Default OT- Our heritage...Miami VW Show.

The Miami Volksblast yesterday was really a blast...tons of great aircooled little beasts...I personally love the ones from the 50s and 60s...

Very cool!

My first five cars we VW's (two Beetles, both painted with 1x1 ft black & white checkered flag pattern, 70's bus with surfboards etc and two LT28 big vans for hauling dirt bikes, sleep in etc.)

I am also an early VW fanatic.
If I would have known this was going on, I would have
met you there! Maybe next time.
