California Trip
« on: August 05, 2004, 01:39:33 AM »
Yes I did take the family for a nice holiday at Walt's  Diseyland.  Yup , kids loved it , first time for me too. Wow ...what a place  BLaa blaa blaa .
Now for the really cool stuff!
Went to VW trends dyno day , lots of really nice cars and peaple too including  the one and only DYNO Don  the announcer for the event who got chatting with my 8yr old son  and soon found out we were from Canada and quickly and officially annouced our visiting this event from Canada.  But man was it just cool to see and hear the cars on the dyno. A turbo race bug pulled off the most power at  501 hp to the wheels!!! Sorry , forgot the guys name . Just remember the car. Aparently it runs 9.30's at over 150 mph and had a minor brush with a wall.( no surprise)
Also went to the DKP meet sunday night. Very cool!
 And also got to visit a few shops in the area including Bergs , BFY , kustom 1 warehouse , and Heads Up Performance before I just ran out of time.  There are sooo many more in that area. Places like Fat , Rimco , DPR , Lowbugget , Moores , Rancho trans , RLR , etc. etc.  Oh well , maybe next time. Maybe the \"Classic\" ..... Hmmmmmmm :rolleyes:

Actually , while at Bergs , Dee Berg takes time out of her busy day and pulls out a couple boxes of vw toy cars and offers my kids to pick any one they want as a gift. Very cool !  She also offered to take us the shop tour herself but suggested that Tim does a better tour.  We went with Tim :rockon:


Ive got pictures but they are the old fashon type.......you know the type you have to take in and get developed.  Even when we do get them back I would'nt have a clue how to post them.  I'll have them with me at the GCVWS  weekend ,  hows that.  See ya then Outkast!!
