      Young again? I think age is just a number. It's your mindset that determines what you do 😉 We met one German guy in Colombia and again in Ecuador. He was in his 70's, travelling in a large classic German bus. He barely spoke Spanish, but he was living his best life ♥️ Our dream is to open a campground in South America when we are done, maybe you can come stay in our cabaña and we'll show you around a bit 😊

      Haha meat up... Love it 😂 It was really nice to meet more VW enthusiasts. Especially now our Spanish is good enough to spend a night speaking to people. We slwent to one in Colombia 2 years ago, but did spend the night with them all, mostly because we weren't confident in speaking to them. We camped near by and heard them part ALL NIGHT... Colombians love a good party 😂

      I try to envision taking my KLoUS on the adventures you’re on with each video. I am just not sure I have the same level of patience with the shadiness of mechanics that you have. I imagine the views and the experience more than make up for it. 🫡🚐

      @@ajisroadtrippin5505 I can get that. I am very fortunate to travel with Willow who's knowledge and mechanical talents mean we very rarely have to rely on others, otherwise we probably wouldn't have made it this far. These landscapes definitely make up for the bad times though.

      It was a bit odd. The worst thing was that they spoke Portuguese and not Spanish. Haven't felt that useless speaking g to people since we first entered Baja many moons ago. You realise that if we were with you, you would probably be breaking your motorhome a lot more as we drag you down dirt roads 😂

    No Brasil temos muitas kombis...e uma cultura delas. Temos um problema clássico que é as folgas na direção. Porém temos uma solução trocando o sistema por uma cremalheira monza (opel) e cardãs de direção. Melhora muito. Fica bem estável ao dirigir. Os kits são vendidos pela internet. Parabéns pelo tour e espero vê-los por aí.

      Olá amigo, estamos tão felizes que você nos encontrou. Em primeiro lugar, meu português é muito ruim e por isso estou usando um tradutor. Eu comecei as aulas embora. Estamos entusiasmados em testemunhar a cultura VW no Brasil, ouvimos muitas coisas boas sobre ela. Nosso maior problema é que nossa kombi é alemã e muitas das peças são diferentes. Sua solução parece interessante e com certeza vamos olhar para ela quando chegarmos. Esperamos encontrá-lo na estrada. Manter-me em contacto.

      We do have a date with destiny and this is when Ruby misbehaves the most. Will take more than some stripped spines to stop us though. From now on, I will stick to VWs and bicycles. Horses clearly aren't my thing, but I think I am ok with that 😂
