66  watch the handle door same has a 67 model but he put an oval decklid on his car, watch also the front deflector are ->64 models and the ragtop was to graft  ::) and she had small amounts

I guess that's the reason why Dokke belongs to a german Cal Look Club... ;D
Can't wait to see your car when it's done! I really like Late Looker and hope to see more of them in the future.
Cheers,

Georg

aw yes -think you're right… it's a pretty mixed up car -but, well -looks allright to me :)

 ;)

Quality-wise the green Looker is really good, but as you said, it's mixed up. It has big side windows so it must be a '65-'67. But it's not a '67, because then the owner would have left the decklid on it's place – as a Cal Look fan your are proud to have a '67. So it must be a '65 or '66. All cars from may '66 onwards had the new doorhandles so I would guess it's a late '66 modelyear car.  ;D

It could have been a "1200 A" though. That was the cheap standard version. It was possible to order a cheap 1200 A with a sunroof. But when one ordered a sunroof on a 1200 A they didn't get a steel sunroof, but the old fabric sunroof. They did also mount W-decklids and more early parts on that series...
But I believe they changed it because they liked it this way, and not because it was a 1200 A...

Hi Jordy,

partley true. The 1200 A (build from January '67 up to Juli '67) could be ordered with a fabric sunroof but had chrome trim, '67 only decklid, standard interieur, etc. Her is a perfect, unrestored example:

http://www.netbugs.de/?/nbdispbug.php?sprache=d&snr=1632&lfdnr=1

You can read the whole story on it in the next issue of the german magazine Käfer Revue.
Cheers,

Georg

jordy what did you said by 1200 A =standard model  ??? i know that the ragtop still exist on the 65 standard model and 67 standard model ... this week end i saw a 67 standard with original ragtop but the car is a callook now .  I recognized the standard model  to his handles of door

 Then I guess I'm not informed correctly. Thanks for the link!
 I'll ask her about the car when I see her next time. Maybe she'll go to Hannover.
 I believe they're regular visitors to the Maikäfer-show, so I guess they're gonna go this time as well...
 
 

This is ture i had a standard model 67 with a ragtop about 5 year ago and i sold it why did i do that i want it back now. >:(

@Jordy: The picture posted here was taken at our DFL May Cruise Madness the evening before the 1st of May Show in Hannover. Are you coming this year?

@Martin: A '67 ragtop is as rare as hen's teeth – I never saw one for real. The 1200 A was build just for seven month and because it was a standard, only very few people ordered a ragtop. At that time it was 250 Deutsch Marks extra, that's around 80 GBP. The whole car cost 4485 DM (1495 GBP).
Shame you sold it...

 I'd love to, but it's a 400km drive and my car really is an embarrasment. :( It's red with two yellow front fenders, a rusty front bumper, still has a 1300 engine, I haven't been able to locate the right tires, it hasn't gone nose-down yet and I'm expecting my wheels to arrive only one week before the DFL cruisenight & Hannover treffen...
 Oh and I got to get my bug through TüV, cause it hasn't passed... ;D
 

that red 67er from kurt reall kicks ass -- thatz a price winner!

 Well... I have plans to found a Dutch Cal-Look club...
 I have already found a party-tent for our display on events...
 








  Didn't want to be too ambitious though...  ;D

Jordy, that looks like a nice club booth! Very old school.... ;D

Just got the April number of Ultra VW!  Great Photos and car!!

this's a very cool car ,my friend el dub is the owner  he bought a real empi gtv one day i'll go to his house to watch the car  and take a lot of pict   8)

 historical car  8) el dub said to me it was the oldest gtv known to date :o

 ;)

I first saw the car 2000 in the US when Chris Morley found it. It's a cool piece of history but very hard to decide what to do with it. If Laurent restores it back to it's former glory it could be any car given the GTV look, keeping it the way it is might be difficult in rainy Europe....

laurent said to me he can't restore the car ,He'is just going to redo brakes and engine and to run with such as she

Thank you the gold bug will not be at the volksworld show (NOT GOOD) oh well im in the white 67. Hope to see you all the 1s that are coming over and hope you are all coming to the saturday night meal.

kurt's cal look show winner  :o

what really tickles me 'bout that shot is "what's lurking right behind that roofchop on bicycle wheels"?

