Pinballs and Volkswagens
Oddly, there seems to be a subculture inside our subculture. I am coming across many pinball collectors who have Volkswagens.
Yesterday at Uberhare's place I saw a giant North American one of a kind mini bus. I ran into an unknown collector when I was in Newfoundland who had an assortment of beetles. I've seen Geester crash over at my place in a minibus way back during one of the Hawkesbury flea fairs and I believe Ghislain has one as well. There are a couple more people that I can't think of at the moment. Would anyone else like to chime in regarding their Volkswagens?
Can we see some pictures?

Re: Pinballs and Volkswagens
Yep, I still have my '70.
You could have seen it, Chris, but you were too busy to drop by.
Well, I kid. It's actually been in my mom's garage for the last few years. Needs just a little bit of work.
Beforehand, my beetle was actually stored for over a decade in this bride's dad's garage. Brought home in Nov. 2013
Used to be my college-daze daily driver in the '90's. Hope to get it restored!

Re: Pinballs and Volkswagens
You are all nut jobs !!!!!!! VW nut jobs.
Urban Dictionary definition # 5
nutjob
a batshit-crazy person; someone who is out of reality with reality. May or may not have a shopping list of mental disorders.
Collecting pinball machines is the first sure sign of being a nut job. You people are just taking it to a whole new level. That's right, I'm taking to you Jason, you VW driving, plane flying, computer reprogramming, pinball collecting total uber whacked out nut job!

Re: Pinballs and Volkswagens
LOL I recall going to Ottawa from Toronto too pick up a machine in my VW Passat ..coming home with a Pinball in the back seat , back box in the trunk... had to bungee the door closed cuz the machine was 2 inches too wide....
Re: Pinballs and Volkswagens
Restored and sold my 73 super beetle last summer. Kinda miss it but looking at a couple 70s Porsches at my friends. If he'll ever sell.
