Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Paul's interest in air-cooled VWs got me to digging for pictures. Want to see some crappy pictures? No? Ok, have a look!
![]() The '56 Bug I had through HS. I had stashed it in the barn on my folks' place while I was living on CA. I had the chrome Porsche wheels but the tires rotted up and when I got new tires I discovered one wheel was messed up, so grabbed the star spoke for cheap. Not the look I wanted, but it looked alright I guess. It was still a blast to drive! The '66 Bus I had made into my camper I sold to my gal. She got run off the road coming home from the beach. I found a '63 Kombi that had camper windows to restore and put all the goodies in it. This is about as far as I got when she broke up with me. I remember saying, "But I haven't finished the bus, yet" ![]() The '66 picture was taken at a weekend bull roast field party.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Cleaning out my little shop hoping to have enough room in there to easily move about this fall and winter. Down to 18 boxes of magazines (99% car) ranging from the 40’s through early 70’s. Water stain was on the box pre stuffing with mags.Winter project to scan what I want and then probably toss.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
It must have sounded like a helicopter when it flew in.
That thing looks like trouble.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
All you have to do to avoid trouble with it is not be a tarantula. Nobody here is a tarantula, right? Better keep those bushy eyebrows trimmed!

![]() I don't know about that nasty snarlygaster wasp being harmless to humans. We don't have those, either, so I looked them up. Effecys from their sting are: - Abnormal swelling of face, lips, and throat - Red bumps and itching on other parts of the body - Respiratory issues - Dizziness - Hypotension I'll make sure I get my eyebrows trimmed before coming out that way!
