I was sorting through my junk mail when this picture stared me in the face. There are several pictures of this beautiful orange Thing throughout the catalog. They sell t-shirts - even have a few bus t-shirts - but unfortunately no Thing shirts. _________________ 1963 Beetle

Cool picture, but why didn't they pull the doors from the passenger side |

Why doesn't the driver get off his ass and help her with the surf boards? |

What a odd setup if my eyes are right orange and blue seats and a orange top |

yes - it's odd - but looks very well executed. It also appears as if the top may be black on the inside and orange on the outside? _________________ 1963 Beetle

She's getting ready to pick one up and smack him in the head. _________________ Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Looks like it might have a Monza style four tip exhaust. If that style will fit... _________________ "Just $99 down and $64 a month for 36 months buys you a brand new Volkswagen Beetle!"

This Thing belongs to a guy named Marty who lives here on Oahu. He is a transplant from Vegas. I don't think he is an active member on the Samba site. I'll ask him next cruise night we have if he is on here. His Thing is really sweet, the pictures in the Crazy Shirts catalogue don't do it really do it much justice. |
