This reminds me of the first weekend I ever had my type 3 on the road.... I got it on the road on a thursday ( the first time in over 8 years that it was driven anywhere.....), the next day I was off the the Great Canadian Bug Show...... over 200 miles away...... so a couple of friends and I caravan to Toronto for the show, get there without any major incidents, set up for the weekend at a campsite, so here we are in one of Canada's largest city, first weekend with my Square on the road, what to do ? Lets head into the big city :-) We were cruising around, saw only a couple of other air cooled cars, head onto Young Street ( the longest Street in North America ( maybe the world ?)) anyway..... we are driving down Young Street, nest thing you know a car full of Punks ( you know orange, green hair, chains.. etc......) comes screaming up beside me, one of them practically hanging out the passenger window, he is yelling "Awesome car, what year is it ? I used to have a 70 Squareback..... Cool !!!!!!!" it was quite a funny incident......... that along with getting free window cleanings fromQ'Ìleegee Kids, just because they like the car..... but that is another story :-) BTW... the car made the whole trip without any problems... however my friends 74 Type 2 lost his steering ( we fixed that with hose clamps, duct tape, steel banding, and pieces of snow fence....)
