Post by: Lanny on June 09, 2008, 04:45:43 PM: Thanks everybody! It took Best Of Show/Promoters Choice yesterday..we are definitely happy as The Classic is notoriously difficult for out of towners.
RK Smith from HotVWs shot the car on Wednesday/Thursday and I believe Shin Watanabe from Japan shot it yesterday. Stephan Szantai will shoot it at GCVWS this year. Joe and I driving it in to Nicks Friday night was fun to say the least..Bap Bap Bap..

Awesome car! Hats off to all involved! Congrats on the awards. But I have one question. What's with the speedo? It looks like it's stuck somewhere around 80mph.
Title: Re: Who's CRAZY B.C. car is this at the Classic?

pretty sure it's a 68. the bumpers and tail-lights are the most noticeable parts on a late car.

Yep it started out as a 68 Semi Auto(hence the IRS). It may appear confusing as the dash looks more like a 67. The speedo is an electronic Auto Meter that hasn't been programmed yet. I have to find an open 2 mile stretch to set it up.. ;)

Lanny, you should be able to calibrate it, using a hand held GPS unit.

Congratulations to Joe, and all his little worker bees, for a job well done. :)

Lanny do you happen to know the history of that car? Reason I ask is my Aunt in North Van had a 68 green sunroof semi auto for 20 ++ years . I think she sold to a guy who drove bus Maybe 8 - 10 years back?

Post by: Lanny on June 11, 2008, 08:03:33 PM: The car came from Long Beach California 2 1/2 years ago. Out of the dozens of VW's I've built, this was the cleanest by far, not a speck of rust, nothing. 45,000 mile cream puff..

That we drove 2500kms (one way) to the show in!

Yep that beast Lanny built will be a tough one to top. Never heard it run, but imagine it would sound very different then any VW out there. 8)

Post by: RoadRunner on June 12, 2008, 08:00:09 AM: trust me guys...I heard Joe fire that beast up in the trailer the morning of the Classic and EVERYONE in the parking lot stopped and turned to see what that awesome ROAR was coming from ;D

I just wish Joe had been in the lot rather than in the car to get the FULL experience

overall, it was a great show, have some good pics to post when we eventually get home.A few days in Vegas without polishing the car were marvelous but now we are back on the road :-\

Met tons of cool people! Trevor and Ken....killer bus! So proud to be Canadian at this show with those that came! Joe & Julie....hope you got that trailer loaded and home safely after the final photo shoot of the weekend 8) Freddie and Paul (the token american in the bunch) good to meet you both,glad we weren't in the man van too much though :P

see you all at the Great Canadian show in August!
