Looking at Greenville SC now..., FL, USA
Car: Pepe
Default Heres my 70 bus, Benny!

He was given to me by one of my best friends. The girl with the red hair in the pics and her husband. Coolest people on earth! Benny was sitting in her driveway for 3 years not running in South Carolina. We spent a week getting him running and redoing the brakes so I could drive him back to CT. We were supposed to go to TDI Fest but on Thursday when we went to adjust the valves and found the intake valve on #1 stuck in. We had to pull out the engine and I changed him to a dual port and he made it all the way home and he runs awesome now. I plan on stealing a Westy interior and turning him into a camper. I cant wait.

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.

My second VW was a 70 van.

It had 3 bench seats and sat 9, wish I still had it, was a pretty handy vehicle, and great for vacations. (if your not in a hurry)

nice pictures
