Fabs those B&W photos of your car are awsome.

You know, if you look at that pic of Jim's car and squint just right, the chrome trim disappears.  :D

That's because it's a '67 and has that skinny trim.....LOL!

[stirring the pot]Daily driver cars? I'm sure most people don't drive their Cal Look VWs as daily drivers. Which is no biggie, but shouldn't this be in Off Topic?[/stirring the pot]

 ;D

Y'all don't wanna see my daily drivers... just a beige Volvo estate and a silver BMW 320i.

Except for a 66 Nova Wagon I had for a little while I have driven nothing but air cooled VW`s daily for the past 23 years. Until recently my daily driver was a69 Fastback. But since it got totaled I have been driving Lukes 66 Fastback (Thanks Luke) and am looking for another VW to drive.

I drive my 67, 8 days a week, 11,000 miles since I got it a year and a half ago. Rain, sleet or snow it has to get me to work.

It should not be a problem for a moderator to merge them into one.

As for daily drivers, this is mine during summer:

and winter:
(http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/940/garagegallery1041196002yj0.jpg)
and spring (really):

The engine is stock at the moment, but this should change within a month or two.
I used to drive another Bug as a daily driver before that one. I plan to stick to air cooled VW's as e mean of transportation as long as possible. For now, I can see no problem with that.

Bruce, What you don't mention is how hard you drive it and the length of some of your trips!


Title: Re: daily driver let see yours
Post by: Bruce on April 18, 2008, 07:21:54 am
Hi Bill!
That pic was taken in Mazatlan Mexico, 2 days after a fresh respray.  15 years and 200+k were taking a toll on the paint, so I had it painted there.  I tried to count, but can't remember how many times I've driven it deep into Mex (7-8 times?), each trip varies between 10k and 15k km.  For you guys in Europe, it is the equivalent to driving from the northern tip of Norway to Gibraltar.

Post by: axam48ida on April 20, 2008, 18:33:21 pm
My daily driver covers 260-275 miles a day. I drive it to work everyday regardless of weather
and gas prices. current motor is a 1679 (69x88) and it's getting tried. It sees rain, snow and up over a
100 degrees in the summer months.  It the 63 is down for what ever reason, I may drive the 56 or 67 to work.


Title: Re: daily driver let see yours
Post by: mg on April 22, 2008, 15:44:44 pm
With the price of gas you can afford to drive daily? ;)
For a daily driver had to have AC with the air cooled engine.

I would almost die to have an aircooled daily car.  Sadly the salt in this part of the counrty dissolves old cars in short order.  If I could spend the time and money on one, I'd try stripping a body and pan to bare, and having it galvanized.

I love qubek's car in winter mode.  One of my favorite "non-cal" things is stock 2-tone wheels.

Post by: Black Sheep on April 22, 2008, 22:35:56 pm
Wish I could do the daily in an air cooled Like I used to  ::) but needs must for a bigger ( but not better ) so my needs have to be met by my Vito van  ???
I do still dream about a early type two to handle the day to day chores though    ::) 8)

Hey thehanz still have some shabby pictures on my mobile from a few weeks ago on the motorway near Zwijndrecht.

Goodluck with your other project ;)

John, the car is in motion, in this shot. That' my younger son, Noah, driving and I'm following him on my skateboard. My camera settings were set too fast and it makes the car look static/parked.
