Well. I did find that '67 kabriolett in a salvage yard in Sun Valley CA, but my friend Larry owned it. The BRM's did belong to 3 of us- Larry's  5, my 8, and Len Hedge's 8. The photo was taken at an OCIR BUG-IN on what would have been the 91st birthday of
Adolf H.

the bug is the only good action from hitler 
another question tinman did you had some 356a brake drums at the front of your convert?? there's somethings silver behind the wheels??

[speedwell]

yes that butternut car is a very nice brown, it was in a vw trends and it still belongs to don metz. i really like that car. that is the reason i have some 'flat' riviera's.

for now i hope to run them on my square or maybe switch things up from time to time on the square. if someone has more pictures of it please post them as i would love to see more of it.

and fabs: we have said that the yellow one with the porsche emblem looks 'different' but maybe someone has more pictures and stories about that one as well. to me it looks good.

Yeah we are (at least I am) interested, but I'm only sucking up the info... can't really contribute to the topic since I have very little knowledge (apart from what's written in the bible) about these old clubs...

 Keep on posting!!!   

[jick]

yeah!...like jordy says.....

the Don Metz car was a small side feature in Volksworld many years ago....maybe early 90's??

the main feature was about his pale grey 'vert that i thought had Fuch's?......both great cars.
