    Wow, this looks great. Can’t work out what the magic ingredient is but wow.
    This is the kind of thing that would sell out of a print catalogue easy – so if you’re stuf isn’t already in one, start approaching them!

    Fantastic Mugsy, I love the framing…the tree (I imagine a hippy hugging it) the dark sky….(the closing of an era) the van is awesome.

    Mugsy. Brilliant, just brilliant.Beautiful colors at perfect saturation. Love the composition with the tree weighing into the balance. It’s like you are peeking around it. Voyeuristic almost. Love it. Really Love it.

    Cool! I wish I had one of those and travel europe!

  • Mugsy

    Mugsy, about 1 year ago

    Thodoris…. I really don’t think you’d want to…... it’s powered by a 1200cc engine, has drum brakes all around with the stopping power of an elephant drunk on Marula and skating on ice, as well as the roadholding of a castrated bull on rollerskates.
    But if you’re going to travel, take me with…. I’ll help push it up hills!!!!
    Still, I’m sure that so many of us had so much fun with these old buses (my parents had 2 of them… and they weren’t even hippies!!!

  • SherbrookePhoto

    SherbrookePhoto, about 1 year ago

    Wonderful shot, sad to know it’s been scrapped. Are they that bad Mugsy, c’mon i’ve had three of them (they say if you remember the sixties you weren’t really there: I’m the abberation: was there and remember). Drove a Kombi around Australia, slept on every beach in the country, likewise Fiji for two years. Kombis rule! So do shots like this.

  • Mugsy

    Mugsy, about 1 year ago

    SherbrookePhoto…...... I have two weaknesses, (don’t tell anyone!) namely women and motor cars, both God’s gift to mankind, but if all women were so slow, so cumbersome, so accommodating, so noisy, so….....................come to think of it…...............................!!!!!!

    RonaldBreeze, about 1 year ago

    Ride on! Keep on truckin’. Smoke dope, skip rope and have hope, go united! A far out shot! See we’re not all dead, we just look that way. I owned at least three of these and some of the best times of my life were spent in one including a spiritual journey up the California coast via Hwy 1, surfboard on top. It ended up taking three months and I lived out of my ‘66 everyday. Thanks for this pic it has really brought back some excellent memories.

  • Mugsy

    Mugsy, about 1 year ago

    I hear you Ronald…. we had some great times in ours too – fuel was cheap, it was safe to go where your heart took you….... nostalgia is a growing old disease!