I see it  ;D maybe they are gonna take it for a spin around the block  ;D

muahaha, well that's what i'd call dangerous, veeery dangerous, but still, plain beautiful!

let's get this picture thread goin again -i just saw this one through turtles blog on http://blog.livedoor.jp/flat4_vw/archives/50850117.html -now that's what i call an awesome lookin car!  :o

F"*CKIN SICK  ;D ;D ;D

Hi Guys I Am Looking For A Dash Grill Like The One Pictured in This Section Does anyone know anything about them I Need Both Grills for a Left Hand Drive Look at the Pictures let me Know If You Know Where I Can Get Them Thanks Shubee Light Blue car is a Right hand Drive I Want The same Grill's but for a Left Hand Drive Any Info?

Hi Shubee,
just have a look at the following site:

http://www.kaefervwrostfrei.de/

Just click on "Instrumentengitter ab Bj. 57".
Bye,

Tobi

that 2nd dash is the nicest i've ever seen!  :o
must be cos it's java green as well...  ;D

you wouldn't happen to have any pics of the rest of the car would you?

where can i get those vdo gauges with chrome rings?

Hi TOBI  I am not Good At German lol At least Speaking it anyway Dose anyone know what it would cost me and How I Can Order From Them I Am In The USA

Hi Shubee,
that should be no problem as most germans speek at least a litttle english, so just send him an eMail to info@kaefervwrostfrei.de and describe what you wish to get. The small grille with one 52mm openin costs 30 Euros. If you want the bigger grille to look like the one on the javagreen dash (which btw belongs to my club mate Andi´s car) you have posted a pic of then it would be custom made for you as it says in the text. For comparism: a bigger grill with one 80mm hole costs 35 Euros so I think that 2 holes with 52mm diameter won´t be that much more expensive.
If he doesn´t want to send the parts to the US just let me know and we will find another solution! ;)
Bye,
Tobi

P.S.: For more information about Andi´s car check our homepage regularly. Rumors are that there´s going to be an update about our member´s cars this very day! ;D
htttp://www.dflvwclub.de
An english version is planned as well but will take some time yet. To find our cars just click on "Unsere Autos".

Video Kurre on his way to SCC.This bus rules!!!

That bus is one of the coolest cars rolling on this planet! I laugh every time I see it.. A driveable car doesn't get more "cartoonish" than that..

I think the fueling was a bit on the fat side but hey you can run it fat all day long but lean only once.
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b115/gold65turbo/bb1.jpg)

SICK  ;D ;D ;D Maybe running a bit on the "Rich" side though  :P :D

Yes, i am here... Unfortuanly i haven`t any photos of the two beauties. I know there are many people that make an picture, could you give me a copy, please??

Thank you,
Dirk / DFL

Great picture! Witch kind of turbo-kit is this? I am planing an mild one for my königs-red 67`. I was yust looking for the kits from low-bugged.com, they are looking complete.
My engine is an 1679cc with an engle TCS-10 cam.....

The kit on my car was made up of second hand parts AJ,s kit at low-bugged works well. But if you want something a bit more of a show and go try Carcraft in Riverside So Cal. www.carcraftinc.com. Also you could talk to Pat at Pat,s Vw in Belgium www.pat.be they put a turbo kit together this year on a 1776cc if i remember right.

Hallo Dirk,
I only have this one.
If you want it bigger,I will mail it to you.
Grtz:Jan-Peter.(JeePee.)

Martijn (Type 1) was kind enough to de-chrome my 67 using photoshop.

What do you think? Of course i'd have to swap the bumpers for t bars too...

