Yes. You can follow my comedic efforts on the LEAKOIL websites.chitwnvw wrote:Sean, is one of those buses the splittie that you were restoring? Did you document the process online? I'd like to check it out.

Taken with a crappy cell camera, but here's the bus. I'm happy I had Colin drive it. As usual, he gave me a few insightful pointers. I think he actually enjoyed the non-synchronized first gear!

This is a piece of concrete my brother gave me from the WTC. He put a couple chunks in his pocket which he found blocks away from ground zero - a little piece of history to talk with my kids about. It's amazing how little it weighs.yondermtn wrote:They sold pieces of the Berlin Wall.

Sean, you've really done a super nice job with your bus. I'm drooling =D>

I can see it in a movie, all of us getting together years from now and reassembling The Road Warrior. It'll be a teary moment and we'll all remember The Itinerant and the steed that carried him through so many adventures...cut to montage.

Sean, thank you for your hospitality, as ever, top-drawer. Your bus definitely has spirit and will be even more spirited with a correct clutch adjustment, thanks for not mentioning how I missed my double-clutch into first gear pulling into the restaurant parking lot.
I wanted (badly) to collar you and rope you into a discussion of the current American landscape with our Constitutional Scholar President and the latest decisions of the Supreme Court, but we had more of a VW enthusiast gathering, didn't we?
Don, here's to 50
may we enjoy the exquisite freedom that comes with hard-won experience.

Sean your bus is gorgeous. Thank you for taking the time and energy to do it right! ![flower :flower:](./images/smilies/icon_flower.gif)
I remember seeing that bus as a work in progress a few years ago (two years ago if memory serves!) and it was already drool-inducing then.
PLUS we got to share food and drink with your lovely wife and son among good friends. Good times! *happysigh*
