We bid farewell to our precious "Pearl" last year: a white 1970 hard-top Westy, now with a new family. She was a a lot of fun but noisy and strenuous to drive. But we miss her.

One-time workhorse for the band, she even carried a Hammond B-3 + Leslie a few times, before the band voted to quit busting our asses moving the thing around for the (non-driver) keyboardist anymore. What a thing to have to go through after putting on a show, eh? He eventually got a Korg Triton that madea lot more sense... plus our main venue has a house B-3 anyway.

We had a matching white 1968 Fastback (type III) as well, that was fun and sporty to whip around curves, but kind of a deathtrap too... we sold all of our old VW's when we became parents, and got a '99 Volvo.

Well, i guess I am the regressor here. Started out life with a BMW 3, moved onto a Honda Accord. Two years ago bought a Westy! I love it and it is definitely the best vehicle I have ever owned. I have hauled my gear and the drummer and the keys player and THEIR gear up the mountains in Colorado! No problem. Now, we're trying to name her and jck_strw suggested Brokedown Palace because they do require work which I cannot do. So, I suppose Larry Blazer is my "Bus Tech! I could build an amp, but cannot change the oil in a car! I'll try and post some pics but with all this snow and below 0 weather, she is diiiiiirty! But she is cool. Looks like a billboard advertisement for the Grateful Dead and various Dead bands.

Peace,

Gil

I've got a '71 Westy.

OT, but winter & steep grades-related, the Pacific port city where I make my home is accustomed to chilly RAIN in the wintertime, but have had a rare week of snow and freezing temperatures, with some entertaining results:

Funny sliding video! That really made me laugh. Well, I found a pic from our Kyndly Enough photo in June 07. Notice the bus on the wall of Dulcinea's. I felt some Kharma!

My little brother left me his while he was in Australia for about 8 months. It was a '77 VW Bus. He had built a bed in the back. It was awesome.