Could this be the "Java Green Bitch"?  ;)

p.s. i should mention i now have center caps and that the front fenders will change to US spec after having had the idea for 18 months now...and a talbot 333 mirror is waiting to be installed  :)

mmh, doesn't seem a good idea to dechome i guess  :P ;)

Why not? your on a cal-look forum, de-chrome the bitch ;) :P

If you want lowering+different rim's/tyres, lemme know..

mmh, i still need to raise the rear end a bit  ::)
do you provide these services in real life as well?  ;)

Those 13" Deano wheels are hanging in my garage right now.  Donny's car truly inspired me when I was 12 years old!   :)

Dean Lowery's old super beetle pro stock w/ 3000cc ARPM motor.

Lightening bug dragster.

Jeff Denham's real street sleeper, 3066cc type 1 (92 x 103)

That's Johnny Salgado's old 67 but looks identical to my other 67.

Thanks, never seen that car before.  Very sexy.

Very sexy indeed, was part off DKP 3 and was featured in a Volksworld in the late 90ies... whas wearing centerlines back then...

And with 217bhp :o its pretty dam quick too  8)

Is this car still about ?

Also what was the paint code for that green and is there any photos of the inside of the car.

I had a vision ;D

there's one missing! ;D

Couldn't get the flamed ghia in there, so we moved house!!! :)

Where's the princess?

She had her own garage at the old place, got her own one at the new place as well!! :)

hey i love that picture too!!! it looks so nice with that color. i even like the yellow car too. it just seems to be two nice cars to me.

and thanks for posting the pictures on the other callook dave  ;)

Man, that picture from VW Trends brings back memories.  That is the awesome 1970 Ghia of Joe Hullet.  The car ran a 78x90 engine (NPR 90 pistons - NOT Cima 90.5's).  He ran NOS as well and shot the car into the high 11's.  Back in the 80's that was smoking fast! :o  I loved that car!  The license plate read "DO YA 12".   ;)

Man, I sure like the look of the old school merged with dual quiet packs.... 8)  Very nice car.

I believe that the plate was supposed to be DO YA 1 2 (Do You Want To)

nice link, cool pics 8)

Hey Rick heres a plate that not confusing, I just can't keep'em on my car. (2 have been stolen so far)

 :o :o :o :o :o

I'll have to check those out!

Now where do you live? And where's my screwdriver?  ::) ::) ::)


 ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well Here is My Plate I Ran On My Zenith Blue Empi 67 with BRM's then Later put them on my 69 SquareBack. I Ran EMPI 8 Spokes and 4 Wheel Disc Brakes on the Squareback  I Think the Last Tag on the Plate was 1981 If you look in the Empi Catalogs they showed a Few Bugs  that econo motors owned that had the Calif Plates One had  EMPI and the Other said  EMPI GTV well I Said to myself I wonder if EMPI USA is Taken??  Well I Went To DMV and it Was not So  I Got Them and Now there just Hanging in my Garage.. they look good With the EMPI USA Frames on them.  EAT YOUR HEART OUT GUYS  LOL  !!!

That's funny because I have the California plates you are talking about. They are registered to me! It's not nice to lie.

then why are they on my car and now hanging in my garage?? lets see your Plates  mine are 70's issue steel Blue and yellow plates

(http://blogsimages.skynet.be/images_v2/000/049/279/20070310/dyn008_original_676_507_pjpeg_49279_3d810a03b9b1c1ec217646529e2a855e.jpg)

Car is Really Cool!!! But That Decklid is Ugly... :'(

Sorry 'bout That...Just my 2Cents...

Frank

Charlie, what are your plans?  Are you going to eyebrow them like the old Empi lid?

This is not my car.

That Cross of St George decal in the side window makes it look like it's being driven by an England football supporter! Hmmm, maybe it is? ;D

Nice pic, though.  :)

Here are my cool pics selection. The SSB pics are from me. And I really like them not because I took them but more because of the car, the guy inside and its race results... really impressed! Other pics on http://web.mac.com/gra.art

The Muppet Racers pics are from Rool ( http://mudwagon.skynetblogs.be/ )and I find them really awsome!

