49th-Main St. Vancouver, 7:00 am




yup...heading to work.

a few nights ago i saw a nice early sixties, mango-greenish and pearl-whitish, split window kombi on main and 16th.

and almost every day i see the guy with the nice looking orange thing heading south on oak, and i usually follow him for a bit before he turns right on 33rd. the kicker is that he always has the windshield and top down no matter how crazy the weather is (rain, cold, etc)!!!

Gorgeous blue/orange splitty parked at the Giants game tonight. Nice work, you convinced two of the teens I coach that a slammed bus is rad!

Also passed a white later model on Marine Drive at about 10pm last night. Might have been Pipes in his '67?

Hahaha... no there wasn't. Actually, I thought the second Beetle might have been slightly shinier. Wow, 2 black Bugs within minutes. If you see somebody manically wave at you next time with longer hair and some facial hair, that's gonna be me.  O0

Red 60s Beetle with black fenders and a roof rack.  Spotted it on Boundary heading north at 5:00 as I was driving away from the Aircare with my annual pass.

Saw a lime green oval slammed on smoothies, looked like it may have been new paint... it was pretty clean!
Sitting on a flatdeck heading south on the King George highway and 152nd at about 3:00pm on Friday.

I don't think I have seen this one before... anyone know it?

Yesterday saw a flatdeck hauling an old red Citroen 2CV and towing a late 50's or early 60's matching red Type1 convert on 100th at 176th St. Both looked like they had just been pulled out of a field.

- I have seen a late model (1970+) three-tone green beetle heading south down Hwy 99 twice in the last month. Three different greens...in a "VW-Trends" style dividing the car on an angle up the side. Not sure how to explain it!

- Red Baja Beetle westbound on Hwy 1 today, probably between 10am and 11am.

- Silas parked...outside his house.

OK, from now on, Silas' car doesn't count.  Unless it's moving.

Only noted since I was posting the others ;-)  He's noted so many times in this thread I don't think he should count at all anymore!
