I've spent many a mile behind one of those. Over the years I've had many VW Bugs. Used to buy them, fix them, drive them for a while sell for a small profit & repeat the process.
Nice set of pictures Sandpatch, I love the bus & that MK1 GTI is pretty cool too. :encouragement:
The VW meet was sponsored by the VW Air Cooled Association, so brought out a lot of Bugs like these. I liked a window sticker I saw on one that read Air Cooled Hooligans. (My wife couldn't resist buying a Fahrvergnügen sticker for our new Golf Wolfsburg!)
