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

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.

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.

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.

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  |

Nice parking job , Mark!
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. |
