    Wow I love how these old VWs just need a good dizzy &carb, fresh battery and a nice squirt of gas and that's it... they'll run like a champ.

    New subscriber here and enjoying binging while I lay on the couch with sinus and ear infections so 👍🏻for helping me thru. Like chicken soup but oily.
    I always have a remote start button on my air cooled VWs, usually next to the engine. I haven't seen one on your vehicles. I'm guessing I've probably missed it somehow. One of the best things to have IMHO. Keep up the good work and hope to see y'all out there somewhere.

    what are the odds you guys want to do a trip to Newfoundland, be able to film some awesome footage, and take a look at my 1972 VW westfalia that hasn't been started in 15 years? was parked to paint, ran perfect, but it never ended up getting painted and it stayed in the garage all those years.
    Accommodations at my 5 star air&b can be discussed, as well as kayak and canoe access and some other fun experience options?
    That is; if you don't have a spring/ summer trip figured out yet.
    Think on it!-Hope

    May I ask what what ya guys got for this 71 deluxe? I've got a 72 tin top that I picked up in 96 and put minimal $$ into her to be a decent bus for work, and it's became one of our daily drivers. I paid $160 and traded a $40 sack of something to a guy. Parked her in 2005 and I'm getting ready to move from Vegas to Pennsylvania and planned on having her trucked back. Is it worth the cost in your opinions? The sentimental value far exceeds the actual price, I'm sure. But it has no rust, all original windows (except windshield) original chrome strips, some bondo in the nose and slider. I just wish she were 1 year older at the very least. Dang type IV engine and ugliness taillights. But like one of your kids, not perfect or possibly expected, but she's mine and I love her.
