Offical Show Off Your Ride Thread

I can't believe I have not posted here yet.. All this time waiting to get in this awesome club and I forget about this thread! LOL. Ok here it is gang.. California Dreaming Babe!

Speedster "D"

Picture of my Pilgrim Speedster at a recent local VW meeting

Thanks, Patrick. I'll post a picture of the fix when I'm done.

Two of my rides:

Greg

I love showing off my cars! So here are a couple of pictures. I am still working on making the engine in the 356 look like an original and I will post pictures when that happens.

Thanks to everyone that was at Paso Robles. You made it a great trip for Sharon and me. We had a ball! We leave in the morning for Carlisle and are really looking forward to meeting the "eastern members" of this group.

Drive fast, drive safe and have fun!

When we were talking about garages at the Paso Robles gathering I mentioned that I was remodeling mine and said I would send pictures when finished. Well, here they are. I put in new electric throughout, resheetrocked the whole thing, new lights, new cabinets, new paint and tiled the floor. I am awfully proud of it but Sharon is pointing out that it is nicer than the average family room and perhaps (she says) I should install a TV, 'fridge and rollaway. [That could be dangerous ... too easy to get banished to the "dog house" !]

Thanks for letting me "show off".

Here is my new '02 Vintage Speedster. Just applied for plates this week DAS TUB should be her new name.

It's been raining in Chicago for four days straight so I have not been able to pick her up up from the detail shop. I'm told she's looking great.

First thing I noticed is that you relocated the "posted" female guards ~

I had to keep those "posted guards" as they are of my favorite model (Sharon - my wife of 41 years) Though I like looking at my cars I like looking at her even more.

(He is really a dirty old man! - Sharon)

Update for ya.

well, here she is, next week the over rider bar and guards get back from chrome shop, finally!

sorry wrong pic

yep, shes the one, can't wait for the gaurds and over riders!! And of course next is the luggage rack!

Speedster and 911- my fingernails are always dirty...

Hi Dusty & Sharon!

Dusty it looks like the craftsmanship from your leatherworks is carried over to your garage remodel (design & finished product). If I were your neighbor, you'd have a hard time keeping me out of your garage looking at all the cool cars.

Hey Jane!

I do believe that once you have accessorized your Speedy, you will definitely be the cat's "Meow"!

Greetings Kurt!

Nice rides (is that 911 a '67?)

Here's a few of pics from our photo file. My wife says it looks like she's hanging out on the beach with "Notorious B.I.G"!

P.S - Isn't it obvious that we like to stop in Pismo Beach whenever we're in the neighborhood?

Gotta love that vanilla color Jane; your Mercedes (there's more than one right?) looks cool too.

After 9 mo. of waiting my speedster is finally home. Henry did a great job.

Hey Ralph!

By the looks of your new Speedy, it certainly was worth the wait!

Cool color, reminds me of a tune that was popular when I was in the military - "Mellow Yellow".

Enjoy the ride!!!

Thanks Jim: The color is Corvette Daytona Yellow.

Beauty, Ralph. Elegant.

Ralph
Great looking car.I love the interior-steering wheel.

I am officially tickled to death.
Adrian, thanks for the grilles. Good stuff here in Maryland, even though it's still two weeks from roadworthy.
The handicapped sticker will come off when she fires up and runs for the first time.

Cory,
The Hoopty is looking good. I like the way the tonneau turned out!

Cory, that's too cool!!!

Thanks, fellas! When I get back out to the garage in the morning, all I will be doing tomorrow is working on tin. Sartwell has this crazy idea that the entire car can be put in aluminum in one day. We have to make the floorboards out of the diamond plate first, put the five-point bolts in for the seatbelts, work out the door panels, make two firewalls and a footwell box all in the same eight to twelve hours. Then he wants to bead-roll the edges so it doesn't look unfinished. We may bring this bad mamma-jamma to PA with Kleekoes sticking out of it like an airplane in rehab.
I'll tell you right now that the first thing I'm going to want Saturday afternoon is a firgging icy Coca-Cola. Then I'll be scouting for a comfy chair and a hat to siesta under.

(Lane, I'll wake up long enough to honor my promise of push-propelling you and making the obligatory BRRRRRMMMMM noises.)

'Bout time to dust this thread off.
Anybody got pictures of Lenny C's ride, or of Tom Raymond's in the Smokeys?
Leon, we'll need to see one of yours, and it's about time to see Danny and Angela post some over here, too.

Here ya go, along with a few extras from that trip.

And one more just cuz I like the picture :-)

Great idea Cory, and Lane nice pix of you in the tub... funny to see guys that posted two years ago and those folks that well lets just say they are no longer owners, but we still like to hear from them too. Here some recent shots from So Cal...

Speedster "D"

David,
I hardly recognized your car! I guess I only got to see it from the back ... in the rain! Let it get dirty before you come to Moro Bay, I hate to have you show me up ... again! :-)

Lane,
Yours still looks like it just came off the jack stands! I like the addition of the fog lights, too. We are looking forward to that dinner with you in PA.

Happy Trails,
Dusty and the "zoftic" Miss Sharon (?)

Even though I do not have the car anymore,I will post a few pictures just for the heck of it.

Green Coupe, Red Barron and Black Beauty (Wild Bill's) on day of delivery of the Coupe and my Speedster at Tom's place last July.

Fun stuff . . .

My two tubs.

Hard to believe this post was reserected from over 2 years ago
