I've always heard it is bad, bad bus karma to change the name of a VW if you know the given name when received. Still not quite understanding the urgency to change RD's name. Mike named it RD. Good enough for me. If new name MUST be given, Bookwus is my vote too.Gypsie wrote:If you must change the name and if you are looking for feedback I vote "Bookwus"...

Re: This Will Not Do
busses earn their names, they are not simply assigned out of want.
let it claim it's own title in time.
Ive had my current bus for slightly over a year now and it has yet to lay claim on anything in particular.

Re: This Will Not Do
Glad to see this resolved amicably.
And Colin, as I stated in a previous PM, consider me a supremely interested party in taking that Squareback off your hands if you're looking to recoup some of the cost of Ruptured Duck (or whatever the old girl will be going by). :)

There will be a Cross-CountryTravel With TBRRD thread in the later fall. This car talks to me so hard, what a sweetheart!
Please Portlanders, if you need some appointments in the fall, let me know. I will need to finance fuel and road expenses and many repairs. Oregon72, again, thank-you for keeping the communication channels open.

Re: This Will Not Do
Safe travels,Colin - I remember Mike telling me years ago that he always wanted to get that bus to the way it was when it rolled off the line in Germany - a true stock enthusiast was he. It will be exciting for all of us to see you improve it's condition as time goes on. It is really nice to see it moving again.

Re: This Will Not Do
I can only dream that I will be as missed and Bertha so coveted after my demise. It is, however, a bit disconcerting to think that my care and maintenance of Bertha should come under such scrutiny. Warts and all.