This one is from Mike Walravens I think. I seems that drag race cars are also great on slalom...  ;)

NICE PIC,AMAZING BUG ;)

Love this picture off Kurt's '67... it's taken at last years Bugtour (www.bugtour.be)
Lot's off cal-lookers used the way they should!!

I love this late looker type 3

it was for sale for a long time.
don't know if it has been sold.

but the owner takes really cool photos!!

this one is taken in my hometown (up until 2 years ago), Rotterdam in front of the Erasmus Bridge.

sorry it's a bit big but it is cool IMHO

looks like he spent some hours polishing it up ;)

Dayum. Looks like that thing was dipped.

He I live there, you can see the houses under the rightside of his rear bumper.

Cool pic of me in the ex Jack Sacchette's autocraft pro stocker launching at the curacao drags

I like late model Type 3 cars... especially Notchbacks. Extra points for being orange, too.

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/YAVE123/P1030839.jpg)

An amazingly rare shot of my car moving under it own steam (in between breakages)!

(http://www.volkstorque.co.uk/vt/imagehosting/942483d0db54b2e7.jpg)

Although there's no car in the picture (! - too quick & fast) I like this shot! Reading "Ultra VW" this month I was reminded that prior to Flame & Thunder last year no one* in the UK had run two 9's at the same meeting. For some of us it was an awesome finish to the season. Another year even half as good as that would be fantastic.

 8)

(http://www.offdrc.co.uk/images/gallery_2007_011/photo_2007_011_101.jpg)

*In a real Volkswagen!

And looking at it again now the sponsor on the lights is "Auto Glym", one of SCC's headline sponsors - kinda' appropriate! A good place to see a 9 second field, a European first no less...

 8)

Now that is a cool picture Mat!

I like this picture of my buddy John's 63 ragtop cos it remiinds me of good times at the pod! My bros Kraftwerk Work T25 and my old and sold 64 bug are off in the background...

(http://www.volkstorque.co.uk/vt/imagehosting/942483d143fdb753.jpg)

Nice club pic Kafer! 8)

I like these pics of mine,the first is 'back in the days' sort of pic,taken late 90's .The second one is from this year.

Great pic mate  :)

Don't know if this has been posted before. Found it over on the HAMB. 2 photographers fighting over a shoot.

Can't make out what bug it might be. Any ideas?....

(http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j38/royalshifter/Drag%20cars/fight.jpg)

Does a (largely) steel bodied, rear-engined, Type 1 cased, Type 1 headed, Type 1 tranmissioned car count? If so, go back to 1994... ;)

(It's OK, I get your point…  ;))

Looks like the Deano Dyno Soar to me Fonz!  ;)

I was gonna say that  :)

Nice one. Yep, I can see it now.  ::)  8)

I think it probably would! Fair comment.  8)

...Just as long as you're not saying it's a street car!  :P  :o


 ;D

that is why i keep my nikon F3. you can hammer nails in a wall with that thing and still will take pics, no problem.

That is a riot!! I wonder what Dean would have said about that :)

Hey that hurts, let go of me!  I'm Dean Kirsten from Hot Vw's, dammit!

finally we got all cars & members together. taken May, 1st, Hannover. Fun day!

@Diederick: The gallery of our cars on the DFL site will be updated very soon with fresh pictures, also from Dirks bug. Until then, enjoy some Java Green :-)

Have fun,

Thanks.

Can´t wait...  ;D

See??? You ARE number 1 in their book!  ;D ;D

Some old dusty cal looker I found in a barn...

(http://www.volkstorque.co.uk/vt/imagehosting/94248561510a85f7.jpg)

So, what's the story? Cool pic!

Looks like someone is sanding bondo without windows in the car...  Looks very correct!

BONDO?!! :D Bare metalling at the moment and there are about 8 layers of paint on the damn thing....

Dude, take it over to Dudley and get it dipped! Surface Processing Ltd ;)

Ops... my bad ;D

Thanks for the tip Neil, any idea how much a dip runs to? Sounds like it would save me muchos arm ache!

