After listing my Bus on the samba i recieved a pm from a good friend Gary about a thread started about my bus.

The thread was soon locked as pointless so i started another to which got replies mentioning 'pointless'and was locked before i could reply

I pm'd the guy who started the origional thread(before i posted the new thread) who replied with....

Here's the History:
The Company that had the truck was called "WEnatchee Binding and Printing COmpany", wenatchee being the city I live in here in Washington state.
They bought it at the dealer here in town in 1971 I think, so the truck was a couple years old, and they had it painted at that time for the business. They used the truck for about 12 years until the two business partners got into a disagreement and the company folded.
In an attempt to get some money out of his investment one of the partners started taking things and the truck was one of the things he took.
The truck was parked in 1984 in his back yard, I actually found out about it in 1993, but he wouldn't sell it until 2002 when I got it.
Whatever the ODO says is original mileage too, there was a log book with the truck that the driver filled out meticulously with mileage and fill-ups, and repairs.



so pointless to those who dont give a sh*t maybe but to me and the rest of the dub loving community...........PRICELESS 8)
 
it was a surprise to the a bitchin thread on the samba :wink:

especially the "and the bus is now in the UK" comment priceless :mrgreen:
 
I can't see how that is pointless. at the very least its a story with a happy ending,well it is to anyone who is passionate about old VW's.
 
Funny old lot on there some times ...

They are having a gripe about Deano now -

They dont always appreciate the costs involved in shipping and taxes, the money spent on mechanical mods and the cost of getting them sorted and legal, nor the comparison of dry US buses vs. rotton UK ones, so are often shocked at resale prices. They moan about people 'flipping' buses, but thats what drives the scene, as far as I can see.

Thats nice to get that info on the SC though, whatever they say!
 
They do have a point when it comes to some of the busses with people trying to make fast money, however I agree they seem to forget the costs incurred and the fact a lot will not make big profit and in cases will take a hit....

And regards Deanos bus they really need to see the full picture from shed to its current state love it or loath it, theres a lot of effort gone into that van...
 
its sad really!winge winge winge but all over the country is busses sat by the road side rotting away...thats where all their busses are going!

Ive met some real good guys on there who like their busses coming over here due to the lack of respect they have over there.

Ive change my ad a little...give them something to talk about!! :lol:

Just had a look on that samba thread. What struck me most was that they all seem to be illiterate, and have know nolledge of grammer or punktuation. Also, what the hell do they mean by the phrase 'smoke a bowel' ????
