I've had girlfriends with both stains and holes already in them. But, that's where I draw the line.

The girfriends or the pants?

Bad ass! Man, I LOVE that! Tell me about it please

That was forwarded to me by a friend who is an Airbus pilot for Air Canada. Here is the caption that came with the photo, not his words:


EVA Air Boeing 747-45EM taking off from runway 36L at Amsterdam, Schiphol, Netherlands.

The great timing and angle just makes this shot, and the size of the 747, look surreal.

The distance to the fence was 145 meters(475ft)... Yikes!

I wonder if anyone computed the take-off distance prior to the trip?

whats up with the split window ? whatcha got planned ?

It belongs to a good friend of mine, we found it in '92. The fellow he bought it from had it all apart and had rolled the body outside to take it to the body shop in the morning. That night the garage burnt to the ground. Guy was so cranked off about it that he just sold the remains to my friend. The pan survived without warping somehow, everything else was toast.

My friend is a restoration nut. You know, the correct K-max bolts, etc, the whole nine yards. He's putting off the restoration until he finds the last correct item he needs, a dome light.

Its a Zwitter. They have a bunch of the rarest parts in the VW world, being 6-month only cars. Built from Oct '52 - Mar '53, they featured the new style dashboard most commonly known as an Oval Window dash, and also used the older roof stamping with the distinctive Split Window. Zwitter is german for Bastard, given to these cars by an American VW club in the 70's.

It is unreal how many 6-month only parts they have on them. I've leaned on him for years to just toss it together and enjoy the thing, while still searching for all the correct parts. He's a diehard though, and in no hurry. This picture is from when I "stole" it from him (his wife was in on the secret) and used my breadtruck (which he helped secure for me) to haul it around for different inspections in order to secure the title which he never recieved. I got it back undetected, and his christmas present from me was a clear title and these pictures. Took him a little while to figure out exactly what he was looking at........he kinda teared up a little when he figured it out. This all transpired just 2 years ago, so after 17 years he officially owns it.

Lots of fun. Its why I'm in this hobby.
