Now let not get into a long winded discussion as to weather Dave should or should not paint HIS car  Roll Eyes Wink Smiley

I will say though my personal favourite picture of Dave's 64 is on page 68 of Stephan Szantai's book with Mr Webb driving and it looks like its just been dragged out of a barn where it was stored in 1975  Grin Now when I told Dave this his exact words were:

"Ah man it looks like a piece of crap in that one!" and I saw his point, I mean aren't "Cal Lookers" ment to have a "Super neat one-colour custom paint job" Undecided Wink Smiley

Dave's gonna crack up when he see's this  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I think the one in that shot is the 'fake' one, it often gets confused with the one from way back. It was actually the replica one that was photographed parked up next to Schwimmers car and a couple of others on that magazine cover a few years back and obvioously this has only added to the confusion. I heard the original is now blue?

... no it cant be as i have it in Aberdeen ...

I had no idea you had it, all I heard was that it was under a cover gathering dust! Maybe there's a load of them?

Is Dave's Bug Too still about or did that get shipped to Europe along with the old DRF club house?

 Tongue

Out of interest does anyone have a scan handy of the 'replica' on the magazine cover next to Bill's car and a couple of others back in the early 90s? It's a cool shot.

The photo I'm talking about is the magazine cover shot of the cars lined up together over in the States around the time DKP III was coming together, it's a great shot of some cool cars.
