Go for it. I will not be making one, but with a little tidying, you have my express permission to go get it done.

(I do need magnets and business cards, but sheesh, it feels so quiet around here and I am quite late to the Huckster Party)
Hurry! Get yours, TODAY,

I will place my sticker order ASAP.

Since my bus is safely stored off site, I have not been focused on its maintenance and upkeep. And thus, have not been checking in here in IAC land. Heck, I’m just tying to stay warm as a result of the recent invasion of the Polar Vortex.

I am fairly new here and have had the privilege of just one Colin visit so far - but ...I appreciate this site because of the quality and clarity of instruction. I appreciate the honesty and ‘getting to the heart of the matter’ as I learn from all of you here.

I’m looking forward to warmer weather and getting the bus out of storage and back on the road. AND I’m looking forward to my second IAC visit with Colin in 2019. And Colin, I can’t wait to show you the dulcet tones of my NOS muffler since you were last here.

Best to All,

Jeff in (frozen) Rochester
Late 73 Bay w/a transplanted 914 Engine.

Colin, the latest rendition of your decal might be something I would consider. For the artistry and amazing use of colors of course. We can discuss when we get together in Flagler Beach, which we need schedule. I plan on being back down their in March and April, got back to Delhi yesterday, -17 F last night, currently -13 F, no wind chill considered.

There is going to be a gaggle of stickers when all is said and done.
Could you bear an orange late model Westy sticker?
A beetle sedan?
A handsome correct-for-your-model-year timing scale?
Your bus is supposed to have the white scale with black lettering.

We . . . . don't do ............ -13* We don't. We only huddle at the wood stove with hot chocolate.

Oh, and it was 63* today.
Bbbrrrrrrrrr……

I would pay GOOD money for full size scans of The Book artwork… You keep teasing us with these facebook uploads, which after upload/viewing compression look like I need glasses. But I know that's not the case…

Meager donation sent, and two non-members sent to the Itinerant-Air-Cooled web store for timing scales. :thumbleft:

Jeff! 63* on February 4th in Rochester??
Yup - and just a few days prior, it was -3*. We've returned to reality and it's now back in the mid teens.
For a fleeting moment, I had visions of getting the bus out of storage.

Robbie, I agree - I would be interested in Colin's artwork (along with his writings) in a published format. It would be an upgrade in the collection of VW-associated literature. Colin, I have expressed this sentiment to you in the past.

On a serious note, I am continuously disappointed with Facebook, when I see beautiful artwork and click them, only to be disappointed by pixillated nonsense. Even the photobucket "full screen" images aren't anything like the originals I've seen.

Jeff, we had 55 in Catskills, just warm enough to hang maple sap buckets and begin the boiling process. Amazing weather, ups and downs, similar to owning a VW, or in some cases multiple VWs.

We are halfway to paying our annual hosting fee of $165.00 due April 1st,

Thank-you to those who have thus far made donations to the cause!

Where is the super premium price to have a specialized bumper sticker of one's own VDub? Inquiring minds want to know. :)

Not happening. I will do a green Westy, an orange Westy and a Beige Westy.
Who knew retail was such a pain in the neck?

Sure, I combined two separate threads, and the head thread of post two became a middle of the pack thread based on timestamp. Thank you for your donation!
