I was undecided about my future. Where was I going to live? What was I going to do? Was I ready to settle down? If so how many cats did I want?

Instead I have chosen the open road, a car older than me and a group of people who clearly love an adventure as much as I do.

Along the way we hope to raise oodles of cash for charity.

 

3rd July 2009, the journey begins…..

Tom, a 22 year old kiwi, heading home via pretty much everywhere else.

1976 VW Baja Beetle

 

I found Max on Ebay via the owners club. After attempting and failing to drive back to Yorkshire, we arrived home on a flat bed.

 

I stripped out the old soggy carpets and rustproofed the floorpan.

 

Then we swapped the T4 engine for a newly rebuilt 1600 T1 which should be easier to source parts for.

 

At some point we will be visiting Fall-apart-Dave for further pimping.
