| 05/21/08 | Tim Goodrich | I am sad to inform all of you that my brother Paul Goodrich and his wife Laurie Ann Goodrich were killed in a car accident on May 11, 2008. He was an avid bus collector and VW afficianado, all you would have to do is ask him and he would confirm this.
He will be missed but please keep him in your hearts and keep his spirit among us all. I am sure you will remember him when you see one of his many buses show up at a VW show. Thanks and from my brother, Mahalo |
| 05/12/08 | Bill Flynn | Sad and tragic news. Paul and wife Laurie were killed 5/11/08 in an accident in Kauai. Not many details yet, but we lost a great friend. |

| 02/02/08 | david | hi, do you sold this combi? I want a buy you r car,is very nice,I'm from to mexico city,I'm wait your answer,thnaks.cheerss |
| 09/23/05 | paul klein | I would love to see your pics Pat! I am in Victoria, BC so we're in the same province. I'd love to see it in person sometime too. Will email you. |
| 09/10/05 | pat | I just bought yesterday a 1966 so-44 from the origional owner who immigrated to canada in 1966 and brought it over from germany new on a russian freighter. it has 145k and is like new. it has the same top as yours. would like to send my pics, from kelowns bc canada |
| 08/15/05 | Kent Zschoche | Paul, email me. I was wondering if could get photos of the upholstery on your rear seat/bed. It looks like that normal Westy "Ear Wax Gold" vinyl. Mine has been replaced with cloth.... I know that ain't right. |
| 08/12/05 | Paul | Neato! I would love to see some pics of the invoice if you have a scanner and some more pics of your bus including that NOS chandelier! |
| 08/12/05 | Kent Zschoche | I have the original invoice from the dealer in Germany. The tent isn't on it, but maybe the tent was a part of the camping equipment. I have two popouts and four stationary windows. You should remove the third window on the driver's side of your bus and see if there's a popout hinge there. Not for any particular reason; it would just be interesting. I'm actually driving out to the original owner's house tomorrow (Sat 8-13-05)to show them the bus. I'll ask them about the jug... |
| 08/12/05 | Paul | Yes, the window config is kind of crazy. Do you have one or two pop-outs? You should post a pic of your lamp still in the wrapping...super cool. The water jug goes in the middle cabinet under the sink I think. There should be a hose going to the sink pump that sits in the jug. It also looks like you may have had a 'foyer' tent at one time judging from the brackets on your roof on the passenger side. Do you happen to have the original order form? I don't have mine yet, but might be able to get it someday. |
| 08/12/05 | Kent Zschoche | Water jugs? No, what are those all about? I do have the hanging lamp in the original cellophane in perfect shape. The original owner claims it never had a tent... I don't know how that happened but oh well. There is no stove, only the sink and counter area to the right of it. What's up with your window configuration- 4 louvered, one popout, and one stationary... crazy! You're right about the similar options. Every one I've seen has the column lock. |
| 08/12/05 | Paul | Thanks Kent! Saw yours too (very mint) and was going to email you some questions. Plans are to clean it up, slow down the rusting if possible and get it on the road. Interesting how all the SO44's I have seen have similar options such as steering/ignition locks and gas heaters. Do you have the water jug(s), hanging lamp, stove, etc? |
| 08/11/05 | Kent Zschoche | Awesome bus! I have a '65 SO44 posted in the gallery, but mine has the conventional Westy pop-top. What are your plans for it? |

| 08/10/05 | Julian Dalton | Hi mike WoW Thanks for your comment, bout time somebody layed the truth on me. Five years restoring that 63 bus of mine, and three years showing, it and only you in all your wisdom has the guts to tell me like it is. Never was convinced those judges new what they were looking at when they awarded it, Two 3rds Two 2nds. Three 1sts and Two Best of shows, the last one just sunday gone actually at the Deva Dubs Chester show. You really have convinced me that i wasted my time. Also it is nice to see you commenting so critically on other contributers to this site.
And there was me thinking that the internet was just perused by Malicious Vindivtive little shits intent on running others efforts down. Hell maybe you would like to pop over to my place and help mr do a proper job this time. a willing knoledgable pair of hands is always welcome in my garage. ~Great hearing from you matey |
| 08/04/05 | Mike | Hope you don't ruin this one with a fake sunroof. |
