Not sure where that is, but it has been around awhile. I saw that online back in 97. I bet Colin could get that running again.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Did you ever wonder why people always pick the VW Beetle to do things like this with?

Greatest car ever made, perhaps?

I used to drive one, so I'm kind of fond of them. It had bumpers like the stone beetle, a cute little '64 with two tone tail lights and light blue paint. I must admit though, that I longed for a bus for years before finding a pal for the bug.

Does anyone know where the Stone Beetle is? I may have to make a pilgrimage to it. Might become a monument, like Mount Rushmore. Or possibly an ACVW holy place, such as the Wailing Wall or Stonehenge! I can imagine Druidic followers, offering prayer of hope at the Stone Beetle:

"Oh please thy Beetle of Stone, let my Westy live again, heal thy clutch."

Yuck, :pukeleft:. That is VW inspiration? Makes me feel like Tom Hanks's character in the TV comedy "Bosom Buddies" when he mocked gallery-goers lauding a white canvas with a large red circle in the center. "It's the flag of Japan," he said, shaking his head in wonderment. No offense Birdi, I am not cultured is all.
