So I’m out in Langley, visiting my friend Chris. He has a bunch of parts that I was picking up.. some funky green metal and a deck lid for the oval.. Anyway it was my first chance tro see his new garage. Wow! Talk about a 2 car garage. Chris has a lot of VWs in there as well as a brand new lift. So as I’m looking at the mango kombi and his 56’ hardtop beetle I notice 1 of the 3 pick-ups he has. Not the green 57’, I was bugging him to sell it to me, but the original paint 66’ single cab. It looks pretty good. Great gates, minimal rust.. a little around the back apron, some seam surface rust and a little in the treasure chest, but otherwise pretty nice. It needs a motor rebuilt and rear bumper as well as new rear arches on both sides, but other than that it is close. Anyway, we shook hands on a deal, so it looks like I’ve just bought a single cab.

If by any chance my wife is reading this.. just ignore the last paragraph :)

I was in Langley today picking up some funky green metal for my bus and a new W deck lid, while I was getting gas Russ pulled up in his 1914cc 1962 beetle. Nice!

Here a still shot or Russ’ car. Pretty nice.

Hey, so I found some cool examples of these British Commers. Very similar to the VW bus.. er, well except they are British. I’m not a fan of British cars anymore, but these are pretty neat looking. Notice the pop-top camper version. Just like the VW version. Check the cool door on the side of the white one. The cool green one was plucked from SlammedSixty.

Here is a few more shots from our summer camping trip. It may not look hot but it was really hot. 32 degrees most days. Luckily there was a nice cool lake where we were staying.

Here is a shot of an old shack near where we were camping. I wanted to park beside the building with the nose of my bus just poking out but there were lots of no trespassing signs on the property and what looked like a graveyard nearby, so I snapped this quick one and kept driving.

We took the bus camping this past weekend. The weather wasn’t exactly summer like, in fact it rained for most of the time and was kind of cloudy. We went to a place between Stave Lake and Hatzic Lake which is East of Vancouver by about 2 hours or so. Anyway, we had some hot dogs.. froze at night and drank really strong coffee.

Here is a shot of my new NOS WEGU “Chevron” mudflaps. I was told that the 3 stripe version is for the type 2 and the 2 stripe is meant for a type 1. I guess that makes sense.. although my bus currently is sporting the wide 2 stripe version.. $%&*#$

I also apologize for the crap photo.. I need to find my actual camera and nix the cell phone camera.

Oh Shit! Check out this schwimmwagen. Unfortunately this one really went swimming.
