The Long Haul VW!

Although the title of this post may seem oxy-moronic (or just moronic), this VW trekked all the way from Washington State to Heckscher Park in Huntington, NY. How it made that trip is anyone's guess, but obviously everyone in that van was a qualified mechanic! This baby blue T2 was actually in very nice shape, and started right up when the brave travelers turned the ignition, which leads me to believe that it wasn't a real VW at all, but a Honda of some kind.

Cool Transporter Pickup

Well, we got lucky and found this in the Amityville Beach parking lot August 2008. It seems that some company, Lifeonaboard.com decided to use a nice condition VW pickup for advertising. I was secretly hoping that their website would be down, so I could make a snarky reference between the reliability of their chosen transportation and their company, but no suck luck. Enjoy the pictures!

Down on the Beach!

So apparently beaches are the cool hang out spot for these vans. Just like the purple van that is listed below this was found in field 5 of Robert Moses Park. Unlike its purple brethren, it is slightly more ugly! This swamp monster of Westfalias is beautifully decorated with speedy stripes, lifestyle promoting stickers and your daily requirement of rust. This van apparently runs, and is one of the few that isn't in a garage. I think if our masked hero poked the metal side paneling his hand would go right through!

Enjoy!
