USA VW Pics 2013...
Having done the "Classic Week" for the past five years, I figured it was time to extend the invite to some other vw nuts and bring a group of
guys/girls over to see the SoCal VW scene!
13 of us arrived in LA last Friday and after a quiet first day, we were up bright and early (5am gates open) Saturday for Pomona....pics below:

Whilst the VW events are the priority of the trip, for those who haven't been to the US before, some sight seeing had to be on the cards:
Venice beach

The riff-raff

Fat Pat drunk again

Our chariots....fun times in the mega van 

Couldn't miss a visit to Sin City


View from our hotel


On the way to some off road buggy action

| Unfortunately you cant buy good taste... either you have it or you dont. I know the narrowed beam will eventually be a case of
"What in the world were we thinking?", but for now i really like it.
I just feel bad that i cut my matching original beam, thankfully i kept the bump stops with the correct numbers

Following Pierside Parts open house on the Friday, came the get together at Nicks Diner - originally started by the DKP club, the "cruise" has grown
into an event of its own!
