Both endless summer movies are excellent entertainment. The original 
(1966) shows a lot of VW buses all over the world. The second movie 
shows a lot of VWs in South Africa, where the Syncro and dune buggy 
were shown. The director and narrator, Bruce Brown, shows a lot of 
amusing scenes, including the one where the buggy stalls out in the 
game preserve and lions crawl all over it with the surfers inside. 
Highly recommended.
