Carlos is clearly running a Gene Berg Dual QP.
It sticks out a bit more and curves back nicely underneath the fenders.
Thought so..  Do they still manufacture those? I want one...I think so yeah, but hey... you gotta build the engine first dude |

 .....It's sad to see a nice car with someone that has no respect for other clubs driving it...........  Not to step on any toes.. I have seen the previous discussion on the subject. BUT, do you guys not see this as a tribute/pay respect to the cars/club? whenever I see a fake sticker like that I don't assume the driver pretends to be a member, but rather showing him self as a fan... I'm not saying anything on right/wrong, but you guys seem very fast to stamp them as very disrespectful. Would you even consider the "why" before you judge? |

I have a problem with fake stickers...ones that are stuck on the outside of the windows, the wrong shade of blue, mis-spelled words, etc. If you feel the need to display DKP's decals in your car, at least make it an original. More importantly, make sure your car looks and runs to our club's standards. |

More importantly, make sure your car looks and runs to our club's standards. Sorry Sarge but I don't share your fair view on this one . It takes a lot of hard work to set up a club such as yours and the fact that someone is prepared to rip off your stickers stinks , let alone stick them in a car which has not gone though your club entrance procedures , Those stickers on a car ( in my view ) show one of the highest accolade's that may in the scene would aspire to .  No one should display any club log's in there car without themselves or the car being a official member of said club. I can see that some may see this as faltering to that club , but it still don't sit right with me If you want to stick a log of a cool club ( in your eye's) in your car join one , or even better start your own  |

12 years ago not much money but loads of commitment. Running 112 hp engine Der transaxle close ratio box and gas burner wheels. I know the colour is not de rigeur but I liked it at the time. Inspired by a car featured in VW trends ,same colour  Our new car will be running Der transaxle 5 speed and a 2386 190 hp engine. Powder puff here we come Its the one on the left. If only it was the one on the right   |

I'm not saying anything on right/wrong, but you guys seem very fast to stamp them as very disrespectful. Would you even consider the "why" before you judge? for what its worth...i kinda agree with Trond.D, and whether you approve of it or not, it seems to me that the people that put those stickers in their cars do so with the best intentions.....to give the appearance of a true cal look car, (is any car in France, UK,or Belgium in 2007 a real cal-looker?......discuss.  ) anyone on the scene will know that they're not actually in the DKP, anyone not in scene....well, you know about their views....... it's just for looks. i wouldn't put those clubs stickers (or any others) on my car,its not my thing, but being a sensitive type of guy ( not THAT sensitive ) i kinda feel sorry for the dude that proudly put the pic up of his car on here that started this, only to get a hard time. oh....also...i might feel differently if i had been, or was currently a member of DKP or whoever..... ok , i'll get back to my bottle of wine now..... |

Bigger rear tires or get the wheels further out would help and with a little practice I`m sure Torgeir can park his car a little better before the blitz starts flashing |
