If you were on The Samba (VW forums) back in 2004, you might remember these guys. They bought a VW Bus on eBay, got burned by the seller, and were stuck in Hollywood after flying out from IL thinking they'd be able to just drive it home. After weeks of help from a local bassist (bottomend) they finally got to hit the road for home with some donations from other VW owners. I filmed this in the Wienerschnitzel parking lot at La Palma and Magnolia in Anaheim, CA, after giving them the donation money. Enjoy!

  • I guess they blew the heads right when they got home, but I hope they didn't leave it at a junkyard only to be crushed. If they did, they didn't deserve all the help from the community in the first place.

  • Unfortunately they never posted a follow up as far as I know.

  • That's what it sounds like.

  • haha I pictured them somewhat differently, but they're still awesome. I live down the street from where this was filmed.

    Did they even make it back to Illinoise?

    -max

  • They made it. The bus didn't.

  • What happened to it?

  • Nobody really knows. If you follow the threads on the Samba, you'll see what the 3 hippies had to say about it. They never really explained though...

  • I gotta say man, after all your help and Bottomend's monumental Noble Grease Award, and the entire community outpouring, they owed it to everyone not to leave it so open-ended. The VW community are the ones with the true "love", these guys were just a bunch a selfish Rasta dreamers that in the end didn't really care about anything or anyone. Ok had to get that off my chest after spending 3 hours this morning reading everything only to have such a crappy final chapter.

  • After taking hours reading the threads, I would like to know what happened to the bus.... anyone know?

  • So pretty much the engine blew 25 miles from their house...

    Right?
