Ed,
Thanks. I was going to say that Kerry sure has changed in appearance since the last time I'd seen him.
Funny how two VW based guys, famous guys at that, have the same name.

Wow,what a weekend!! As some of you know, I almost lost the car on the way down when the trailer decided to go faster than the car towing it. There were a few moments when I really thought my time had come, but I was able to gain control and get the car and trailer to a parking lot where Reverend Bob and I made some adjustments to the tongue weight to keep that from happening again. Unfortunately the car received some serious damage when a hold down strap came loose and allowed the area on the body under the split window jam into a storage box. Then when unloading the car in So Cal,it was discovered that something had come loose in the left rear brake drum, diminishing the braking capacity of the vehicle (brakes suck!). Also the motor wasn't running well.
Despite all the bad luck, the trip was a huge success. The amount of positive response was astounding and greatly appreciated, easily making the trip worth the expense and pain.
Now add all the old friends I was reunited with plus the new ones I made and it's obvious why I've been smiling ever since. I had a blast!!!
Thank you, everyone, for making me feel welcome. I'll be coming back.

Can you believe the gall of this guy? I enjoy people checking out the car but to just climb in.......he said he just wanted to take a picture of the dash when I kicked him out. <grin>

Keith Goss and myself.....when he used to work for Fleming & Aronson, I used to give him a hard time about his $150 car. I would tell Ron that someone had parked a piece of crap in front of his shop and it was bad for business. <grin> Imagine my surprise when I saw his beautiful chopped top car in Hot VW a few years later. This was the first time we've talked since back then and had a good laugh about it. Good times!

Thank Ed I had a great time with all of you and Marc nice to have seen your car after 35 years. And all of the members of DRA and Red Ron Haase it was also nice to see you at the Friday night and Saturday at the get together at the hotel. Kerry Morris was a member of the Vintage Club and use to hang out at Vintage Parts in Glendale Calif with Bob Scott Gary Longworth Cliff Crate and others.
Thanks
Frenchy

Marc, that picture of Dean in your car is priceless. Jason, you're right... we may not know much, but we know FUN. One of the main reasons I decided to join D.K.K. Good to see that the mission statement has remained the same since the beginning.
