Hello Laurianne,
Welcome, I have just been on here a couple months now. I usually use a Local Southern Ontario Canada Forum called the_bug_pack of southern Ontario.
I check out the Samba and some Facebook groups :)
I also have a 73 She was all painted up by PO we kept until now and are now doing the body and paint all new this year. can't wait. how long have you had your bus?

Many miles of smiles :)

We just got the Bus a little over 2 months ago ~ I used Samba ..actually our middle son told me about it, an' he got me to the site. I really looked for months to find something that was in pretty good condition ~ But even with that, we still had to drive over 4 hours to get the one out in the driveway. It's a '73 Type 2 ~ I absolutely love it!! An, yeah, I do get the occasional "Whoa! ~ Cool Bus!" ~ but for the most part, it's those Damn Hippy glares an' under the breath comments that rattle me. Hey, I AM an old hippy, so that's what is makin' me kinda starting to laugh about it all ~ ! ~ The biggest thing we gotta do is the paint job ~ All the mechanical is in totally great shape ~ The Husband just did a tune up on it over the weekend, an' now it sounds really good.

Hi there! Yes the weather up here has been amazing when it isn't raining. Its finally summertime up here as well! I posted an event on here for the High Country Bus Festival. You should check it out, maybe you would like to join in! :)
