I have been pulled over once in 72 bus. It was two days after i bought it and had not yet gotten it register(ie no plates). I have quite long hair and do some what resemple a hippy. The cop gave me no hassle despite not having plates, turnsignals and breaklights(break lights still don't work, no switch in trans(suggestions??))

I am the 4th owner of my bus. At somepoint i am going to rip out the interior and look for a the lost things and drugs people got about. There were days i worried about this.

Good luck Steve Pribyl VW72II@aol.com 72 camper
