Does anyone have pics off Rick Mortensen's blue 67 on BRM's?
Read a article about it in Volksworld in the mid 90ies... but without good pictures.
Thanks

I need to buy a scanner. I have a bunch of pics of his car from Solvang show back in 1996. What a neat car. Does he still have it?

He doesn't still have it. I soooo nearly bought it and shipped it to the UK, but it didnt work out. The motor, tranny and brakes were all down graded for the sale, so I didnt go through with it. I think Rick said it was sold to someone local to him. Excellent car and top bloke. |

It was featured in the Feb. 1996 issue of Hot VWs. I know because our cars were shot on the same day by R.K.

Was your car also in that issue? I think that is farther back than my collection goes though. --louis |

I have that issue laying next to my bed. Great write up on two cool cars. And the '67 vert isn't bad, also. Rick M seems to be a very knowledgeable guy, I bought my 90.5 Bs from him and got a chance to talk to him on the phone briefly. |

I remember how cool it was to park with you and Rick @ Solvang in 1996. Both very nice cars. Glad you still have yours, Don.

I still have the photo somewhere of all the BRM cars lined up, yours included. Yeah I still have mine. I will probably have it until I die. My wife has instructions to accept nothing less than $14k for it. If I live for a while longer the price might have to go up. That price would only cover the engine, transmission and wheels. Remember that old Berg stuff doesn't come cheap. |

Humm, make note to monitor Don B's health.  J/K you will be driving that thing for a long time. I was looking for the issue with your car's in it. Didn't find it but I did however come across the writeup of the 3rd Berg Cruise. (And the trailer queen.) Still makes me want to go drive my car. --louis |

Yeah that trailer queen was piece of work. Even the cops that arrived on the scene thought she was crazy. Her husband showed up and even he couldn't quiet her down. Good memories, wow that was a long time ago. Louis did you say you couldn't find the Feb. '96 issue or that you don't have it. I have extras (now I wonder why that is?).

I don't seem to have it. For some reason I have VWT back to 94 but my HVWs only go back to 97.

Okay here you go. The first one is outside my house about 6:00AM just before leaving on the 1997 Gene Berg Cruise. The second one was taken at the Hoover Dam on the Arizona side before crossing into Nevada. The third one is on the Road to Salt Lake City. Those clouds in the distance finally got us and we got drenched. All were taken on the '97 Berg Cruise.

Donny B told us somewhere...might have been in this post! It's a Volkswagen Eurovan (caravelle? in Europe?) color....something like Carribean Teal or something. It looks awesome in person. |

DONT GET A BRA!! Besides looking retarded, they will rub the paint right off your car, looking much worse than stone chips ever will. Wear your stone chips with pride!! |

The lighting is good because it is very early in the morning, probably just before sunrise.
