Yesterday at 6pm at Save-on foods in Walnut Grove there was a mid 60's lowered, dark green and white beetle with pop-outs and stock looking chrome rims with California plates. Nice car.

Saw a nice red early beetle (I think it was an oval) on Sunday. It was heading towards WR beach on 32nd behind Southpoint mall.
Was that someone from the forums?

Saw a lady driven, horizon blue oval, heading south on Alma at Broadway around 1:30pm.
It was in really nice shape, stock height + wearing BRM's I think.

I've never seen that one before  :o

Early 60's black Beetle. Parked on W17th Ave. just east of Cambie.  Header, single QP, steel wheels, chrome hubcaps. At first I thought it was Silas' car, but he says it's not.


It's an insane world out there... and I'm proud to be part of it!

This afternoon we saw a violet colored manx style buggy in downtown Hope and a grey on the bottom and white on top split window van (had no side windows except for the ones on the doors) seemed to be lowered, it was heading out of Chiliwack towards Hope on the #1.

saw a red and cream white stock kombi on Fraser Hwy heading up the hill by Langley Memorial. Roof rack, looked pretty clean. Girl driving.

Probably was me Chris. The notch has been everywhere. Osoyoos, Harrison, around town. Love driving that car!
