Party with the Wide Five CLUB

After the visit at Bills place in West Palm Beach did we drive up against Daytona and further on to Lakeland. The plan was to visit the Lakeland VW classic. When we finally arrived to Lakeland did Bill told us that we had to drive to Fort Meade for a party. If it had bin in Fort Meade had it bin close :) When we was driving did my thoughts go to the movie Deliverance. Lucky me didn't we run out of gas :D

Finally did we see a sign "VW show" at the Rhoden Rd. This was not the place yet but not so far away.
This was a very nice area with open field and alot of orange plantations.
Endless straight roads. I just loved to drive on this roads.
This was what meet us when we arrived to Mike's and Serena's place.
Wide 5's club emblem.
Some skating in front of the cars.
Some of the VW's that belongs to the guy's and girls in Wide 5.
The party had already started when we arrived.
Bill talk smack and drink some beers with the guy's.
My dad inspect Mike's very nice VW.
Now is my dad inspecting Serena's two coloured VW.
Bas ass bug. This belongs to a the cool girl, Cristin. She found it as a buggie without fenders. She did all the restoration as it is today. Why can't my wife change transmission? Becuase she can do alot of other things i guess.
Grey BRM is perfect on this ride.
Mike's modified double cabin. This was a very cool ride.
Leroys very nice Ghia.
Michael disscus with Bill Beside Patrick's Porsche 914.
The lucky guy Mike won this ultimate toolbox at Lows. Even a refrigerator is it in it. Can it be better.
Pioneer CD-player installed from the store with speaker and mp3 function. Speaker and build in spotlight.
Mike's very nice Texas brown Typ-1 from 56. Mike has just finished it. The VW is not 100% done. There are still some small adjustments to do.
Chrome BRM to the brown colour are perfect.
The intreior is nice but not perfect. Mike will change the carpet to one from Himmelservice when he got some time.
The engine is brand new and build by Bill aka MrClean.
Most of the parts is new repro parts.
Chrome BRM as spare tire.
Later did Joe arrive. Joe is the guy behind the biggest VW meeting in Florida, WinterJam weekend in Daytona.
Joe's Varitant fully packed with stuff.
Leroy in his Ghia. This Ghia is one of my favourites this trip. Leroy have done all the work himself. Even the painting.
I just love this ride.
Mike and Leroy out for a ride.
To bad that Bill coulden't adjust Mike's VW. It was running to hot due to small jet's. It was running way to lean.
The road out side Mike's place is straight as an arrow. How wouldn't like to have a dragstripe outside the
soil. VW Show at Rhoden Rd.
Me is taking a ride with Leroy's Ghia. Didn't I look happy?
