Both endless summer movies are excellent entertainment. The original (1966) shows a lot of VW buses all over the world. The second movie shows a lot of VWs in South Africa, where the Syncro and dune buggy were shown. The director and narrator, Bruce Brown, shows a lot of amusing scenes, including the one where the buggy stalls out in the game preserve and lions crawl all over it with the surfers inside. Highly recommended.
