I’ve ridden in a few VWs in my time. Had a room mate that thought it was good fun to tap the brakes and watch my nose
touch the flat glass on the windshield. But, that Bug in the photo is only good for toy metal. I wonder what is left on the drivers side door…doesn’t look too pretty. It ain’t Dean Jones.
I had a very close look at this. It’s actually a pile of clothes or other rubbish. There’s similar stacked nearby. It’s not a body, as far as I could tell.
Naturally if someone tells me otherwise I’ll take it down.

You may as well call this series, ‘diorama bait for David’.
Evocative and thought provoking in equal measures.

That VW reminds me of that Bonnie & Clyde thing. 🙁

I was going to say the same thing, Craig. Hellofanendtoamovie.

The guys on Wheeler Dealers could restore the VW. Think that tank destroyer made it across that log bridge? #4

Yes, think so. Short runway though….

It looks like Valletta, Rob.

I like the bird having a drink.
The guys working on the tanks reminded me of my youth. Weekends were often spent doing field service on bulldozers.

If that VW still existed it would be worth a fortune as is. What a horrendous time in history.
