I wonder... do those little luvers (sp?) in that last pic actually help with a stock cooling setup (-4/-6) or are they just for appearance?
Posted by: bernbomb914 Feb 6 2005, 04:15 PM
I dont know, but they do draw air thru them

Damn, Aaron. You sure know how to bring a knife to a gun fight

Cant be Mikey, he aint wearing a hawaiian shirt. The flip-flops in the rain is a pretty good impersonation tho.
Posted by: drew365 Feb 6 2005, 08:42 PM
So, for those of us that didn't get to go, was this get together anything like Dunkels? Better, worse? Any fancy car displays?

So I imagine after a few weeks, that should start to smell pretty strong? Maybe he could take you for a ride in his car.

Well I don't know about his hand, but I won't wear that shirt again until WCC 05! Where are the pics you took, Scott?

I was disapointed in the swap meet not near as good as the old Dunkels. not many european cars there. mostly porsche but not like the old meets.maybe the weather had something to do with it.

Never went to Dunkels, so don't really know, but this wasn't much. Maybe it's me, but Ventura didn't rock my socks either. Our little group is great, and I did pick up a few more sponsors and entrants for WCC. We really should do a monthly meet.

I wondered who that was you were talkin to Mikey when we walked up. I could see that you were..."workin" ....so I didn't interrupt. Maybe next time you won't be so "busy" and can introduce us ? Thanks to all the other members who came up and spoke when we were at the car. It was great meeting some of you at the AutoX and dinner and more at the swapmeet. Maybe someday my long-lost son will grace us Socal folks with his prescence again? Thanks again..............Dad

Had a good time at the swapmeet. Not as big as I expected, but I found a nice combo gauge for $5. We sold a lot of stuff, so packing the bus & vanagon wasn't too bad.
It was great to put faces to names at the dinner. Thanks to all that came and chowed down with us. I kinda feel a little sorry for those who sat near us. Z was his normal self (sorry Mike )
I didn't get the chance to check out all the members' cars, someday I should go to one of these things in the teener & just hang out with the gang.
The trip home started out badly, traffic was almost a standstill, so we scooted over to PCH (Hiway 1 to you non CA folk), and went up the coast that way. Got home 7:30ish, and I was sawing logs by 9:30. This getting up at 4:30 in the morning sucks!! Glad I only have to do it a few times a year. Next time I think we'll find a motel in a slightly better part of town.
I saw a few folk taking pics, but aven't seen the results posted yet. I know skline took a few of the crowd at Johnny Rebs, & we talked the waitress into snapping a few. Anyway, thanks to all for livening up the trip for us!

How about a Bug Eyed Sprite? The owner was asking 15K. Something to think about with pricing our 914's

I recognize that second micro car as a Messerschmitt. What is the first one? NSU?
Those Germans and their air-cooled tail-draggers.
Posted by: Dad Roberts Feb 7 2005, 01:49 PM
The first micro cars' nameplate was on the dash.....Bianchian....or something like that. All I know was that it was very close to the Vespa car my brother bought from our uncle back in the early seventies. This one had LOTS more chrome than the Vespa tho. Same suicide doors, top, and 2 cylinder motor. Ours was a 2 cycle, you had to put oil in a tank that mixed with the fuel. We fabbed up an expansion chamber with a silencer for an exhaust. Top speed......bout 40, downhill, with a tailwind . I had to look that one over good.....brought back memories .....obviously .....Dad edit....I went to the site....www.carsfromitaly.com....it sure looks like it was the car.....coulda swore it was a Vespa......now I have to look up....Vespa..
Posted by: Reiche Feb 7 2005, 01:58 PM
Looks like an Autobianchi "Bianchina." Found it on www.carsfromitaly.com
Posted by: Dad Roberts Feb 7 2005, 02:00 PM
Well......I was close.....old age, ya know?? Dad
