Wed Mar 14, 2012 4:39 am

At the end of 80 years I saw in my city a self-confident T1 Split.
They were years in which little were seen some, but someone anchor to the job was!
I memorized the plate and as soon as returned to house I wrote it on a paper sheet.
It remained in a drawer, with many other notes VW, for approximately 8-10 years.
Then I have characterized the owner from the plate number and I went it to find.
He live in a small country near my city.
The owner was a baker and he said to me that the Split was by now firm, parked in campaign.
I greeted it and I promised to it that a day I would be returned in order to go to see the Split.

A day after the other and to pass to others 10-12 years! :oops:
I am a person who ago the things with calm!

To April 2011 I returned by now from the owner (today in pension) and we went to see the Split. It was a beautiful trip, in spite of the rain.
The first "green" photo that you see is relative own to this first “drawn closer encounter”.

We greeted ourselves with the promise that I would have returned; but this time I knew very well that I would be returned time little after. :lol:

To this point I am decided to share this my recovery with my friend Paolo.
I have known Paolo on an Italian forum of VW. Paolo lives in my same city.
The Split will be our first plan VW.

To the end of June I and Paolo went to see the Split and we decided to take it.
To July the Split was ours! 8)

The video that I have prepared, refers just to the recovery operations.
It has been an afternoon loaded with emotions, sweat ...and much satisfaction.
I hope that the video can succeed to transmit to you also some the emotional force of that intense afternoon.

Good vision… and a council: looked also the end credits.

…. I forgot! We have christened it with the name “Spiga” (Ear); looking the video you will understand because.

I am creating a version with free music.

I don't succeed in finding a website of free music for my video (without copyright).

Suggestions?

Otherwise I must recreate the video without music, but I don't like without music.

Thanks!!

..if you help me, I post another photo of the archaeological site :lol:
...….a panoramic photo! :wink:

Update is needed on thread for bus information.
What work is being done on old crusty buses. Videos not necessary.
Extra points for Chinese subtitles.
