I thought i'd post a couple of pics and a short video of my 16 year old daughter arriving at her high school prom. We thought 'what is cooler than an old vw truck' Answer? Storm Troopers. So here we are, Amy and Sam arriving on the back of my 72 double cab, escorted by a Storm Trooper from the 501st Garrison of the Imperial Army, to a back drop of the Imperial March.
BTW - she won the 'Best Arrival' prize, somehow beating the kid who arrived ina helicopter?
Sam and Amy quaffing champagne. They're sat on a spare microbus seat I had.
The trooper
The race truck
I had to get in on a couple of photos, I never give up the chance of having a selfie with a Storm Trooper
The happy couple enjoying the taste of champagne...
the video

Right on!!
a gopro tip... use the 24fps or higher - in daytime 60fps is perfect... in the video it is choppy... look like you used 15fps? _________________ 1967 VW Bus walk-thru 21 window deluxe

My goal is to have my '71 Doublecab ready for my youngest daughter's prom in 2020. My oldest should graduate in 2018 but there is no way it will be done by then unless Chip Foose steps in and overhauls it. Lol. _________________ 1985 Diesel Jetta Coupe (temporarily retired at

VWs are great prom/Ball cars the kids, families and community love them.
