here is curlies (newest) acquisition: a baywindow, or as they say it now, with the new word: FAT CHICK from 1970.
 
it is a deluxe version and might be the sole survivor in that color combination.
 
what do we want him to do to this bus ? i first tought of a black paintjob and some polished (not completely) berms, but then i heard it was a frikkin’ rare color …
 
so i would go for the kobus touch: DUMP IT and get some fuchs wheels for it !
 
btw, he told me he bought it from a schnapps manufacturer, and that tthe van still smells schnapps…..

who likes the movie “The Big Lebowski” ?
 
i really dig the “dude” Lebowski

this is the cover of the book that Thierry Dubois wrote about the N7.
 

period picture: two beetles driving down the famous route N7 at Livron.
 
(N7 is like route 66 in France, connecting Paris with Menton in the South, and even going further to Milan, Italy)
 
picture credit : Thierry Dubois (order his (french) book full of period pictures, with sadly only two vw on www.nationale7.org )

if you guys over there in the north would be able to buy the latest “boxertje” (the ruling dutch aircooled magasine, by and for all aircooled vw and porsche lovers) you would be truly amazed: i wrote an article about all the strange things i saw in norway.
 
😉
 
i am gonna ‘picture’ it today (scanner is broke) and will try to get it virtually at your mailbox. othrewise order your copies at http://www.aircooled-passion.com/products.asp?catid=2 (its in that 1303 special that you norvegian guys are featured

here is is, the money shot.
 
the last pic of my beloved beetle when i left him at the volkswagen garage. it didn’t do me any good, leaving him there, all alone, in the cold air… i must admit, i had it very difficult not to cry and weep like a litle baby. it was more pain and grief than a white boy can manage.
 
i promised him it would be all okay, and that the new owner would take care of him.
i got his old wheels back on it, and raised it to original spec.
 
and i drove home with a new car: the same model, same color, but in cabrio.
