Jim,
That sounds like a wonderful history. You know when a friend of mine
died I was 'given' a camel in the will but no one could 'find' the
camel so I did not get it. Long story there but anyway I am glad I
didn't since I now have no place to keep it. I was given the Farm and
sadly have to sell it to pay off his debts.
Camels, VWs, DJs, and Revolution. Who'd a thunk it...

Here's a personal VW bus story... I bought my 74 Type 2 camper
in Saudi
Arabia in 1978. It had been purchased in Holland in 74 and
driven back to
Dhahran. It was then purchased in 75 by a Pakistani friend who
took it to
Mecca on the Hajj. I then bought it, drove it for the next 10
years in
Saudi, camping at the beach in it most weekends with my 2 small
sons (4 &
2). When it came time to leave Saudi, I said I would sell it,
but my oldest
son protested. He said it was his brother and I couldn't sell
it. So I
leased a container and shipped it back to Canada. Now 15 years
later, my
oldest son, now 31, still has it and is rebuilding it... Jim
PS... We (and it) survived a collision with a camel coming home
from the
beach one weekend...

P.S. I love my VW Bus (72 Transporter converted into a Camper
Bus).
I've got a 76 in bright orange. It's rather a good
workhorse (I DJ on weekends and use it for the sound etc).
