SPOTTED: Type 3 Ghia\Razoredge Ghia, Blue with white roof, on the Abbotsford-Mission highway just before the bridge on the abby side. They gave me a huge wave as I cruised past in my bug

Did it start out brown or was that the aftermath of a blaze?

Bruce · « **Reply #635 on:** July 15, 2011, 10:20:00 PM »

Nope, it was just parked there. The fire trucks were busy putting out some kind of fire at one of the office buildings there.
I've never seen a 6" dia fire hose before!

Nick Simmons (Gene Simmons son) at the Boulivard Casino show today. So dreamy in real life.

Seemed genuinely interested in the car show. Was taking lots of pics and asking the owners questions. Had quite a following of on lookers just kind of staring at him. Kind of strange.

Parked outside the show was a pretty clean red early '60's beetle. Roof rack and 5 spoke empi's. Jord63 maybe? Gave each other a wave.

Riding my bike with my kids 3o minutes ago and the red and black V8 spit window Van passed us on 204th & 92nd. My 3 year was screaming "Cool Volkswagen Bus, cool Volkswagen bus!!" Indeed it is.

Yes that was me. Your car looked great. Love the paint color.
The first time you went by my wife was picking my kids up from me to take them home. The second time you passed I was waiting for my budy with his car trailer to take it home for me. :'(
I pulled away from the stop sign at that four way and it popped twice through the carbs and stalled. Crank, no start. Got it home now, ill look at it tomorrow. Good show though.

Jeremy · « **Reply #639 on:** July 17, 2011, 10:58:47 PM »

That's shitty. If I had known I would have stopped and done what I could. I had some basic tools. Should have stopped anyway. Good show. Lots of cars.

Think I saw that same bus on highway 1 last night between aldergrove and langley. Its like really dark purple right? It must have a big motor because it was in the fast lane

Yeah it was pretty dark, its probably the same one. Doubt that there are a lot of baywindow's with that colour out there.

Just Saw Bruce heading north past Nesters in Whistler. I waved to the mexi-beetle, until I realized I was driving a white explorer and you wouldn't recognize me

Bruce, what happened to the back fender?

Bruce · « **Reply #653 on:** September 15, 2011, 08:11:04 PM »

Indeed, I didn't see you. Was up there for 3 days for "work".

An errant driver backed into it. Will be fixed soon.

Saw a very clean Marina Blue 73 Super heading south on Gilley off Oakland.
It's not very often that two Beetles randomly pass each other these days.
