Like that photobook very much. Was at an off-road race recently that had a group of Baja Bugs. Those guys were dirt banditos and got more cheers than the GroupE 1,000hp cars.

As some one who's owned 13 VW's of every type and description since the age of 16 I thoroughly enjoyed this pictorial. Thanks for letting us tag along on this tour, my friend!
