Since Bob outed us <G>.....I guess we can let you all in on the good news.

Ever since Jill attended the Michigan Invasion on 2008 and saw her first
Type 34 Ghia she has lusted one.  Seeing Doug's at the 2010 Invasion only
reinforced that desire.  This spring, things aligned budget-wise and we put
the word out that we were looking for a Type 34 for her.  We watched the
Samba, checked out a few leads from Lee Hedges, and then Lee came through
with the car we bought.

The car is great.  As Bob mentioned we are getting it from the son of the
original owner.  We have the original Georgia title issues in 1967!  The car
was restored by the husband of the owner in the early 90s as a birthday
present for her 75th birthday.

Here are some links to a few pictures.  These were taken by the owner's
son.....we are still waiting for it to be shipped up from Georgia (which is
making Jill crazy <G>).   Hoping it is here in time for a debut at the
Michigan Vintage Festival next weekend.

The cars needs very little done to it.  We will tweak a few things and Jill
will be driving it regularly.  We are really looking forward to having our
own little caravan to the 2012 Invasion next year. <G>

Later,
