I was visiting my parents in Sarasota a couple of weeks ago and spotted not one but two VW things with surrey tops being used for a free taxi service. Fee for a ride is tip only. I found a web site for the company but it does not talk about their use of VW Things. Their web site is http://www.surfsidefreeridesiestakey.com/

I spook to the owner a couple of months ago and he said he had 22 Things in his business that he runs everyday.

C'mon...22 Things ? Hard to believe! Would probably make him the biggest private collector of these fine cars.

Shocked

Somehow this reminds me of the schemes on getting a small fortune where Step One is starting with a large fortune.

Very cool at any rate ...
