I have seen pics of that bus everywhere on this site! Is there a thread for it? I would LOVE to see the ins and outs of such an awsome bus!
I never met Bill or his wife, Janet, as I live in ontario, canada... but it is sad when vw folks pass on. I know, vw or not, people passing is sad, but true vw folks are a rare breed!
Rest in peace Bill, and my condolences to you Janet. |
