I still can't believe the muppet that thought he would try and see if the Gold leafing would peel off as though it was a sticker

I still can't believe the muppet that thought he would try and see if the Gold leafing would peel off as though it was a sticker

and not just one person,we witnessed several doing this

What makes a normal person think it is ok to try picking at the pinstriping/paintwork/gold leaf etc on a vehicle at a car show to see if it will peel off or not,or even touching it at all,its not yours leave it alone

then when politely asked not to touch it,look surprised & bemused to be told they shouldnt do it,absolute XXXXs

Amazing- you had people at the show trying to pick at the lettering?  Did anyone question them?

Yes Russell did to a few of them,they just didnt get it,the space we were allocated was just not big enough,the barriers were right against the back of the bus allowing people to lean over and touch it!!!!

When my son was a child he went to allot of car shows and was taught to keep your hands in his pockets and never touch anyone's car, funny thing is he is now 32 still goes to car shows and when he gets close to a car his hands go into his pockets!

If only more parents taught there kids some respect for other peoples property it would be a better place we live in You obvioulsy did a good job there Dom,or Denise did

But in fairness these werent kids,one was proberly late 40s,the rest adults, and all the kids seemed to behave around the cars from what I saw

cheers richie

Well, now that I have seen photos of the Race Shop hauler done and outside, I now have a new favorite among the RR collection. Wanta trade?

That's funny, I still do the same thing and I'm 47!  I think (hope) that people who can't keep their hands off a car done to this level do it because they have no idea what it takes ($$ and labor) to do work like this. If they do know what it takes to do this level of work then shame on them!

It's kinda like people I see sometimes that put their feet (with shoes on or off) on the dashboard of a car.  That drives me nuts when I see that....

Deano no problem, send me the details of the locations for IP 1 and 2, the Deano 1st and second car, a pot of gold and we could work a deal.  ;DB

Sounds like a good deal

Here's a Bug-In shot of the famous Race Shop Double Cab with Bentley at the controls, towing Darrell's Fiat to the starting line ... If only this truck could talk about its past! I think this is a Ron Fleming photo...

[Russell]

looks like the blue beetle in the background was Dave Andrews car

[beatnik beetle]

Great photo, let's hope that when it gets featured there are plenty of old photo's as well, again honoured to be involved with the restoration of such a cool piece of VW Drag Racing history..Si

Any sneaky peaks of the 67's to go with the bus??
