The swap meet was cool.  The wife summed that up perfect, “Nothing we can’t live without”.

Now it was off to the car show portion.  We tripped over bugs and busses, but had to hunt down the Ghias.  We saw 5-6, and only two verts.  I think we’ll be driving her’s up next year.

The couple has bought a 1971 Karmann Ghia hardtop in the Northeast United States and is driving it home.  There journey really starts about here, scroll down and start reading where you see the young lady eating a biscuit.
