Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.


GOFUNDYOURSELF, quit asking everyone to do it for you!


An air cooled VW will make you a hoarder.


Do something, anything, to your project every day, and you will eventually complete it.

My '77 Beetle at the railroad station in the village of Piermont, New York. It's on the western side of the Hudson River, just south of the Tappan Zee (now the Governor Mario M. Cuomo) Bridge and the town of Nyack. The train station was a stop on the Erie Railroad, built in 1873 and closed in 1966. The tracks were removed in the late 20th century, the abandoned station restored, and the track bed is now a bike path. The dark blue "Western Union Telegragh & Cable Office" sign is ceramic and appears to be genuine. National Register of Historic Places. Photo taken late August 2020.

Driving back from the Connecticut VW Association meet in Westbrook, Connecticut this afternoon in my '77 Beetle, I wanted to stop at the BP gas station in Elmsford, Westchester Count; New York to photograph the Beetle with the large "Muffler Man"/ Paul Bunyan on site. The gas station is at the northwest corner of NY Rt 9A and the Cross-Westchester Expressway I-287. While waiting for the light to turn green from the off-ramp, I spotted my Ghia friend rbfara across the intersection in his fine L452 Paprika '60 Ghia Cabrio . I turned into the gas station, and rb was able to back up onto the property. He happened to be coming back from a FLAPS just up the street- a total coincidence that we were at the same light. We took some shots of our cars. More info about these statues: https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/37422

My '77 Beetle at the M4 Sherman tank displayed in front of the West Point Museum in Highland Falls, New York which is the village just south of the West Point Military Academy. October 17, 2020.

Wise guy good friend who is also very VW devoted (currently has 3 Ghias, split window Beetle; Speedster replica) remarked that I was about to start off on the drive under a full tank.

Parked up outside Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland UK in a Ghia my brother had rented for me for the day trip up the North East coast.

What a memorable day, it really did ramp up the Ghia search once I got home to Canada.

Warkworth this time.
