My French westy

[paddy56]

Hello there,

My name is Patrice, but my English family call me Paddy because it is easier to pronounce ( my wife is English ). I am French, I live in Brittany with my wife and son, and I go to England at least twice a year.
I have been the proud owner of a '68 100%-original Westfalia for 5 years. I bought it in Toulouse ( where I lived for 5 years ) from the first-owners' son.

She is velvet green and her name is "Daisy"... I am very glad to be on this forum, I like the English VW scene and my dream is to come to Vanfest and Brighton Breeze.
Best regards
Paddy