JHU :D haha... like I'm not gonna find any! Its a UK RHD 54 Bug - theres bound to be some on it somewhere, I'm just yet to find it!

Cheers Keith, its not unfortunately a barn find... its my bug mid works.

looks pretty authentic though eh?!

Not cheap - it's the place used on the Campervan and Beetle Crisis programmes - think a shell starts around £600, but over triple that for the e-coating. It'll delay the rust by another 40 years though! ;)

Here is a picture my friend Derek took @ Carlsbad 1999.

Lookin good dude  :)

Agreed dude - SICK  :)

Is it for sale?????? ;D I just got full blown WOOD! Georgeous!

I doubt it.

 ;)  I think I have seen that before in a dark underground garage somewhere,but it was on just painted?

cheers richie

If this car is still in Norway, I bet its more for sale than any other car out there... but that car ain't cheap!
But it have to be seen in detail to be believed...

Along the same lines... ;)

Mat, is that from the book with the funny cars, fuel alterds and stuff from the 60's? Sure I've seen it before!

I don't know the source or for that matter any of the details of the photo but I found the image on a Flikr account whilst looking for shots of a 70s Plymouth Funny Car. Thought it was quite a cool shot for a bunch of reasons.

 :)

Looked on Amazon.com - it's a Bob McClurg book called "Diggers, Funnies, Gassers & Altereds". I borrowed it years ago, it's brilliant. :)

Here's a shot by Stephan Szantai taken on the 605 fwy after a Drag Day a few years back changed over to b&w...if you look closely, you can see Steph's bug reflected in the bumper.

looks miles better in black !!! :)

OUCH!! ;)

erm ... erm ... i ... er ... i mean ..... er ...  the monochrome makes the paintwork look ....  erm .... erm ...  you can see just how good the finish is !!!

Thanks mate!!!!  ;D ;D ;D

have you a pictures of the engine i don't remember this one , i saw the car last year at ebi 

    ....thanks Fabs!  Here's another taken along side of Darrell Bomgaars '66 the same day.

 8)

So... you can't drive a car and use a cell/mobile phone at the same time (in California), but you can take photos and drive?

Dean, Stephan, was holding his camera rig ( big money ) outside the car going about 70 mph clicking off photos. He moved down the line of us and got several great shots! Road was a bit slippery too, it had just poured buckets of rain about an hour earlier. I kept waiting for him to hit a bump and watch the camera disappear. Explain that one to the insurance adjuster! That was great fun that day.

Not very cal-look, but I think it´s a cool picture. Shot i Schweiz 2003 on a trip to the mediterranian.

if the law staked out the starbucks drive-in on valencia + east imperial they'd have a busy morning !!!  ::)

maybe the car manufacturers will now delete cupholders ???

cool pic !!!

i had an period mono pic of a farm labourer taking a break in an oval . cant find it !! grrrr

SSSSHHHhhhhhhh....quiet!!! ::) ;D 

Like John said, with the rain and  all, it really was a hell of a day!

(http://vw.zona13.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1341&g2_serialNumber=1)

not very cool photo :-) but here's the engine....
unfortunately this year I miss the BugIn..... :-\

nice one tidi   ;)

Ran across this the other day in a box of old pics.  I figure it was taken around 1969 at Hillcrest Park in Fullerton right after I got out of the Army.  My camera of choice was a Kodac Instamatic :o ::) ;D

The same crusty old photo with a little editing...

Nice one, those wheels are Ansens ?

Thanks Nico!  Yeah, the backs were Ansen Sprints, the fronts were American five spokes all with Chevy adapters.  I pulled the Americans off later on in favor of some narrowed (3 1/2" wide) Porsche steel rims with 125/15 Pirelli's that I painted gold...then the Ansens got painted a few different colors (dark grey followed by gold) before  they were yanked in favor of a pair of Porsche chromies.  Back then, it was a change a week it seemed...mostly done with a spray can ::) ;D

125 's must have been one hell of a thrill ride trying to stop in the rain!

