Wow, what an amazing journey. What really surprised me was how it was the mechanical failures that pushed you to the point of nearly giving up .. not the robberies, muggings, run-ins with crooked police, or nearly getting boxed in and rounded up and hunted down by local thugs. I think most of us would have given up .. or never even attempted such a feat.

Good luck to you in your continued journey, hope you make it!

Plan is to stick to the west coast as much as possible, although I would love to come into the States and get up to Colorado too but I think the cost of gasoline will have to start limiting my movements soon. Crying or Very sad

If any of you guys are part of a group of VW owners and/or know of any VW shows we should check out please let me know so I can factor it in. Can you imagine the North America Kombi Convoy, we have to do it and record it all for the future videos.

Figured I would raffle off my bus. Raise some money for charity and try and recoup the costs of all the rebuilds.

Tickets will be $1, details to be announced soon. If you are interested register your details here:

Any chance you can provide me with a link so I can get in touch with them, a search on the info you provided didn't return anything. Maybe they would be a good contact.

Will try- they just had a post here yesterday- might try search- think the meet is mid to end sept- which would give you plenty of time.- but Jerome is at the top of a mountain- so is kind of a vehicle test just to get there.

Found it-- Gary or Dave at 602-492-5287

Hey guys,

I decided rather than raffle off my Bus that I would give it to one of the people who has (or will) donate towards our project. Check out this video

I've started a campaign to help me get back to video editing and to make the Kombi Life channel even better. With any luck this should be a launching platform to help me produce better and more professional content for you guys.

If you like what I am doing please consider becoming my Patreon so I can get the equipment necessary to continue sharing the adventure.
