1960 Micro Deluxe, 9.9sec in the quarter mile, lots to admire... the second time I've shown you this bus

I didn't get a good pic of the engine the last time, nor did I notice the Moon accelerator pedal.

June 2 Balboa Car Museum show, Balboa Park

Unusual transport trucking and hauling, hauling VW micro busses, and a VW Kombi hauling a Porsche 550 Spyder

this is what happens when a VW motor gets replaced and there are no VW replacement motors, no VW parts of any kind

Ugly ain't it? But it keeps them on the road

With appreciation to Romano for giving me a quick education on VW's and how rare and appreciated they are in Pakistan, that even in this condition (see the missing tire? ) they are still sought out to be restored!

Good advertising

Never seen a VW microbus with this custom cab look before

Not too far gone to save, because in Pakistan, there are only about a dozen VW Kombis / microbus remaining in the 6th largest country in the world.

From what I recall of my talk to Romano, the VW's were never built in Pakistan, and never imported as a car dealership item for sale, they only came into the country when Churches brought them in to use as kids school buses. So very very few ever came into the country. When there is no dealerships with parts to use for repairs, they don't last long, and never as long as you'd expect. Once a motor has a major problem, that's it, and the motors get replaced with modern easy to find diesel engines. If I have any of my info wrong, please correct me so no one gets misinformed!

If you've seen the Red Bull mini trucks advertising, then these shouldn't be much of a surprise. Cool, but not the first to drive around advertising

"Bling Bug" the Mid America Motorworks custom VW

The things that caught my eye at Wavecrest 2010 (biggest woody car show on the Pacific coast)

I saw the multicolored background and shifted focus as interesting as photo composition and contrast

great hood prop idea, only for a woody

That is a whole lotta car

The clean and shiny paint on the dash in contrast to the chrome make a good impression

That is some beautiful chrome on the above hood ornament

I've never noticed the Plymouth ship design on a taillight before

I don't recall seeing a VW woody before... this one looks cool!

Beautiful multicolor flames

A new and unusual way to pattern the wood on the sides and back