I just showed my wife Kellie this photo of Sarge and she goes GEEZ he was young...... :o ;D

  sorry I couldnt help but share that. 8)

Sarge, front and center.

Yeah, you got that right! ;)


Amazing, isn't it? :o ;D  Still a teenager at heart!

got a story about those.

i bought my 66 fastback and never ever had driven an oldtimer before. so i settle the payment and screwed on my plates and took off. i had to take a small part off the highway and when i was on there it started to rain, real bad. so i get off because there were no wipers on the car. but i couldn't brake. if i pushed the pedal the car would even go faster and dead dtraight, so i brake all i can while i drive under a brigde, otherwise i would have looked at the scenery real close, and drive all the way home in a really slow pace. rightaway i took off the 125 michelins that are used on a 2VC citroën and that is also the reason i don't run the goodlooking 145's but the more wider 165/65/15's. 

yesterday i took my car for a small road trip not so far from my house , and found some cool place to take pictures , i prepare those one and put on the lounge soon  ;D
here we go for one

Nice pic, Fabs 8) 8)... for a moment there, that stuff in the background reminded me of Ratto's mullet  ::) ;D

;D ;D
thx for the kind words bro
 ;)

That's the last straw!

 ;D

 ::) ::) ::)  ;D

Cool pics Sarge  8)

Sharon's not changed much has she  ;D

Thanks for the props, guys...just celebrated 39 years of wedded "bliss" a week ago :o :)

Congrats Sarge.  Finding the right person is everything.  My wife and I really enjoyed spending time with you and your wife at Alan's before Bug-In!  You are the best!

If you wanna sit in Sarge's lap, I'm sure he'll oblige ;D

That would cost a bottle of expensive red Vino and a fat Cuban stogie ;D  Carlos probably wouldn't go for it much either ::) ;)

I just wanted to post this little pic taken last year in Belguim  :)

now , that .

cool .

Yeah i'd love that but right now my car is eating 18 litres of gas every 100km so that's a stop at the station every 180-200km... needs to get properly tuned soon, I'll try to figure that out before scc to be able to join the fun...

I am not getting much more than that dude - I spent approx £200/250euros going to ebi and back - I don't mind stopping at fuel stations as it gives me time to warm up  ;) :)

That was taken last weekend testing for SCC ;) :D   There is a video of it to follow from the company filming the event but you can see it for real in 3 weekends time in norway :D  Come on Roland,one more for the cruise up there??

This past weekend our club Wolfsburg Registry had get-together where by we drove to various people's homes for a progressive dinner.  It was a lot of fun and on the drive between the first and second home my wife took this photo of Rick Mortensen driving his yellow chop top in traffic.

cool one donny   ;)

those 're cool too  ::) ::)

I guess so



 ;D ;D ;D

Nice shoot, the cabrio in the background looks great, got some pics of it ?

yes tomorrow

I recognize the convertible, and the fence next to it......somewhere in Chino California I'd wager. But that's not what color it really is.

Allen who....?

that 2nd picture makes me need new glasses....

That second picture means I'm not drunk enough. >:(  ;D

Thanks  ;D

here 'we go nico

Thanks Fabs ! Very nice indeed.

Sarge,

I see that your window is a model with a "green tint on top"...  Never noticed before.  I searched for it and I only find it in green with extra green tint on top.

Do you run green windows all the way or only the front window of do you have a normal "white window with a green tint on top"  ...

Thx,

Dem

The windshield is an aftermarket tinted / shaded piece.  The rest of the glass is original equipment clear that the car came with when it was new.

good eye dem!
i never noticed that either.

i wonder what that would look like on my green car!!
does it actually serve its purpose well, sarge?

more guys , one from the inisde  and one by the front  ;D ;D ;D

A few of my fav's that I took at EBI 2008. Not a patch on some fo you guys, as I am poo at taking photo's haha

Yeah, it does..., much easier on the eyeballs! 8) 8) 8)

and it looks cool too...  But I realy want a "white window" with a green tint on top and not a green window...  So that it matches the rest of the windows in the car.  I have popouts so I can't switch them to green glass very easy...

