I picked up my '66 in February of 2009 and I just now got around to registering for this site.
Currently I own 4 VWs and 1 Porsche. My parents drove the family around in a '58 bus so I've been a VW person all my life. I took my drivers test at 16 in a '67 13 Window Deluxe Bus.
These days I'm involved with our local club which is a chapter of the Vintage Volkswagen Club of America. www.centralcoastvwclub.com One of our main functions besides driving and restoring VWs is raising money for soldiers wounded in battle. You may have seen our raffles on thesamba, but for some reason we haven't raffled a '66 yet!? Someday we'll have to remedy that.
My journey with a '66 started Jan 09 when I received this email...
"Hi, I was hoping you could steer me the right way. I have a 66 VW that is fairly unusual. I had always hoped to to a frame off restoration, but it doesn't look like that will happen. This car is a "german standard" that was sold to the german public only, has a sliding sunroof, three spoked steering wheel. I'd love for it to go to an enthusiast. Ideas?

OK, are you as excited now as I was when that popped up in my inbox!
I'll tell you more about the car in the "My 66 Beetle" forum.
