Starting from the statement that "Self-derision is always a good thing", here is a TV coverage, broadcasted on August 1995 on the french channel FR3, from the Annual VW Meeting of Menton...
OK, now, the fun part of this video : your faithful webmaster, me myself & I, by then aged 20, at 01:05! I'm already 32 today... But when I see the weird face I had, I feel like getting older can be a benefit!
Come on, laugh at me - I do so myself!
For those of you who know him, you can even see Marco at 00:12... Hello buddy!
Those are period accessories, that crimp around the backrests of the seats. First, it reassures me, as I always think about the whiplash injury riding the KG (but not in the '59 nor the Thing, God knows why?)... Plus, it gives the seats a little 911-ish look, uh?
For those of ou who follow the project, I've got two XXS Thing shells for sale... 181 euros each, shipping charges to be defined.
Hurry up guys, there won't be enough for everyone : the current mold is broken, no new shells expected before long... If any...
The shells I sell are the two rightmost ones on the above picture (detailed in the two below pictures)... Want more information? contact-me... Later will be too late!
EDIT 03/14/2007 : One of the shells for sale is already sold... If you want the very last one, hurry up! EDIT 13/04/2007 : The second shell, reserved for a while, has been shipped this morning...
I had this idea while reading the "dormir dans son 181" (how to sleep in your thing) article (you need to register to read the article) written by PJ, the webmaster of 181Spirit.com... Excellent idea, I must say!
I only doubled the system to get a fully "Westaliazed" Thing, perfect to sleep at the Menton annual meeting!
Here it is!
Hey, time is passing by, I'm getting too old to sleep directly on the floor!
