Malcolm Holser and family, in Midpines, California, about 30 miles outside of Yosemite Valley, the single most beautiful place on the planet. We own a whole raft of VW's a Toyota Landcruiser, and an Acura Legend. My father had a VW Beetle, 1952, when I was born, but we went to a 54 Deluxe Microbus (I was the youngest of seven children). My first VW was a '57 singlecab. Currently we have four "runners" and four non-runners at our place, doing our best to uphold the tradition of a minimum 1-car-per-acre of rural America. Our "runners" are: 1980 Vanagon Westfalia -- been all over the US, almost. 1986 vanagon GL -- the "Scout-mobile" 1986 Transporter Kombi Syncro -- a big red beast 1986 Transporter Syncro Doublecab -- beigish-brownish, matches our dirt. Along with a 1972 Westy, a 1977 bus, a 1981 Vanagon and a 1982 Diesel Westy. Formerly a Park Ranger in Yosemite, now a computer geek in the silicon valley, where I go for meetings and such in a small plane. |
