Invest in precious metal

Growing up, I always wished I had been born 30 years earlier. I would have been at Yasgur's farm in Woodstock with flowers in my hair. I would chant 'Give Peace a Chance' and wear love beads. But alas, I was born in 81, long after a lot of hippies traded in their tie-dye tshirts for three piece suits. I like granola. Hate guns. Believe in organic farming and sustainable living. I've been to my share of peace protests with flowers in my hair. I've got the beads and the tie-dye muu-muus and a lot of hope for a world free of war. I've kept my parents old vynil records, but I have all the good oldies on CD to listen to in the VW. My father lent me the money to buy this van before I even had a driver's licence. One of the gifts he has passed on to me is his love for cars. So Papa, thanks for believing in me and thanks for investing in precious metal. I couldn't grow up in the 60's, but this truly is the next best thing.
The following pictures have been taken over the course of the last 3 years and we're finally almost done the restoration. Soon enough, we'll be starting up on my father's VW van - a 1979 Transporter. Stay tuned for more pictures.
And remember to support your local organic farmers!
Peace & Love,
Nattie
