Re: 2025 4th of July Island Style
Thanks Pete and all the rest of you! Really fun for me that the kids and grandkids enjoy it so much. Also I have made an effort to keep the woodie as a 'driver' with semi-gloss varnish brushed on and old seats out of other vehicles so they can feel relaxed crawling around with collected beach rocks in one hand, and an ice cream cone in the other. The woodie becomes a true daily driver in the summer. Being able to drive a manual transmission is almost a lost art in this day and age, but I heard Molly telling someone it was like riding a bike, how it comes right back.
