sounds like I'm  the old guy here  over 70 

and some how I seem to remember seeing  the Porsche  syncro  in the back round  of shots  in a winter race some where in the mountains of europe

think they were used as support  vehicles   I was impressed enough to watch them haling ass on the winter mountain roads  at  quite high speed 

this was a long time ago   and at that time my only VW buss experience was driving an old type one camper 36 hp  in the mountains of Mexico  from Sioux City Iowa to Acapulco and back  

up hill  pull out the throttle ( the curse control of the day )   in 3rd  or 2nd gear  front window cranked open for air  often door open for air  and a cold beer in hand 

got passed by bicycles 

now have an 87 westy subaru powered  and much to do on it  when I have time  or rather make time

Recipe for happiness in Khaborovsk
 or any place 

One grand boulevard with trees
with one grand cafe in sun
with strong black coffee in very small cups

One not necessarily very beautiful 
man or woman who loves you  

one fine day
