...Ed. Title: Re: Bill Schwimmer in Japan Post by: Bill Schwimmer on December 15, 2012, 06:58:14 am Words cannot describe what a great time my Family & I had. Shige & the Mooneyes crew put on an absolute first class event. It was a little interesting to have that much attention, but everybody was very nice & friendly & it was great talking to people. It was awesome blasting my car thru the streets of Yokohama, what a beautiful city. The VW's were great, lots of different takes on things, the Hot Rods too. Many many cool bikes also. The Baywindow wasn't mine, but it had some of my old parts on it. It was also my VW pick for the event. Anytime you have 48's & a magneto on a super clean Baywindow that is pretty awesome in my book. Thanks for the photos Dean, I was pretty scared in the 1st one, but it all worked out. Bill
