We went and bought us a 1978 Volkswagen Type 2 Van (also known as a Hippie Bus) – oh yes we did! Check her out! As if I needed another project – as if Hubby needed another project! We got her mostly to get us back and forth to the Farmer’s Market (just call her the Harvest Hauler!) – so we wouldn’t have to tie up the Honda… of course it will be a while before she’s useable for that – probably next year at least. Hubby’s thinking this is a 3 year project depending on what needs done. The engine is good – got it to turn over but the fuel pump is bad (we think) so it won’t stay lit. I’ll keep you posted on the progress. Now she just needs a name…

Hmmmm, I’ll have to think on this one; all that comes to mind is random junk

C’mon Chick – you can do better than that! This thing just screams for a kitchy callsign! The Tomato Toter – The Carrot Coraler – The Pepper Patrol!
Glad to hear from you!
