Some fun photos of my VW history...

Post by ObnoxiousBlue »

Untroubledly, Glenn will say "half of those aren't VWs" and then, post his VW history, comprised of one car.
Then, a photo of his bike...

Tom, that poor bus was such a wreck. It's a shed now, up in Rochester. There had been a mural on the nose, two owners before me. It had been a wolf howling on a mountain, with the moon in the background. I had a picture of it, but it's been long lost. Some friends and I pulled that bus from the side of LIVCPREZ's house. I rolled it for a few months before coming to terms with the reality of how unsafe it was.

Didn't know the collection was such a long list. Was Buzz a long lost cousin to Glenn's?

Yeah, I used it for a while. I sold it to a kid in Brentwood. I saw it for a few months then it was gone. No idea where it ended up.

Rob I don't think that I ever saw a fastback in the neighborhood. My friends parents had a nice green 70's square back till about 1977. His dad use to export VW'S to Brazil in the 70's and 80's.
