“I just finished listening to the Joh Lazenby /DKP podcast. I grew up in Eastern LA county(Cerritos)/North Orange County area from the 70s through to today, and listening to this podcast was an incredible journey back in time for me. I still reside here in Fullerton and listening to all of John’s incredibly detailed references from Becker’s paint over in Anaheim near the Santa Ana River to Auto Haus up on Beach Boulevard as well as Johnny’s over by the 5 fwy and Small car Specialties on Orangethorpe was like jumping in a Time Machine. So cool!
Just in case you take requests, here are my 3 interview requests.
1. Charlie Hamill (the enigmatic and aloof low key guru of the Pre ‘68 bus world and founding member of OCTO)
2. Everett Barns(Owner and builder of the worlds premier Vintage VW website that has literally reshaped the hobby)
3. Pete Santini (owner and founder of Santini Custom Paint in Santa Ana, the go to shop for all custom paint jobs for VW‘s in the wild 1980s)
Bill, you really are doing the Lord’s work by documenting these VW pioneers true life stories for the VW world. Time flies fast and if thes peoples stories are not recorded and documented, the true history of this amazing community will be lost to time. Thank you!
See you at OCTO and btw Happy Birthday!
Steve Harris”
