Post by: RoadRunner on August 02, 2006, 06:20:15 PM: Well, my first car was a 65 Type I that Russell and Brad towed across the border from Bellingham for me. (There are still pink and teal powder coated valve covers running around locally that I see at swap meets from time to time :D ) What can I say, I was a 16 year old girl in the late 80's!! Russell sold it to pay for our honeymoon. He promised he woundn't, but there was \"just one guy\" coming to see it. Ya, we all know where this goes. My 65 now lives on the Island. We see it from time to time at the shows.

the selling of beloved 65 meant that there would be PAYBACK from my new husband :wub:
so we bought this poor 55 stuffed full of parts as a project. Yeah, that was in '95.And for anyone that knows us well, you know this is still the same project we are working on. Although we are finally making bodywork progress this year.Been collecting parts for a decade, as it turned out that the car \"stuffed\" with parts was mostly full of parts for OTHER CARS/YEARS!!! This is the car that I brought seats home from a Belgium orthodontic convention for.

then there was the 67 Type I that became the Flintstones.I quit driving it when I lost a 1.5litre water bottle out of the hole in the floorboard :o

the 57 that I drive daily now B) .Left to go see it on a Friday night and drove it home from northern California Saturday/Sunday.Against poor stressed out husbands pleadings. what did I say about PAYBACK?

that rounds out my list.

for now ;)