Is the green window much different then the original vw windows Sarge?  Can you see the tint difference from a mile away or is it barely visible?

Dem

I don't think it's that noticeable, personally.  When your out looking at glass, take a white business card with you to hold behind the windshields.  You'll be able to judge the amount of tint in the glass much easier.  They're all different.

This was my favorite car yesterday at the sacramento bugorama. Very cool!!

Couple more

yoo Jim ,, Sarge ,,.......if i would own your licens plate.....i would drive a 356 porsche  ;D

great pics.........

cheers TOM 8)

.... sigh, that license plate number is probably as close as I'll ever get to something that says Porsche on it :( :'(

That silver 356 was built by my friend Scott Sebastian in Sanger. He normally builds high dollar sand cars so this was a little unusual for him. He also builds motors and transaxles. He put an entire VW torsion housing under it with a Berg 5 speed and a VW motor. Also did all the roll cage and metal work. Bad ass. Did it really run in the 10`s?

You forgot Oil !!!  8)

thats just stupid and dangerous !!!





















what if it damages any of the parts !!
:D

Berg 5, sweet!! I noticed a smaller diameter pipe that ended right next to the exhaust pipe. I had never seen that before, so I peaked under the car for a better look. Wastegate pipe and hidden turbo system 8) so it is quite possible it ran in the 10's. Any info on the engine?

                                                Now, now, that would put the German's back in France. I don't think we want to start that back up.

Don't have pictures with Eiffel Tower (neither original nor american repro :D) but here's one Luftsick car in front of Louvre ;D (and that roofrack was for luggage)
(http://www.terovirta.com/images/AlhoFiles_08.jpg)

Actually, the 356 has a 3.88 stock geared 4 speed box in it. And I believe a 2276 TBI injected turbo and intercooler. Scott transplanted a whole type 1 torsion housing into it. He was running an 11.04 at only 120 something so he was pedaling it. At Sac it had 4.5 and 8 inch Fuchs with frontrunners and slicks but I think the owner has a set of road race tires and maybe some street tires also. It is in the 356 registery and is officially the worlds quickest 356. But i`m sure its only a matter of time before its in Hot VW`s as he also has a nice black restored oval that was featured awhile back.

Haha you were close from the truth ! ;D Don't know how many sheeps and leopards were killed for this interior ! :D

That vehicle is all of the reason's I hate buses rolled in to one.

Ah come on it ai't that bad - I kinda like it, the Manx would look PERFECT being towed behind it  ;) :)

Nice, for once it's not stupidly low/narrow...

Fuchs are abit shiney though  ;) :)

i could do my hair in em.
still looks pretty cool.

 :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

 :o :o ::)

I don't think nothing gets much better than that car  8)

I don't mind the stance at all... I think convertibles look better lower than their sedan brethren :)

i think what you say applies very well to KGs not convertibles, in my opinion that is. ;)

I think it applies to KG's as well!! ;D

That reminds me of a shot I took earlier this year...

Old warehouse

looking good rasser! looks like you spent some time polishing it too  ;)
are those still vredestein 185s?

negative on the polishing - just added two layers of wax 2 months ago (after final assembly), but the painter did a VERY nice job i think!

No, I am now running 205/70-15 Nankang tires. They look good because they have smooth sidewalls, and not the ususal modern "pattern" - allthough you can´t see in the pictures.
Handles good too! I´m actually surprised on the quality of these tires - I purely bought them because they had the "oldschool" sidewall, but they are pretty good tires actually (not in rain though)

last week end at bitburg AFB

more  ::)

the stance is great!!! narrowed beam? and so yes, how much?

Nice car Rasser ! And nice pics Fabs, as everytime.

Better pic

Thanks ;-)

Yes it´s narrowed 2" and has dropped CB drum brake spindles(+1") (still running shocks and stabilisator bar). I think that running a std. beam would look strange, because then the front tires would be much closer to the fender than the rear tires. I think the front/rear tires have a great distance now (with the narrowed beam)
