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?

The 6th day

Now was it time to drive up to Daytona beach. We did drive down to West Palm beach on the way to check out my new house.

My new house. Unfortunately must I build a new bigger garage :D

My dad was tired to sit beside me so he bought his own new Audi that he could follow us with.

We stopped at Ron Jon at Cocco beach to buy some stickers and t-shirts.

The Ron Jon store was huge. Surf shopen in Varberg looked like the entrance compare to this place.

On the way down to the beach did we see this nice Westfalia bus.

To cold in the air, I just refuse to take my t-shirt of.
Michael looks happy to be in the same pictures as som girls. They are pointing at the good looking guy behind him , that would be me i think ;)

Transmisson school

We did visit Bill alias MrClean the other night to pick up all my stuff I had order.

Little Christmas Eve at Bill's garage. Ken's boy help me out to open up all the boxes.

Bill has a big and nice garage that I guess is everyones dream that restor cars.

Bill's friend Leroy arrived with his very nice Ghia. Leroy have done all the work on the Ghia him self, even the painting of it.

Low enough?

The Gasburner look just perfect on this Ghia.

Michael did find an old "broken" tranny. He started to take it apart at once. Bill Ken and Leroy listen carfully on what he says.

This swedish guy know some stuff about this ;)
In the middle of the lesson did a Service manager from Lamborghini in West Palm Beach arrive. He needed som help with adjusting his carburettors. Strange that a service guy don't know how to adjust some carburettors.

Back to the lesson again. Time to put it together again. Michael could not find anything wrong with it. Now even the mistery man on the left side show up. Sorry, forgott your name and not even Bill know who you are when i asked for your name :D

Some heat and some hits with the hammer and it was together again.

Don't even dream about to steal Bill's cars. This monsters will eat you alive. Some beers and pizza and Ken was waisted drunk ;)
