On the left is a picture of my wonderful 1963 rag top Beetle. I purchased it from a little old Lady who bought it new and took very good care of it. It had been stored for 7 years when I got it but as you can see it wasn't abused. All I've done to 'Doris' is give her a good cleaning inside and out, waxing, tune-up, front end rebuild, brake overhaul, and replaced some of the rubber which was dried out. I'm very proud of her and love the looks and waves I get while driving her around Dallas.

On the Right is my Custom Made Rail Dune Buggy. Lot's of fun out on the Ranch. But the Cow's sure don't appreciate the LOUD Exhaust.

My replacement for the 99 NB I totaled. See Pix of the 99

 2003 NBC GLS. 150 hp. Turbocharged Gas engine, Sundown Orange, 5 spd., Leather, New Beetle Convertible. I'm told this is one of the rarest NBC's and 1 of 7 in the US in this package. Have a NBC? Check out my Auctions on Ebay for memorabilia! NBC Logo items, Toys, etc.

On the left is a Picture from overhead of my small Ranch. I bought it in 96' Lock, Stock and Barrel and went from City boy to Ranch hand in a few months. It's been a learning experience for sure. I had never even been close to cattle until then. Now I have 30 and run the place myself.
I purchased the place to allow me to keep all my old cars out behind the house without catching Hell from the neighbors and City. I had planned to restore VW's when I bought it but it's kind of hard when you work a full time job and try and keep cattle, along with the usual homeowner duties.

To the right of that is a close up of the Ranch house.
