| 11/05/02 | Tim | Thanks Guys!and as for you Atlas. Alaska is one of the 50 States but everything is shipped air freight here....Wake Up! |
| 09/24/02 | superbus | Man what a score in Alaska!! Good deal for you Tim, hope to see pic's later on through the resto-process. Good luck! |
| 09/24/02 | GOD | SON, WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT BEING IN MY LIKENESS. FORGIVNESS, LOVE, IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. AND LEAVE A GOOD CHRISTIAN LIKE DICK OUT OF THIS. |
| 09/24/02 | Jesus | Atlas, I think we all knew what he meant. Can the (penis expletive) on your head be verified?
nice catch Tim! |
| 09/23/02 | Atlas (get one) | Last time I checked Alaska was still part of the United States. But I've also heard they have some Island out in the Ocean. Can this be verified? |
| 09/16/02 | Tim | yep, ecspecially since I am in Alaska and have to order everything from the states and shipping is exspensive as hell!!! |
| 09/13/02 | 1500 bucks, that will be peanuts by the time you have finished | |
| 09/12/02 | Tim | LOL...looks like I'm standing next to something I killed on a Hunt, huh!...lol... |
| 09/11/02 | Conrad | Remind me never to stand like that next to my bus. Maybe it was the ride down that gravel road rutted by logging trucks? ;-) Congrats on the excellent find! |

| 11/06/02 | dubpunk | nice bus, that would get me laid for sure! |
| 11/04/02 | nate | that is without a doubt the straightest van i have ever seen......not a ripple anywhere.....just awesome dude, well done. |
| 10/25/02 | Chris Boyne | Hey Mav what is the name of the paint on the upper half of the bus? It is really beautiful- nice change from the norm. |
| 10/24/02 | Dom | Killer wheels, and finally safe brakes ! not too sure on the colour though, oh well! nice bus anyways |
| 09/24/02 | Mav | Sorry Mike, this bus isn't for sale. I have just fitted a Eberspacher heater, so it is all ready for the winter.
Thanks for the offer of the motel, I'd rather sleep in my bus! Besides UK to USA to sleep in a $20 room, no thanks. |
| 09/19/02 | Mike | Are you selling it? I'd be glad to buy it! I'm looking for one of that exact model. |
| 09/15/02 | rob dog | NICE STABBING CABIN!! ONE HELL OF A JOB,BET YA HAVE SOMETHING FOR GTA'S.FUCK A HATER!! |
| 09/11/02 | Tom Bodette | We have double beds here at the motel 6 for $19.95 and we got room to park that shitbox. Come on in, we'll leave the light on for ya |
| 09/11/02 | Mav | Cheers for the positive comments, for info it ran a 16.9 at Santa Pod, beating a Mk1 Golf GTi:-)
PS: You can't sleep in a double bed in a 914. |
| 09/11/02 | Spengdog | If you're going to steal it, you've got to catch it first, and if you want to catch it, you better drive something way quick! |
| 09/10/02 | im gonna steal it so go fuck | |
| 09/07/02 | Sid Vicious | Volksworld sucks as well. |
| 09/06/02 | Spengdog | Very, very, nice. Love it! |
| 09/05/02 | Julian dalton | nice one Mav. Read your article in volkksworld today, well impressed. just hope you do not blow those safaris through with that motor!!! |
| 09/05/02 | Dando Fredo | Good work my friend........

| 06/02/07 | bob | Middle bench seat for sale, 1972 VW Bus. $70.00 |
| 12/18/02 | Kevin | speaking of church going, my dad was telling me a story of when he took us to church in our 67 beetle, two kids in the luggage compartment, four in the back seat, dad in the driver seat, and mom holding one on her lap, she wasn't too happy about it, but my dad says you have to keep a sense of humor or life will get too rough. |
| 12/18/02 | jaw | The VW Type 2 has always been in transition (like the Ford Mustang) and sometimes change is good and sometimes change is bad. The author of the CNN article tells the same old VW var story we all do....this is rusty....that didn't work--exactly what good memories are made of! |
| 09/05/02 | ED | The new beetle worked because of the design. The new bus will not work in my opinion because it's just another mini-van (yes a VAN) with a roller coaster marketing ploy behind it. Drastically change the design and It may spark my interest! |
| 09/05/02 | Julian dalton | concept car for the old hippies??? Really, If they are still hippies then they are still on there arse, stoned and cannot afford a new vehicle, which is why they adopted 2nd hand wrecked busses in the first place |
| 09/05/02 | Roy | the picture would have been cool if you hadnt put that big stupid comment under it. youre sister is hot |
| 08/28/02 | the concept VAN is a piece crap,at least they could put in a split window in it, That's what everyone wants A SPLIT WINDOW BUS!!! | |
| 08/27/02 | Sid Vicious | Sounds like your "brother" really took care of things. I bet it would have been a lot easier and cheaper for your brother to go down to the dealer and get a correct sunroof cover. The way your family took care of that bus probably put it in the junkyard. |
| 08/27/02 | buc | i just think that it needs to look more like an old bus and that the price will wind up being enormous. also, good luck trying to work on it in your own garage. this ain't no simple air cooled vw, that's for sure. let's see what develops! |
| 08/27/02 | Ian Stuart | "Groovy" is just the reason I don't want it coming back. Its just a way for VW to get some money out of the old hippies by tricking them into thinking there is some sort of similarity between NEW vans, (despite the title of the vehicle they will never be buses) and old buses. If a new VAN driver waves at me in an attempt of camaraderie Ill flip him the bird. |
