edit...also, didn't see it personally, but got word from a reliable source that the wok was breaking in the rebuilt turbo motor and terrorizing the streets of Richmond this afternoon too...

Doesn't count unless someone else sees it.

Saw a procession of gaily coloured beetles with chrome wheels and suspension problems all in a line heading west on 16'th ave. through Campbell valley park in Langley last night ~17:45, all sorts of lurid colours like off blues, greens, oranges and one convertible that could be best described as flesh coloured. There was a similarly broken looking panel bus following them all, I can only assume they were limping home in a convoy after some sort of serious off road competition involving surplus mistint paint attacks. Hope they made it back to a place for repairs!

Just kidding, looked great guys!

445pmish, Lougheed Hwy near the Golden Ears bridge: out of the corner of my eye a gorgeous, lowered split bus. Has to belong to someone on here.

Saw this behind KMS Tools in Coquitlam. Don't know what year but had fins in the deck lid so not too old. Pretty much a basket case but maybe someone might be interested.

Saw a sweet black fastback down at Crescent beach with an N on the back, looked like he might have been cruising for chicks!

Jag at Knight and King Ed, he was headed South. I was west bound K.E.. Gave him a beep on the horn and a wave...nothing but attitude from the guy. No wave, no acknowledgment... just because I drive a wasserboxxer.....

Nice looking mid sixties DC on Marine Drive yesterday. Two tone agua green and white. I was in the beetle. Gave each other the nod. Big Strictly German decal on the back. Those SGVWA guys get around. I see them everywhere.

Have you ever come out to the parking lot and find someone getting a picture of themselves inside your ride. ( so no that's not me). Wife found this post on a Facebook lol. It's actually pretty funny. I've heard of cats slipping in the window to sleep but come on. I feel pretty honoured. But funny.

I have had that. I had a lady come up and talk to me about my bug and proceeded to tell me she's seen it around and actually sat in it one day when she saw it in the parking lot. Said something about not getting enough of that VW smell!?

Richard Kuczko · « **Reply #804 on:** July 11, 2014, 02:52:45 PM »

It's funny how people are about these cars

owdlvr · « **Reply #805 on:** July 11, 2014, 03:20:41 PM »

...I'd probably lose it if I came out to someone inside my car. But I guess I'm a little protective.

WESTY69 · « **Reply #806 on:** July 12, 2014, 02:00:37 PM »
