I'm really hoping to see some old VWs at bonnaroo! It just seems like the perfect place to see alot of them turn out. Anyone bringing one? Have pics?
I really wanted a vanagon for this trip(working on finding one for next year), and my 74 karmann ghia won't fit our bonna-gear, so we are taking the 2000 jetta.

I miss my old air cooled.
My first car was a fully custom 1968 Superbeetle with 2 semi horns and a musical horn that played Lowrider and 100 other songs. The guy who owned it was a dentist whose wife was making him sell it because she said it was too dangerous...she was a smart lady I suppose.
I loved that car but it caught fire 2 times while I was driving it and my steering wheel actually came off on the interstate. Not to mention it was INFESTED with Palmetto Bugs(pretty name for GIANT Florida cockroaches)
i have a '77 bus. its orange on bottom and cream on top, however it won't be making the trip down. as much as it belongs there, it would probably wind up beside the road somewhere due to the heat.
In '04 I got my tix off a messageboard and met the people at the Interstate here in M'boro. They were in a yellow VW bus, covered with decals and painted with all sorts of psychodelic designs. Realy cool vehicle.
In high school I worked for a restaurant and delivered pizzas in their VW bus with a stereotypical Italian guy tossing a pizza painted on the side.

Just restored my '76 microbus and will be making the drive down. White on top, reef blue on bottom.
And, um, not to be a snob or anything, but it's VolkswagEns.
Here's a pic from the day I got it back-- my dad fixed it up and gave it to me as a wedding present (it had sat in his driveway for almost five years after I had blown a rod). I've had the bus for ten years now and it has been across the country several times, but I haven't taken a real road trip in it since Big Cypress. . . So it will be nice to have it back on the road.

Karma to you! I actually asked my girlfriend how I should spell it, I know how it is spelled, but I also know most people would look at it funny if it was spelled right. Sad I know.

Keeping The 74 VW Thing at home in the cool air of the Rocky Mountains. First car 67 Ghia and I've had almost every other style over the years. Will post photo later.
Actually I sold the red one a while back and only have the black one. Its a 60 euro, all orig, been in my family since new. It has semaphores, orig 36hp engine and trans.
It would take a bundle to make me part with that one.

Dude, I seriously can't concentrate on anything but bonnaroo right now. . .It's to the point where I'm poking myself in the eye with foreign objects. . . I think I just need to be sedated until Tuesday. . . . Dystopian Dream

first off i LOVE VW's, my first car was an 86 Fox, and then i got a rabbit, and then a 2001 jetta
I have been around VW's my whole life as my father religiously restores them, he has quite the collection, i dont have pics ATM but ill try and get them tomorrow afternoon, my dads collection is quite impressive, i dont know the exact years but he has:
an official "micro" bus, it is a sixty-somethin bus with the 2 middle doors chopped off and then put back together, pops wheelies like crazy
a two-toned 57 beetle that is completely original
a sixty-something super beetle that has been put on an CJ Jeep frame and has a chevy 350 in the front
and one of the current projects is the seventy-something karman ghia on airbags, its gonna be sweet
I'm so glad to find that someone else has a passion for VWs, has anyone ever been to any big VW shows? like BugOut in Manassas VA?
I've grown up with my father always restoring or working on one, and right across the street from our house was Perry Mull's VW farm. He had 2 acres of VWs waiting for resurrection. That made it really easy to get parts and pick out a new one to work on at a whim. I have a 69 Ghia waiting on me back there.
I really want a vanagon for restoration and another one to turn into the ninja turtles van. Always been a dream of mine.

I'm in SC and want a bug or a bus(bus has to be a 60s to early 70s model), if anyone knows where I can get one in the southeast in decent condition for a decent price, please let me know. If you have pics, post them. If you have a phone number, private message it to me. Thanks!
