Bugs for Breakfast

[Speed-Randy]

I'll try to make it if the wife doesn't have a list of things for me to do.

Just do it man... besides, it's easier to get forgiveness than permission

 

LOL ya but this is the same wife that took 3 vacation days off and went with me to drag my car up to Danny's last weekend so I owe her! 

Didn't you take her sight-seeing at the bunny ranch

[Hecker]

Sat June 5 ...Tom's 4477 La Palma Anaheim ..... sounds good guys, but I have a previous
commitment to the O.S. BMX God in Bellflower, I'll be with you all in spirit !!! Beer , Vodka, etc.
HAVE A GOOD TIME GUYS !!!!! and welcome any newcomers..........

[SO-CAL Speed Shop L.A.]

Sorry for the confusion guys- all the Tom's are GREAT- but Tom himself actually spends the most time at this location and is a really great guy who will appreciate the cars. Also for this weekend I have a special after field trip for those interested to the shop of a well-known bug builder who is picking up a new split window project that we will be the first to see tomorrow. He's in Corona- just to let you know which way we are headed if you are interested. Thanks! Jim

That's why I owe her!

Had to pass on this one, today. I never turn down a chance to skateboard or surf with my sons. My younger son called me early, today, and we all hit our local skatepark. Then, had some Mexican food, & worked on my older son's car. Although his younger brother DID want to take out the '67 Bug.

Hope that y'all had fun, today... if it was a go.

[Hecker]

Sorry I missed but had a great day....sold a whole bunch of stuff I found hiding
in my garage. Better yet I think I got quite a bit of interest in my race frame &
some old BMX wheels, if those sell I up enough to pay for my vacation cruise !!!
Next weekend is the classic so where lies the plan   Nick's on Friday night !!!

[61SNRF]

Sorry you guy's couldn't make it. Me and Jim had a good time talking cars over breakfast. I still think it's a good idea and know others would enjoy it too.
With the hectic schedule coming up this week there is no plans to do it again until maybe July, so keep in it mind and if you have any ideas please let one of us know.

you should have seen the old school BMX stuff / displays / bikes / ETC that they had se out at the Summer Nationals in Roseville (Sacramento) this past weekend.  Some were getting BIG $$$$$ for parts and frames

[Rennsurfer]

After the VW Classic, I'll be able to make these breakfast meets. Looking forward to it.

[tuna]

We will be getting together somewhere between Whittier and Riverside for breakfast & BS-ing (maybe some wrenching) on Saturday mornings so let me know if you might want to join us. Thanks Jim

You guys are doing what I've wanted to do for a long time: a breakfast event. I'm going to be following this thread for the next one, and hopefully by the next one I'll have one of my VWs ready to drive. Is it ok to bring out my EMPI Imp dune buggy? My '69 Cal-Looker is next on the "get running" list, but the Imp will be running soon. The Imp is definitely more Cal-Look than off-roader.

I'm in Fontana, so I'd definitely be interested in one in Riverside or somewhere closer to home.  -- Tuna

[Cheesepanzer]

Neat looking buggy.  Let's see a "money shot" (engine view).   

[61SNRF]

Glad you like the idea Tuna, I'm a morning guy so it suits me too. You're certainly welcome to bring the Imp, even encouraged to!
With the Classic coming up, and me working on the 19th, not sure when the next one is planned. The info will be put up here when a date and location is set. Jim mentioned that Chino Airport has a good diner onsite and often gets a crowd of gearheads on Saturdays, so that may come up as a spot close to you soon. Keep that in mind or let us know if you have a good location to suggest. Note that Hecker is paranoid about theft and has to be able to see his car when he's eating , so picture windows overlooking the parking lot is a plus.

Add me to that list, too. My Bug doesn't go anywhere unless I can see it. Having one stolen once is enough.

I vote for the Chino Airport diner...try the biscuits and gravy (heart stopp'in good ). Besides whats not to like about the superb "Planes of Fame" air museum.

[SO-CAL Speed Shop L.A.]

With the Classic and Father's Day Roadster Show coming up the next 2 weeks I want to make plans for the 26th at the Chino Airport if that sounds good- Let us know and we can work on getting a decent group and I can plan a fun spot to cruise to after for those interested. I have been a part of the Early Times New Years Cruise for the last 30 years and watched it grow from 6 cars to a couple hundred. That's a little too big, but fun to get out and see stuff with other car guys. Thanks Jim

Neat looking buggy.  Let's see a "money shot" (engine view).   

The engine is quite a mess at this time and it's basically a stock 40hp. '62 case 40hp, 019 distributor, Bocar 30PICT1, TriMil 1-3/8" header (with glasspack insert), stale air 40hp fan shroud, and an old CB Perf oil pump with in/out ports. I'll take some photos when I get the engine back in.

[Hecker]

"PARANOID" is a little harsh --- but I'm usually overly concerned !!
Flo's is a nice spot, maybe Sarge will join us & there will be 2 shiny cars.

2 Shiny Cars???  Sarges and What other Car??   LMAO  (did you Forget about Rattle Can Dan)?

[Sarge]

Sharon and I are at Flo's most every Sunday morning.  We get there early though as it gets crowded quick.  Our other place that we like iis The Red Hill Cafe on Foothill at Grove in Rancho Cucamonga.  By far the best that we've run across in the Inland Empire but can be very crowded too... best to be there at 7:00 am on Saturdays(they open at 6:30 on Saturday and 7:30 on Sunday).  In the OC, don't forget about the Original House of Pancakes on Lincoln in Anaheim... THEE BEST!  They open at 6:00.

I enjoy the Red Hill Cafe in Fontana too. Great omelettes! I'd be up for doing a get together at the Rancho one.

Dude... if you're going to the Jagerhaus, you might as well go to The Phoenix Club for the buffet. It's just on the other side of the 57. Ya can't get much more German than that.

Sue and I go there for breakfast when the Angels have a 12:35 Sunday game.

That sounds great, Rick. Never heard of that place... we'll have to add that to a future venue, methinks.

Really? The Phoenix Club is social club for people of German descent. They used to own part of the land that was under the The Honda Center and sold or swapped it for a much larger piece a few miles away.

Come to think of it, they may only do the brunch on Sunday but they have a Restaurant that we could go to.

Yeah, well I'm of German descent and not very social... I I guess that's why, Rick. Perhaps, one day, I shall exit my shell of shyness. But, yeah... let's fire up a trip to the Phoenix Club and ride this crazy torpedo. Because anything worth doing, is worth doing right.

Sounds good!

Does anyone plan on this Sat the 19th?? I know Bruce is working,
but anybody want to plan a spot?? I think I can do breakfast!!

[61SNRF]

Heck,
I can meet before work at Norm's again, 7:00 am okay?

If you guys are planning on this very early and somewhere close to me, I'll gladly join in. Otherwise, I'm having my older son's graduation party starting at noon. Have fun if I don't see y'all.

[SO-CAL Speed Shop L.A.]

Oh, I feel so left out!  Be back with you guys next week, unless I'm in a Home Depot parking lot trying to scrounge up some work as a day laborer!
