Flashback :)

This is a VW repair shop in a nearby neighborhood. They have some wonderful vintage VW micro buses on site that are lovingly repaired and maintained. I'll have to go back and get some shots of them. I had groceries in the car so just stopped long enough to get a shot of the sign.
Oh greatness! Love the framing to put the sign in perspective. Nice find!!

Cool! Do the repairmen have long hair and wear sandals? heh

Oh, Peggy, I agree with Bob. Everything about this is wonderful. (The fact that we owned 3 VW vans back in the day may explain some of our affection for this!)
