Misato

Misato

1967 Volkswagen Type 2
(Bus)

My first splitty

I've wanted a bus since shortly after I bought my first VW, my 1974 Beetle back in 1995. I had to do without for a long while as I slowly earned money (gotta love minimum wage) that kept getting eaten up by keeping the '74 running, buying two other VWs (my '66 Beetle and a '70 Bus), and through other illicit purchases -- things that weren't VW :-). Three years of searching finally paid off when I found Misato and Dave Easterwood.
