Itinerant Air-Cooled

And I have three great type 4s in the Seattle area.

Welcome, pictures? How long have you had them? I'm attracted to the type 4s but have to admit I'm a little intimidated by the lack of parts. What has been you experience?

I have some pictures here on my computer, but - how do you upload them to this site?

There is a pic loading feature when you post near the bottom of the page or use a direct link copied from a site like Photobucket.com. I use Photobucket and somehow my pic of your Type 4 got lost. Hmm, I'll have to go back into my old pics to reload it.

Do you remember which one it was?

AND I have some pictures on a Photobucket account, but I can't remember how to send them over here. I think I remember doing it for my shoptalkforums.com account but that was a few years ago.

Those are some beauties.

Beauties, indeed

Wow, those are nice!

Say Kirk, how did you get them?

Well it's a LONG story for each of them, but I will say that the yellow 411 I've had since 2001, the blue 412 since 2002, and the red 412 since 2005. I had another 411 and a 412 before these three, so five total since 1984. The red 412 is famous, at least in the small world of Type-4s!

I am jealous. Strangely, after 41 years, I just decided 15 seconds ago that I like the earlier front end.

I like the look of the 411 too - a bit "friendlier" than the shark-like nose of the 412. People have told me the 411 nose looks "Volvo-ish" while the 412 looks like a BMW ( minus a radiator!).
I don't know if people here knew of Julie Aleva and her famous red 412 wagon Sparkie?

The vegetarian 412 owner that passed in 2004, so you have her 412?
