How funny,
Guilty as charged, I was up the sunshine coast for thursday friday Saturday and came back, stopped on Zilmere road saturday arvo and was on the mobile to a friend asking directions to his place.
I get a buzz reading how I was seen here or there,

I try to wave at other VWs but often they are not enthusiasts and I feel silly waving to people who look at me oddly and when I decide to relax or concentrate on driving, then someone else catches me off guard and then they pass before I get my wave going.

PS I dont like hats but have learned to wear one in Herbie with the roof back as I have had a few bouts of sunstroke from exposure now.
Between Herbie and the MGB I have learned my lesson.

Cheers Tony

yeah, i know what you mean about the 'wave' thing.
I wasn't driving the kombi Saturday so i had to resist the urge to wave - would have felt a bit stupid 😀

Was he on the ocean side or the inland side when you saw him?
He would have been floating high because of the lack of passengers.
I dont know how to stop him popping off like that, but then thats the beauty of Herbie, he thinks for himself.
Even if I could stop him, I would not,
because hes my friend.

I drove past a shiney glass building today in brisbane,
AND I SAW HERBIE!!!

in the reflection, and a little later on, I saw Herbie too, {not mine} looking a bit unloved, in need of a good wash.

I am surprised that no one spotted me on the outback trip, I went to Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney and waved and got the wave from heaps of VWs and all sorts but no one it appears, saw me.
