VW-ORAMA! VW-ORMAMA! VW-ORAMA!

 

WELL, THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT OF BUYING A CAR, THE ONLY  THING 
I WANTED WAS A VW.
  I MANAGED TO CONVINCE MY PARENTS THAT IT WAS : SECURE
RELIABLE, AND PROBLEM FREE...(I'M SUCH A GOOD LIAR YOU
WOULDN'T BELIEVE)... ANYWAY,  2 WEEKS LATER  I WAS THE PROUD
OWNER OF MY FIRST TYPE 2.  SINCE THEN I  ALWAYS HAD VW
BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ANYTHING BETTER THAN CRUISIN'
OUTSIDE THE CITIES IN THE COUNTRYSIDE A
SUNDAY AFTERNOON ON BOARD OF A GOOD
OLD GROOVY SPLIT WINDOW BUS.
THEY'RE SO FRESH!


 

 

The good thing about buying a vintage VW is that it's allways a surprise package.  Good and bad ones...

GALLERIE
   From my latest, to my first one...  

 

My latest was a 1962 pick up single cab...

     ...but before it looks like that....

.... I had to go through THIS!!...

 

                                                                                                                                                                       

 

 

              But not with this one (1967deluxe)

    I bought this 1965 in perfect condition, with a new                                   engine for 1800$!!


         ...Usually I always get screwed...

 

 

 

I used to bring her to meet some other  friends  in Washington state, so she wouldn't feel to lonely among all these new cars....

  San Diego P.D
  ...Got busted driving 150 on the highway...

Yeah right...

 

 

 

 

This 1965 was not a good deal AT ALL!!!  I totally got SCREWED! (Rust free thought)


It was hell of a work to restore this 1954 oval...


one year full time to give her life again...

 

 

 

 

...But then she felt much better...

Except that I look stupid on this picture
+ I had short hair!...


And Here it is!  My first VW! I was 17. Nice orange overall  hu? Matching the paint...Soon after I was drafted toVietnam =)...

  


 

 


But despite all the time I got stuck in the middle of nowhere with a burned engine or a fucked up gearbox,  there is no way  that I would buy a new car, because new cars suck. It's too good to drive a groovy vehicle that is 40 years old and to imagine all the stories behind it.  And all the hot stories too!!
