Today around 1:30, blue late 60's bug, lowered with a stinger and a pair of bikes on top. At Lougheed and King Ed.

Red T3 Variant heading along Abernethy and Golden Ears Way in Maple Ridge.  I was in my 79 Bus and followed it for a few km.  I waved but didn't see a reply.

I keep seeing a bus with the Creation of Adam hands painted on the sides. For awhile there I would see it parked in the construction parking of Science World.

saw a flat black bay window panel driving over port mann around 11:00am going east bound on saturday with some writing along the side of the bus

-who are you?

A few years late I know, but I own this Panel now. Its in Penticton and just needs some electrical work to be running again. I bought it sight unseen through a friend of a friend, and it turned up with Gnash Rat Rods South Wales written on the side. I have no idea why, but its cool as my roots are in South Wales.

- Gorgeous blue sixties(?) beetle, was turning left out of Park Royal on Thursday at about 6:30pm. Didn't catch who it was, I was back in the Taylor-way line. Was 67 or earlier, that's all I know from a distance!

- Another blue beelte, license plate ends in 422, spotted last Sunday on the bridge between GM and BC place. Made me miss my turn as I was trying to get a closer look! Pretty sure it's an early sixties model, but my 'early' breakdown is a little rusty. Had it been a super I probably could have picked the build month :P

Now that Spring has sprung here in the Kootenays, I've seen a nice dark blue bay window bus, a really nice yellow baja, and 3 70's Beetles. Hopefully my Oval will be in the mix soon.  :driving1:

Note the Beetle count at the end, 65!  Those were indeed the good old days.

Today at 5:30 pm, I saw some big goofy looking guy driving a pale yellow 65 beetle lowered with fuchs and what sounded like a 2332cc, near the Langley Events Centre on 80th ave. Nothing special really.  :29:
