That's more of a deep teal, not really blue.

So I spent the day working on the car scraping and scraping and ...... Had enough. I take the tires to a small tire shop by the house to switch the tires onto stock rims so I can scrape on the faux eight spoke Empis and i can still roll the pan around. I am pulling out of the tire shop and I see a yellow Combi. The guy turns about a block from the tire shop so I follow him. he disappears into a neighborhood and then suddenly I see the Combi parked in the center of the yard under a portable tarp. Why is it in the center of the yard you ask? BECAUSE THERE ARE AT LEAST THREE BUSES AND SIX BUGS IN THE DRIVEWAY!!!!! The buses hide the rest of the yard that has even more cars and a fence covers everything from the other side. All were so well covered that I could not tell years, types or anything about them. They are all very well covered from top to bottom. Then, I see an old man unloading groceries from the Combi. I go to the corner, turn around and come back to the house and he is nowhere to be found. Couldn't bring myself to knock on the door. If you look close in the photo you can see the tarps over the buses just over the bugs in the front. I know there has to be something very good in the yard. Going to have to work up the nerve to knock on the door.

NO. The photo below is stalking. It’s an aerial view of the house and there are more buses than I thought. I haven’t been back yet to check it out.

On another note, I spoke to a guy last night with a 67 splitty that is decorated like an art car (lives in the Fairfield area). He was telling me that someone in the Houston area is collecting buses and ships them to England because of the high demand. He sends containers full on a regular basis. WTF!!!! Between these two hoarders non one else can have any.

I would blame it on all the splitty guys who created this artificial price bubble. They drove the prices to the moon so now the only ones who can afford that stuff are overseas.

There are a few guys who ship busses overseas. One in Conroe and one in Houston. I don't think they exclusivly ship to the UK, but they will.

So my stalking continues.
This is crazy!!!!!!
This time its a guy in Dade City, Florida.

For a quarter of a century, Sunray Bugs was a destination for Volkswagen aficionados from around the world.
If you had a VW Bug from the summer of love and you needed a windshield wiper, there was one man to call: Corky Yager.
Rest assured, he'd jump in a golf cart and scoot across his 10-acre VW graveyard until he found the part.
Then he'd restore it and ship it anywhere.
But the VW graveyard, on U.S. 301 just north of Dade City, has been scraped bare.
Pasco County Code Enforcement spent five days in December clearing the southern half of the property.
Yager, 83, estimates the hauler removed 200 tons of metal from the site

I looked it up on google and the photo is below.
