You would think that the bright colour would attract the local constabulary, but it doesn't.

As I was stopped at the light at Kingsway and Griffiths in Bby, I recognised the familiar V paint scheme of an early Type 2.  Blue with white top.  But wait, it had one full width windshield.  It didn't look right for a Bay window van, too narrow and not high enough.  As I turned onto Kingsway, I pulled over for a better look.  It was one of those modern Japanese microvans.  Even had the big VW logo on the front!

A blue split bus with white rear bumper (maybe a 14 window? I'm no bus expert by any means) with no windows installed and pretty low to the ground. It was parked in a driveway on the south side of 16th ave. a couple blocks from 128 st. in White Rock.

In Waikiki, have seen a few VW's including a few nice bay windows (restored condition? Early vert T1, a Baja a few late models but the best yet was an early Oval Rag Top Cream with tan roof and chrome Radars on big and littles....I think I heard IDA's. Went by too fast to get a pic , it turned into Pearl Harbour.....who ever you are..Nice Job!
