Don't let the join date or the post count fool you, I may be new to the site but I am definitely not new to ACVW's.

I prefer the T1 but have worked on just about every model over the last 30+ years and owned probably half of them.

Spent a good number of years making my living with them but now its just an expensive hobby.

That's quite the collection I'm partial to Ghias

I have owned hundreds of ACVWs over the years but the most that I have owned at one time was twelve and not all of them were drive-able.
Like I said before, mostly type1 but every once in a while I come up with something different. The one thing... that I regret never getting my hands on is a schwimmwagen.

It was a job that turned into a hobby that became an obsession... and eventually a hobby again.

I could spend all morning uploading photos but then I would not be in the shop...

Sounds like you have a passion for your now hobby again - everyone should have one! I imagine finding the schwimmwagen is next to impossible or probably quite expensive.

You can blame AG Jeff for me ending up here actually.

great - I figured that out after I saw you post on OF a few minutes ago. I was recently tasked here myself

 

[cannonfoddertfc]

There we were, minding our own business and bam... VS gets you.
I ended up over at offroad.com probably the same way you ended up here but its all good. I like the topics and dont mind putting in a few minutes to clean up as needed.

 

[admin]

Yep - exactly the same here

I know Pete by name only, never got to meet the man. About 10 years ago, I knew just about everybody that was in that scene on that side of the state.
