Default Got my kicks on Route 66

I am back from a trip from Tampa, Florida to Effingham, Illinois. Then across the USA to sunny southern California and back home. All inside a 67 VW Bus. We few times but we got the thing going every time. We were not towed a single inch during the whole trip. They were little problems with rocker clips being broken, a leaky hose, a drum being work out and a spark plug being shot out. All in all small stuff. And I am home.
Thanks to MidAmerica Motorworks for the spares and a great show at Effingham, Illinois.
Empi for being a great company! Love you guys!
Lenny and Rafael from West Coast Classic Restorations.
Gene Berg Enterprises for the great fun at their rally.
The Dollar Store along the way where I dropped a check and they helped me get it back.
Gilmour Enterprises for their AC. I rode compfortable even in the Mohave desert.
It can be done. Now you go!

You came to Cali and didn't say hi to us...

Glad you had a safe trip!

I went to Riverside/Irvine/Anaheim/Orange/Fullerton Area. I am posting pictures as fast at this dial up connection allows. I will post a link to it when I get them up there.
This picture was taken with a cheap digital I bought at a gas station.

I managed to add so many pictures the album had to be cut in half. Here is the first part there are a ton of vws in it and a many scenery pics. If the hood of the bus it is cooling or it is being fixed. I took a picture or more everytime the decklid went up. http://s195.photobucket.com/albums/z...agenWest%2007/
