hey..
thanks for the slideshow utube thing.
They sure start to all look alike after a while, all those Bugs.
I did like the Biminni top though ...like to see one on a Vanagon sometime.
I'm sure it's been done.
and what pathetically obnoxious and monotonous music !
well finally some vocals after a while - still sucks I think.

an 11 1/2 minute long slide show !
I guess I am just burnt out on air-cooled VW's.
would have been nice to see some Vanagons featured.
They need those there to camp in evidently.
thanks for posting it.
just keep the sound down.

How much is gas in Europe these days anyway ?

probably as bad as the super touristy california price and place where I had
to buy a few gallons  recently ...it was $ 5.60 per gallon.  20 bucks got me
less than 4 gallons.  Ouch !
