I was looking through some old photos and found this one of an old friend. I have always been a big fan of air cooled VW’s. It was back in the late 80s early 90s when I own this 67 VW Bus we use to haul all the radio control cars, trucks and equipment to race tracks all over California. My wife, our two oldest their friends and I would head out every weekend to at least one race. It was a good thing that I worked at a hobby shop at the time. LOL The original photo was taken with a Minolta X-700 with a 50mm lens at F/8 Hope you like it. Sheldon

Art is an expression - not to be judged by those without expression or feeling.

You are an old hippie for sure Sheldon. :) I remember these vehicles from the day. A good post and I was living in California in 1967. It was Riverside and in the late 60's the Zodiac Killer was terrorizing Southern California. Nice post.

Hey Sheldon someone had to test all those radio controlled vehicles for quality purposes.
Thanks for sharing your memories. Nice shot.

In order to discover who you are, first learn who everybody else is; you're what's left.

Oh I had one of these once, and it was a pretty pale bloo. So comfy. In fact, I drove it all the way up here from Louisiana to ORegon. Literally the Oregon Trail. I love old cars so much, they have got character, not like the "now" disposable cars!
Thanx for taking me back to memory lane. Verena

I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.
