A bus couple...

Every once in a while, I get contacted through this site because people find it while searching for VW stuff on google. People are looking for a bus to rent for a function or wedding, etc.

It happened a month ago when Jessica emailed asking to take engagement photos with Big Blue. Having never seen Big Blue before, Jessica had no idea he's a bit of a Monet - the closer you get the more you notice the imperfections. So I sent her to our good pal PJAlau who has the Elementhis Blog, and drives a great 1970 bus that has been shown on this blog several times.

So things worked out. He was able to offer up his bus and photos were taken. And they are great photos. See below! (More photos are at this website: http://www.anitamartinblog.com/2013/jessica-and-zaks-vw-bus-rodeo-beach-engagement-sausalito-san-francisco-engagement-photographer/)

Note: I have no rights to these photos so props to the couple in the photos and Anita Martin Photography for doing such a great job. 

And here's to the happy couple with many miles (hopefully some in a VW) ahead:

Vantigo - A new VW bus service in SF

Wait a second! You can turn driving a VW bus around into a business idea?!? Damn! Why didn't I think of this. I hope these people rock it and make it and have fun doing it. They are long-time VW people, and they are trying to turn that into a dream. Right on. Check them out at http://vantigosf.com/.

VW Bug as.... Biker Trailer!

My friend Danica sent me this picture of this VW bug being used as a trailer for some bikers in San Francisco over the weekend. Here's what she had to say:

Saw this yesterday on 19th [Street]. I was trying to get a shot of the front end. It looked like they bondoed the front end and then they had a cooler strapped up there. Kind of a hard core looking group with a guy up front on a Harley in a Sturgis T-shirt and two guys on some heavy bikes bringing up the rear. We were behind them when we went through the tunnel and man they really laid on the throttle!
